We have a lot of shop updating to do and photos to take...I have been feeling less than inspired by my wardrobe in these sweltering temps, so instead, I looked to a different inspiration: my kitchen!
Since becoming vegan, I've become a little obssessed with cooking, entertaining, and making my food (and plating) look pretty. Sometimes it's because I'm featuring the recipe on our blog, other times it's just for me. Q and I started collecting vintage pieces for our kitchen on our thrifting/antiquing adventures. I thought I'd share some of my favorites.
These are the pieces that started it all! Copper topped canisters in that perfect 50s blue, and a pink (!) breadbox w/copper front (where we keep snacks).
These pieces are especially useful for entertaining! At our wedding, we used a variety of vintage plates for the place settings, and I held on to a few of my favorites (bottom right) that I now use as serving plates.
I think I'm drawn to a specific color scheme (yellow/orange/lime green anyone?). I love entertaining w/ special glasses, a my evening cup of tea is just better in a vintage mug.
Who doesn't love a pretty Pyrex bowl? I use them as serving dishes and mixing bowls! I still want to add a few colors to my collection (and sizes), though Q says I have enough...
Since going vegan, I've also been doing other things to make our home greener--like using cloth napkins! I love these prints so much. And since we have used, scratched up hand-me-down kitchen and dining room tables, I love finding pretty vintage tablecloths to spruce them up when we're having company.
