Dreaming...

of catnip...

dog treats...
or perhaps a kitchen remodel!
This is the kitchen at Terra Cottage.

The oak cabinets are original although the ceiling treatment, light fixture, tile floor, and gingerbread trim on the cabinets have been added over the years.

This kitchen was featured in the March 2005 Romantic Homes magazine.

It's my dream kitchen.

I like everything about it:).

And so I decided it was time to redo the kitchen at Terra Cottage. Mind you I can't afford to remodel it but instead decided to make a few changes. First I needed an inspiration piece which is exactly what I found while antiquing in Atlanta over spring break.

The square platter was purchased at an antique mall and as soon as I saw it I had my inspiration.

I have long admired the beautiful brown and white transferware...

as well as the lovely shades of creams and sepia tones.

The vintage iron lantern was a steal at $5 and will be used as a candle chandelier with some crystal dangles added for a bit of sparkle.

The brown and white transferware was found at Scotland Yard Antiques mall and was all marked 50% off.

And so my vision for the kitchen began to materialize.

I am going to paint the cabinets the same creamy color as those in the magazine article.

The transferware will grace the open sections on top of the cabinets.

While visiting one of my favorite thrift shops recently I found these candle holders in shades of cream and brown.

I also found this transferware plate for .50 cents and the creamy square platter for $2.50.

So there it is-my dreams for my new kitchen decor.

I hope to start sanding my cabinets soon.

Any decorating dreams in your life?
