I was recently asked by my brother in law (who built our now three year old kitchen) to snap a few photos for his joinery business. Our kitchen is rarely spotless, with three kids in the house, there is always something going on in there. You clean, and they get something else out. There are always assorted jars fermenting, dishes out and things on the stove. You know how it goes. So when I took these pictures I gave everything a good clean, added some flowers and snapped away. Although you've seen my kitchen before, I'm not sure if I've shown it in it's entirety. So here it is in a (rare) very tidy state. (Just don't mind the sheet still hanging in the window!)
Edited to add : For more on our house and how it came into being, check out this old post, our house.
I love your kitchen Tania. I could spend hours and hours in there. My kitchen is only tidy at the end of the evening once everyone has gone to bed and I can clean it without interruption xo
ReplyDeleteTania I adore your kitchen, it's so spacious and light. It really is the heart of a home isn't it?
ReplyDeleteXx

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, a kitchen for any homemaker to admire! Simply lovely, good for you!! :)
ReplyDeleteSimple and perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove your kitchen - especially the open shelves :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful Kitchen - I'd happily be in there all day long :-) Your brother-in-law did an amazing job. I would love some open shelves like this to house my bits and pieces. Mel x
ReplyDeletegreat space, storage and room to move!! how do you keep the dust off your open shelves though?
ReplyDeleteLauren
Love you kitchen. It has a country vibe and is really beautiful and simple. I love the splash of colours from your pots.
ReplyDeleteLove reading your blog! It's in my top 3 that I read daily.

I think we should swap kitchens...mine is ravishing with dated pine cupboards and a ruby red bench top - my oven doesn't seal properly and the stove range-hood is so noisy it's like a plane is taking off - you'd love it ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen. It looks huge compared to mine, and so warm and inviting. I just want to get in to that pantry of yours!
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is being removed this weekend and the new one installed on Tuesday! One more week of my ugly 30 year old peach kitchen! (We won't mention that the stone bench tops will take another week though.) I'm so excited. For good or bad I have gone with an all white kitchen. It has a vintage vibe (I hope - it's hard to tell if it is going to turn out how you visualised, isn't it?) and I am looking forward to cooking up a storm once it is done.
Will have to take some before and afters. Of all the renovations, the kitchena and the bathroom make a house I think. Hubby designed the bathroom, so the kitchen was mine. Hope I got it right! xx
I love it! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletesuch a lovely space Tania, your brother in law certainly did a wonderful job! I love all those open top shelves and your collection of wares xx
ReplyDeleteit looks like a very functional space... i think i might bang myself on your sink though every time i walked past it jutting out so far like that
ReplyDeleteHi Lauren - I manage to keep the bottom (often used) shelves pretty much dusted as they are often empty when I use the cups or bowls etc, but the top ones unfortunately stay dusty until I rearrange them.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I have not once bumped into the sink, and had not even thought of it until you mentioned it.
I love it. Very homey and charming.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great space you have there, looks incredibly clean. My husband used to say we ought to take a picture of when everything is neat and tidy so as we had a standard to aim for when we tidied.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is lovely! (I think I may have a little kitchen envy..)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely evening!
Sarah xx
Have always loved your kitchen. I love the simplicity of it and that butler sink - sigh... something I dream of for mine in future.
ReplyDeleteoh Tania...I am so envious of your kitchen (and how tidy you got it btw!)I would so love one of those sinks....and that bench space....and that lovely atmosphere...no wonder you produce so many wonderful creations!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us x
I love the new/oldness you have created ~ what a beautiful space, and I also spy a pretty tea towel (wink, wink)!
ReplyDeleteI l-o-v-e your kitchen (and house). Out of interest, when you first planned to build your house - where did you begin?
ReplyDeleteHi Tanya I see thrift shopping is the key to your life lovely warmth nice slash of colours .
ReplyDeleteLinda
O-M-G. He is so ridiculously cute!! (As I've probably said too many times already...) Lovely to explore your neighbourhood, particularly with no plan in mind, love the idea. I *should* get out and about more with my two, especially now the bub is happier in the pram (and may even have a nap...) xx lucy
ReplyDeletehaha! Sorry Tania, I clicked on the comment section on the dear molly blog but I must have still had yours open... oops! Ignore my last comment (the first one was for you obviously!) embarrassing... love the internet... xxx
ReplyDeleteYou have created such a nice space with your kitchen. Love the mix of new and old.
ReplyDeletex
I thing it's lovely! And yes, I know what you mean about the kitchen always being used and rarely tidy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Your kitchen is beyond lovely. (Especially that oven! And that sink!) Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteHi motherwho - haha no worries :) I added a link above to an old post on how we built the house.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is lovely Tania, so big and open and I actually really love your butler sink:)xx
ReplyDeleteHi Tania, Your kitchen looks gorgeous! We're moving into our new house next week and will eventually be redoing the kitchen. I was just wondering what type of oven you have, I really like the look of it. Thanks, Megan.
ReplyDeleteHi Megan, Our oven is an old double door St George that we found on ebay.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a kitchen! I just swooned a little bit!
