Bistro de Morning T

While I've grown to like my kitchen, it's small and very outdated so you'll notice I don't post about it much.

After a few small changes over the weekend, I'm loving this wall in my kitchen ~ enough that I just had to share it with you.

Our kitchen is sandwiched in between the back sun room and the front dining room. This is the wall you see walking into the kitchen from the sun room.

I snagged this piece of nicely aging wood from my sister's backyard a few weeks ago.
Remember my post here about an inspiration piece I saw at a store in Calgary? I made this kitchen bistro sign over the weekend to mimic the cool box {image below} I saw in Calgary.

This chic and rustic kitchen sign also inspired me {Brooke Gianetti's home} ;

We have NO storage space in our kitchen {think 1 small pantry, 3 under and 3 upper cabinets with 4 way too high up to reach cabinets.}, so my wrought iron bakers rack is a must for extra 'stuff' that won't fit into cupboards. I initially displayed my Nambe and pewter collection here.

I've been hanging on to this inspiration photo of Kay O'Toole's kitchen (via Cote de Texas) and after shopping my own cupboards, my kitchen rack is now more neutral and white.

After a long run on Sunday, I sat at my little kitchen island and read your blogs while sipping coffee and glancing up at my new favorite kitchen wall. No chipped formica, drippy faucet, outdated appliances, or dented cabinets anywhere with this view.

I'm linking up to Kimba's DIY party today here.
