On August 30 in my post {Our Kitchen Improvements} I did promise to show you more of our kitchen, so here it is... When we bought our property we were looking for a lot with sun in the back of the house, south side for the afternoon. That also meant that our bay window area would have morning sun as it is facing east. We never did regret this—as it is the most joyful start of the day for having breakfast in the sun!
Husband Pieter did make the design of our home and we had it custom build by a local contractor.
Seen here also are our IKEA Nordmyra chairs.
You have seen my hand crocheted curtains before in my post about {Our White Ceramic Chandeliers from Italy} also in this post about {Giovanni Raspini Silver Christmas Balls} and in this post {French Floral Pillow Set and our Gazebo}. Oh and also here: {My Old-Time Spun Glass Halloween Ornaments}...

Well deserved recognition! It is so true. Miele is available at Miele USA.
See how those two Gardena scissors are hung from three chrome knobs.

What a beautiful kitchen, Mariette. So bright, so clean... I can't help wondering if you have a dog?! There is NO WAY I could keep white floors so clean with my big yellow dog Hailey :0) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteHello Mariette
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is so fresh and beautifully fitted. I really like the cabinets with their profiled doors: just the look I would like. Then, the white-tiled floor brings it all together.
Breakfast, looking over the garden, must be a calming start to any day.
Anna
Cara Mariette, la tua cucina è bellissima...molto luminosa e arredata divinamente..stupende le tendine a uncinetto!!! Una carezza al micetto e un abbraccio a te!!! Anna.
ReplyDeleteMariette
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for taking the time to visit and most of all comment.
Love your beautiful white Swedish Nordic feel to all the white :) It truly is a kitchen for you to love!
About now I try to feature the holiday art in etsy shops off and on all the way to December, last year I started to late in November and could not get the custom orders or the product out on time.
My signs were few last year and the demand was big so through the year I finished those orders and shipped them out to have extras this year for first come first serve :)
We are dealing with the heat here in California as well, you must be looking forward to the cold season giving you a break from all the heat.
I am now your follower and will enjoy all that you share.

ReplyDeleteVorrei venirmi a prendere un caffè nella tua cucina ed ammirare la tendina all'uncinetto e il tuo bel frigorifero che è tutto ben ordinato all'interno.Ti auguro una bella nuova ultima settimana di settembre,bacioni,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteWat een mooie keuken....zo netjes ook en schoon en opgeruimd !!...pfffff......keurig !!....zoals het hoort.......ik ga even wat doen hier......kan nu niet meer achter blijven.......liefs fijne week van mij...xxx...
ReplyDeleteMariette, eure Küche ist das reine Schmuckstück. Vor allen Dingen der Ausblick in den Garten ist wunderschön.
ReplyDeleteMiele ist eine hervorragende Marke. Ich habe sie auch schon seit Jahrzehnten.
Einen sonnigen, guten Wochenbeginn wünscht dir

Oh my dear friend Mariette, your kitchen is wonderfully spacious and inviting - with the beautiful view of outside. I love the little details that you have added - such as the chrome knobs for the scissors; and the tassels on the pulls of the buffet doors. The crocheted rose curtains are perfect! They add a wonderful warm touch without taking away from the gorgeous outdoor view.
ReplyDeleteTiggy-Tiger looks perfectly comfortable enjoying his food/water in the natural light filled kitchen. Wonderful place for sitting enjoying cup of tea/coffee at the table.
Thank you so much for adding the Art of Letter Writing button to your side bar. Writing has helped me so much; and this is my way of giving back and trying to encourage others to keep writing by hand. Wishing you a beautiful and blessed week my dearest, xo HHL
Liebe Marietta,
ReplyDeleteohh, was hast du für eine helle , schöne Küche !! Gefällt mir sehr gut un d am besetn der Blick in den Kühlsschranke und euer Tiggy-Tiger...
Dir wünsche ich eine wundervolle Woche,
Sanne
Hoi Mariette,
ReplyDeleteIk heb het de vorige keer volgens mij ook al gezegd, maar wat hebben jullie een heerlijke ruime keuken! Dat moet fijn zijn om in te koken. Ook de grote raampartij is een groot voordeel. Niet slecht om 's ochtends aan de tafel je boterhammetje op te eten met uitzicht over de tuin :-)!
Madelief x
just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would love having my breakfast in that lovely area and your curtains are simply exquisite!
Love the scissor idea and of course no kitchen is complete unless it has a kitty!
Deine Küche sieht wundervoll aus!!! Und ich liebe Deine selbstgehäkelten Vorhänge!! Super gemacht!
ReplyDeleteViele liebe herzliche Grüße!
Gabriella
Hola dear Mariette, your kitchen is so, so great, really love it!!!
ReplyDeletehugs dear
Oh, such nice ideas. Your kitchen is very bright and lively. I love that refrigerater.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the clean crisp white of your kitchen!!!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteeine wunderschöne Küche hast du. Der Erker ist einsame Spitze. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dort bei einer Tasse Tee oder Kaffee zu sitzen und einfach nur aus dem Fenster zu sehen.
Mir war nicht bewusst, dass Miele international ist. Wieder etwas gelernt.
Außerdem möchte ich mich bei dir für deinen lieben Kommentar auf meinem Blog bedanken.
Ich wünsche dir eine gute Woche.
Viele Grüße von Karin
Oh my gosh! I wouldn't dare show you the inside of my fridge. No matter how hard I try, just can't seem to keep it organized. And my cabinets are quite cluttered. Your kitchen is clean and organized and clutter-free. :) Have a great week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteLiebe Mariette,
ReplyDelete...die Küche gefällt mir sehr gut, besonders der hübsche Essplatz ist sehr gemütlich!
Aber auch mit Geräten und Schränken bist Du gut ausgestattet, so dass Dir die Arbeit "leicht" von der Hand geht!
Eine schöne neue Woche wünsche ich Dir und lasse liebe Grüße hier!

Thank you for inviting us into your lovely home ! It's always such fun to have a peek at someone else's house!! How tidy indeed and super clean..!! I love the windows and of course the crocheted curtains are a master piece of skill and patience.
ReplyDeleteLove to you, Pieter and all your lovely cats .
Bea
Dearest Mariette,
