Vintage Inspiration Friday

I was trying to decide on one thing to share for Vintage Inspiration Friday with Debra at Common Ground and Show and Tell Friday with Cindy at My Romantic Home.  I was having a hard time narrowing it down and my wanderings kept bringing me back to my kitchen. 

My kitchen is full of Vintage, from the farm house sink to the mantel over the dinning room door.

When we decided to build our home as newlyweds, I wanted an older home but my husband wanted to use land he had inherited.  In a compromise we agreed to build a new house that felt like and older home with updated features.

  It just shows you that just because it is a new home, it does not mean it has to look it. 

Our kitchen is my favorite room in the house.  The kitchen is located in the back of the house and is visible from each door entrance.  

I think our kitchen is full of vintage inspirations.

WELCOME to my kitchen!

This is the view as you walk in from our side entrance mud room.

 

This island is the pride and joy of our kitchen.  It is the main piece of furniture you see when you walk in the room.  We had this custom made by a gentleman whom made furniture as a hobby.  He did an amazing job!  He even made the legs by hand.  For him the hardest part was distressing it to fit with our kitchen cabinets.  We use this island for anything and everything from buffets to crafts for the holidays. 

This is the view of the kitchen from the Front door.

These are the stripes I talked about in my previous post about painting.

How do you like our old fashion phone? 

Mr. M. says we have to keep it because sometimes it is the only phone he can find. 

 He has a wonderful sense of humor.

I love using vintage furniture. 

This is actually a dresser that holds extra kitchen supplies.

 

This is part of what you see when you come in off the back deck.

This is the mirror over my kitchen table and one of my favorite quotes in the house.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Make sure you stop by Common Ground and My Romantic Home, you never know where your next inspiration may come from.
