The domino effect continues…..
into the kitchen!
-------
-------
It all started with a white ironstone bowl I had tucked away.
I decided it would be perfect in the
kitchen holding apples.
-------
-------
Of course changing things in
one corner of the kitchen meant changing all the
accessories in the kitchen!
-------
-------
After I had everything arranged just the way
I liked it I decided to take
a few pictures to share with all of you!
There I sat in front of my computer screen anticipating
beautiful pictures but instead all I could see is the
wall color that I never really loved!
On a whim I decided to repaint the kitchen the same
color as the dining room.
-------
-------
I get asked a lot why I never show the other side of the kitchen.
The truth is,
my kitchen is really small
and the other side is not very interesting!
Here is the other side……

Looking down the hallway towards
the powder room……

Des, small but packed with pretty. Love the bowl of apples. Olive
You have a great knack for accessorizing!
LOVE LOVE your kitchen Des!! So pretty!
Beautiful kitchen! Love that kitchen faucet.....
I think your kitchen is full of charm! Sometimes the bigger kitchens lose that. The old fashioned kitchens from years ago were all small. So.....your kitchen fits in perfectly with your historic home. I would embrace it, really.
Des, what a beautiful kitchen! I just love all of your accents. Funny how a bowl of apples can make you repaint a whole kitchen...lol!! It is absolutely gorgeous!
Now that I think of it, the only place you see a big kitchen is in those McMansions, which, don't get me wrong, I love them, but older home just don't seem to have big kitchens. I know I don't! Yours is so pretty, who would notice! And how do you keep your counters so uncluttered?!
Love that pretty bowl and your baker's rack is gorgeous!
XO,
Jane
Beautiful Des! Just gorgeous from every angle!
Your kitchen is beautiful!!!!!! LOVE that bling above your sink too!

Your kitchen looks so nice. Love the little chandy over the sink and I love the skirt on your powder room sink that I spied.
Des~
how funny that your blog is showing me ads for turtle shells!! LOL
Looks great. What is the new color?? and I need a new faucet. will you telling if you like it and the brand make me want to change up my entire kitchen??
Your kitchen is beautiful! I love the chandy over the sink too! XO, Pinky

I love your kitchen....it's beautiful.

Oh boy - I could tell you a thing or two about the domino effect. LOL I think we all could. Your kitchen may be small but oh boy is is packed with lots of punch. I love that granite and also your backsplash tile. The paint color could not be more perfect. Oh yea, the pretty bowl of green apples is nice too. :)
Des, Your kitchen is beautiful! Love the detail on your cabinets.
Looks awesome...thanks for sharing!!
Love your kitchen as always Des!!
I think the crown molding really sets off those cupboards.
Well, the dominoes fell in the right place - your kitchen is gorgeous! Love everything about it.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Over from Savvy Southern Style. Your kitchen is just so lovely. I love the black hardware. Please stop over and visit when you have a chance.
Your kitchen is absolutely gorgeous!!

Beautiful kitchen, love the hardware too! ? I have the same curtain as you how do you get it folded like that, it really looks so pretty, I just washed mine and have them hanging straight for now, I don't want to mess with them for fear of wrinkling them.
Thanks, have a great evening!

wow, absolutely Beautiful !! I am in love with the chandelier over the sink.
Your kitchen is beautiful! I love the details on the cabinetry and I definitely know all about that domino effect! :) My to do list just keeps getting bigger. Love these pics! Definitely has inspired me to do a few things in my kitchen.
Goodness, what a beautiful kitchen you have! I love all of the finishes you chose...so elegant!
Blessings,
Leslie
Soo pretty Des!! I love it:)
I LOVE your kitchen!
Your kitchen is absolutely beautiful! I love all the special touches! There are a few that I'm going to incorporate into mine, one of them being the towel rack on the end base cabinet! If you did want to change something on the other side, you could replace the two doors above the refrigerator to glass and display some pretty things there as well. But if you're like me, you might need that space to hide some of the not so pretty things that you need in the kitchen! LOL! Oh, I'm going to now follow your lovely blog and am starting to pin!
so gorgeous, love that window and chandy!!
So pretty!
Your kitchen is lovely, Deserae. You are so right, one little thing can have a snow-balling effect on me, too. I am now a new follower and hope you will follow back.

Your kitchen is beautiful including the other corner. I love it.
Your kitchen is beautiful! Love the chandy and the ironstone bowl of apples. Just lovely. Thank you for sharing. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House which goes live at 8am CST on Monday. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com Hope to see you at the bash! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Well that's just the proof I needed that small kitchens can be dream kitchens - mine is itsy bitsy - probably much smaller than yours ( 100 year old houses didn't have big kitchens ) your kitchen is filled to the brim with inspiration!
Hugs,
Suzan
its gorgeous!!!!!
I am so happy I discovered your blog! It is just beautiful! I love your kitchen, and I love your window treatment in there too! I hope you can visit me on my blog when you get a chance. I look forward to your upcoming posts.
Your kitchen is one of the most beautiful kitchens I've ever seen, right down to the smallest detail! I love the chandy over the sink, the door handles and really EVERYTHING!!
Would you mind sharing with us the name and brand of the wall color? I love it and have been looking for a more neutral color for my kitchen and dining room, too.
Thanks for such a lovely post and blog.

So pretty! Love white kitchens - they are just so crisp and inviting. Beautiful job.
Your kitchen may be small, but it's packed full of beauty...LOVE it!
I am now following you!
Love the chandy over the kitchen sink!
You have the most adorable kitchen with major attention to detail. I love, love it and you are blessed with a hubby that can do what he did. Can we see the ceiling? I caught a glimpse at some kind of ceiling tin in the hall leading to the bathroom...just curious.
Des, I LOVE your kitchen. LOVE!!!!!!!!!
Hi Des,
I stumbled across your lovely blog for the first time today, and I must say I'm not a white kitchen kinda girl but I'm in love with your kitchen. I absolutely love the feet you added to the cabinets...they are adorable! As a newbie DIY'er & Blogger...I plan to follow you because you are an inspiration!

I found you on Pinterest and I am so glad I did! What a beautiful kitchen! We are restoring an 1893 farmhouse and bogging about our journey too. We ripped out the tiny crusty 50s/70s/80s kitchen and are looking for inspiration. Thank you for sharing your heart and home with us. Love it, Sara Jo Floyd
I love the chandelier, do you remember the name and where you got it. Oh, your kitchen is beautiful.
