Marnin girls! It's Saturday and I'm all caffeined up, waiting for Steve-O to get here to install my beadboard paneling. Still no stamping to show, but I thought I'd show you the progress on the red kitchen. It's coming along nicely! I was going to go all GIRLY on the chandelier, but decided on a brushed nickel kitchen-y look instead. I resisted the temptation to go all roses & shabby-chic to help the resale value of the house!
All of my red stuff is sitting around patiently waiting to be put back in it's place.
I was excited to see in Country Living that the hot new collectible is kitchen dishtowels. You can usually get them for under $10.00. (.50 cents if you're me!) I've collected these for years and always keep my eye open for the red ones!
My favorite one is this sweet cherry towel!
My everyday china is this vintage restaurant-wear. The dishes are indestructible and RED of course! I got the whole stack of plates, bowls and cups & saucers for $15.00 at a garage sale up by the cabin years ago.
These sweet aprons have been hanging around my kitchen for years. I wear them. NOT!!! I would wear them if I actually knew how to cook. Really! (okay, NOT)

Oh I just LOVE all the red Lisa!! Wish I was brave enough to do my kitchen in red!!! I played it safe with yellow.
I have several old "red" floral linen table clothes from my mother & MIL's stash and truly cherish them!!!
The paint looks really good! I love your collection of dishtowels and aprons. I have a yearning for old aprons! Gotta love them (not wear them--just love:)
Hi, Lisa, I'm Holly and this is my first time here! ♥ I love all your red stuff. I can't wait to see your kitchen when it is all done. I have a red Yellow and White kitchen but I hope to add more Red as time goes by.
