summer kitchen

I hope my next house is a barn... just a barn.  I want to park the Winnie next an old wood barn, and set up shop inside. My sewing area, the photo area, the make and paint area....the rustic kitchen, and hang a lot of white lace and burlap.
A few fruit trees outside and a big big garden full of all the heirlooms I've grown since childhood......white tomatoes, white carrots, gold beans,  red potatoes...... all the good stuff.

Rustic is the theme here.... old wood, white paint and stacks of crates....


white kitchen
simple, lots of white paint and industrial light...
 

blue kitchen
with a ceiling that slants down to meet a tile treatment....
 

and a white dining room with old school light fixtures...a built-in banquette with side chairs...

old wood, white paint and quirky lighting.....

rustic whitewashed wood, big green glass bottle and curly branches...  

rustic drawers covered in old wood wine crates....
