Stepping Back

I finally had the perfect trio of time, daylight, and a clean kitchen to get some photos of how the shelves look (you can read about them here).









And as for the details on the shelves:

  • Bowls from Anthropologie - check.
  • Toy truck from Bangladesh - check.
  • Condiments container from France - check
  • Baskets to corral junk like tape and candles and batteries - check, check, check, and check!





Did you notice the collection of vintage mason jars on the counter?  They are an early Christmas present from a friend and I'm working on the details of using them on the sideboard at Christmas.  Stay tuned!




Oh, and did you notice the chocolates that coordinate with the accent colour on the shelves.  Very important to always have chocolates that coordinate with your decor.

    Your kitchen is lovely. I like the shelves, and really like the one at the end of the counter piled with dishes. Of course I spotted the vintage canning jars-what a sweet and thoughtful gift.

    I LOVE your kitchen. The bowls from Anthro are fabulous (and the condiments container and toy truck give it a special touch). Love the jars and just about everything you've done. It feels light, airy, cozy, and all around wonderful.
