Powdery pastel kitchen

I love the use of powdery pastels in Møbel Pøbel's renovated kitchen, they bring such a lovely fresh sense of spring and summer romance... The perfect place to make the gorgeous looking rose and yogurt biscuits!

Kitchen bird hooks update

When I saw the "Sugared Almonds" apron and oven gloves for just £3.87 each in Tesco, I couldn't refuse them at that price! I adore the mix of the pink polka dot print and the pretty cake stands stacked with pastel macaroons, adorable pink kettles, candy filled jars, and cute patterned cups. They are a perfect addition to my kitchen bird hooks.




Another addition to my bird house kitchen hooks is the pretty pink heart colander from Miniamo which my niece Molly gave to me for my birthday back in January.

Spring Pastels

Source 1,2,3,4

Last week I went to the Top Drawer interior show at Earl's Court in London. It was full of great stands full of all the new Spring products hitting the stores soon. I especially loved the abundance of soft, chalky pastel colours for every room in the house!

So this week on Inspirational Pins I wanted to share with you my current fave pastel interior shots from my Pinterest boards. From the gorgeous striped feature wall and pretty floral cushions in the living room to the stack of candy striped tins adorned with birds and fauna. A pastel pink Smeg fridge and lavender oven set against duck egg blue units and, last but not least, the candy coloured crockery set hanging on the wall.

Whimsical Kitchen sink ideas

Country kitchen sink

Last Friday in my new series of posts, "Friday Finds", I shared with you some of my whimsical kitchen ideas for around my new sink area. Having started to go through all my interior magazine tears in an effort to organize myself, I thought I would share with you today some of my favorite images for sink areas.

My absolute favourite image is the first one. I would love to put a pretty print tray behind my sink, but as we have a window directly behind it, unfortunately there's no chance! But there is room for an indoor plant and perhaps some herbs.

Roberts Radio RD60 DAB Digital Radio in Duck Egg

Ever noticed how some of the best dressed kitchens have Roberts radios in them? I have. I couldn't believe it when I looked into Roberts radios and found that they have just launched new Spring colours; among them is the gorgeous duck egg blue! It is also the first eco-friendly retro style digital radio they have produced, with a battery life of around 120 hours. As you know, duck egg blue is going to be the highlight colour in my new kitchen so I couldn't resist ordering one for the window sill.

I love pretty storage jars, so in my new kitchen I am going to treat myself to some blue Nigella Lawson jars to sit on the side to hold my sugar and tea bags.

In my baking ingredients cupboard I am going to add pink! For my birthday, I got given a pink Nigella Lawson jar in which I am going to keep my gluten-free flour, and some of my other baking ingredients in the adorable flip storage jars from Jamie Oliver.

I just love duck egg blue and a lot of my kitchen items are in this delicious colour! As we have decided to go for white kitchen doors and drawers, white brick tiles and wooden worktops, we think we will paint the two long walls in a pale shade of duck egg blue to add colour. I also think it will work nicely against the duck egg blue jars, utensils and crockery etc. that will be sat on the wooden worktops and against the white tiles. The two smaller walls will be painted white.

I love the look of brick tiles. When we put a new bathroom in our house we tiled the walls with beveled edge white brick tiles. So, when it comes to choosing tiles for our new kitchen, I am pretty sure I will go for the same white brick tiles as our bathroom. I think it will look nice against wooden worktops and white doors and drawers.
