I talked my daughter into doing her kitchen retro style, baby! It is cute beyond belief for a young, hip, with-it kind of gal! HER kitchen is all about style cuz I don't think she ever uses it for cooking!
We drove 3 hours there and back TWICE for this cart cuz little miss indecisive couldn't commit the first day we saw it. But now . . . totally worth it!
Kinda worried me for a minute when she wanted this baby scale! But it was so the right color and now she can weigh all her junkmail! Lovely grey tiles on the walls but it's a rental and there is only so much you can do.
Like when all the cabinet handles are an icky, coppery color. There are about 30 little cupboard doors so buying new just wasn't feasible. So we grabbed the Modge Podge and some pretty turquoise and red paper and decopauged each one!
(Uh, yeah. No photography awards for these pics!)
I guess the obsession with scales is hereditary. I think she literally grabbed this one out of my hands! I better start counting mine cuz they may start to be kidnapped from my house and kept for ransom in her's! She is known to put sticky notes on the things she wants from my house just in case something happens to me. Nice to know that at least my junk is appreciated!
Round two of tomato canning is about to commence so gotta run.
Now, go do something that makes you happy!

So cute, I especially love the the cabinet handles!
So funny about the sticky notes. My Granma was always telling us to put our name on something every time we visited.

Never would have thought to decoupage the knobs...fabulous idea! And I like that tile a lot... Happy Tuesday. ~~
The cabinet knobs came out great! Lol about the sticky notes and kidnapping scales!
Canning tomatoes...oh,....that's how I grew up...a basement full of home-canned goods. The flavor is so yummy...nothing like those canned ones from the store. I'm jealous! ADORABLE decorating in your daughter's kitchen. Thought the knobs were so clever! The sticky notes story is a riot!
That is adorable and the landlord better pay you big for those cabinet handles. They are about the cutest little retro thing I have ever seen, baby!
