Cool Kitchen: Red n’ Retro

Hello, and Happy Tuesday to you! I was away yesterday at a freelance job, which may end up eating up some other days this week, too. But I’m here now, and have another cool kitchen from The Kitchn that I’d like to share.

Matt and Blair’s Fresh Retro Kitchen caught my eye when it was posted back in April. The colour scheme of red, aqua, black and white is pure retro, but looks fresh to the modern eye. The other details have the same classic-but-current vibe; the white goods, gorgeous original sink, and cheerful patterned curtains. The fact that this space is flooded with light is the icing on the cake.

For more photos, Matt and Blair blogged the complete renovation of their house at Tulane Rehab.

Etsy find of the day: Chopstick bowl

My love of pottery was instilled in me by my Mum, who dragged me to various art shows and artists’ studios as a child. I even took several years of Saturday-morning pottery classes, but I never made anything as nice as this:

From Etsy seller MSPottery, this Chopstick bowl is on sale, and I think it’s the perfect mix of modern and traditional. I wish my own fried rice moments looked this good!

Kitchen trend: vintage aqua jars

These vintage Mason jars look great on a sunny windowsill… no wonder they’re popping up all over Flickr.
