White Lace and PromisesMarch 18, 2014 at 4:43 PM
Love what you did! I absolutely adore the china. Is it Blue Ridge? If you know me, you know that the pink causes my heart to go pitter patter. I do am ready to brighten things up a bit. I'm basically a person who loves white and neutrals everywhere, but this winter I've seen a bit much of that even in Georgia. So I'm gonna be adding a bit of color-just a bit. Your kitchen looks so refreshing.

It is Franciscan "Desert Rose And Franciscan "Ivy." The pink is Hazel Atlas "Pink Crinoline" and the creamware is Wedgwood "Queen's Plain." I like to use color, especially lighter retro-inspired pinks and blues right now. I change it up though. Thank you--I appreciate that very much:-)

LUV the curtains. I made a simple muslin one for under my sink in the kitchen and laundry room. But once I hung it, I was not happy. Seeing yours, I now know what I want.. the little ruffle and bit of lace. a must enough to make it special. Thanks Anita.

Oh Gee, thank you:-) I went back and forth with the muslin, and once I remembered the nightgown, I really thought that would work. I even ironed it so it would look as if it had been starched then folded and put away.

That is beautiful Anita. Way easier than have to sew from scratch too. I would love for you to share on my Chic By You Link Party @ http://chicbytab.blogspot.ca/2014/03/chic-by-you-wednesday-link-party-4.html. Hope to see you there!

Thanks Tabatha! I did make it from scratch though, including the gathered ruffles like a dressmaker would. I used muslin and vintage lace.

Blessings to you, Anita. Spring is here in Kansas and I am soooooo ready for milder temps that I could cry. Your Kitchen sink area looks sweet and appreciated seeing what you have done. The muslin is a favorite of mine. Years ago I sewed bedroom curtains out of muslin. Always loved it. I need to get back to sewing and enjoying the results.

Simply Gorgeous! I love the ruffles and lace. Looks amazing against your cabinets.

I absolutely LOVE those. The close up shot is my favorite. Muslin is a favorite of mine. I guess that's because it was one of mom's favorite textiles as well. As usual, I leave your kitchen feeling all warm and happy.

Your kitchen is absolutely beautiful. I love the colors, the vintage pieces, and your new sink skirt and curtains. All just perfect! It really could be on the cover of a magazine. Well done. -Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com

Lovely! Quick question: Seeing how you have that sink in a kitchen cabinet, how did you attach the sink skirt? Did you add a curtain rod?

Anita DiazAugust 6, 2014 at 7:44 AM
Yes, I just attached a curtain rod with nails actually, so it would fit flush against the cabinet. The nails are at an angle so it fits snug. Maybe there is a piece of hardware for that, but I just used what I had here and it has worked well, and you can't see the nails.

Glad to hear that you are thinking spring. We are heading to WNC on Saturday and look forward to seeing some nice weather and those gorgeous spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks you!! Hopefully the weather will be good! You know this time of year it might be snowing one day and sunny the next.
DeleteA little snow is fine... I just don't like the kind that stays for days.
DeleteYour new sink skirt is so sweet and so nice that you used family fabric for it.
See you soon.
Anita,
ReplyDeleteYour spring spruce up is beautiful! Pink and green is one of my favorite color combinations and you have just the right touch of it in you new look. Somehow, I always seem to go a little pin crazy when I come over to your blog. I think I have pinned your kitchen with several different looks and I never tire of seeing it!
Oh Lynn, thank you so much:-) I enjoy changing things around a little too much maybe, but that's how I keep my small space so it feels new.
