Making Do

Step into my kitchen and step back in time. With it's 70s tiles and mock wood cupboards it's kitsch to the nth degree. I would love to get the whole kitchen ripped out and a new glossy number installed but we're going to need to save for a couple of years before we can even consider such a project. But for now, a touch of pink has given my kitsch kitchen a new lease of life and brought a little sunshine into what was a dilapidated room.

Good Grub in Wincheslea

Last weekend we paid a visit to the delightful Winchelsea Farm Kitchen which is about a 15 minute drive from where we live and is most definitely worth the pleasant road trip.

Enjoy a bit of tea and cake in the conservatory before shopping for your local, fine produce. If you like a good sausage (wink), they have a super tasty selection and their wine cellar is the perfect place to get yourself a decent bottle.

I'm a sucker for nice food packaging and pretty foods are in their abundance here. I also loved their tiled floor in the cafe area which is going in my inspiration file for my new kitchen for sure!

If you fancy a nice drive through the country, this is the perfect place to stock up on good, local tasty grub. Yum!

Pretty in Pink

In my search for some kitchen inspiration yesterday I came across the lovely work of Photographer Dominic Blackmore. I love how this simple white kitchen is brought to life. The use of vibrant pink teamed with the moorish tiles gives a creative yet elegant look and the juxtaposition of the modern dining table with the old bistro chairs oozes eclectic charm. Another one for my kitchen moodboard!
