Hey everyone!
I want to talk for a minute on what's up with Whiskey Doodle. This week I've been super rushed, and trying to accomplish a hundred different things. So, expect way more content and less just photos and prices. Not every week will be the same, and some weeks will be completely off the wall. As Jared and I BOTH have today off, and will be spending it at the laundry mat (conveniently also his grandma's house, haha!) and i will be drawing some serious plans for the upcoming weeks. So, continue to read through this slouch of laziness. Today should be a bit better for you, I hope.
DESIGNNINNGG!
Anybody with a little excitement in their bones can't stand looking at white walls, towels, and everything plain. Today, because the week theme is Strawberry, we're going to design the Kitchen.
The Kitchen is a room full of appliances, and some very big expenses so remodeling can get really costly. Sprucing up the walls with a nice color paint, and a quaint theme can put your eyes at ease. The key is to know what your needs are. I'm very big into color as well, so white kitchens are a must not for me. Better Home's has an awesome program that lets you see and test out a perfect kitchen palette; check that out here.
Other important decoration points;
Windows. It's the summertime! I don't have to tell you that though. There are tons of fun activities, flowers blooming, bees buzzing and birds a-humming, that you're going to want to see outside your windows while washing those dishes. Take down your curtains, and spruce your window up with a cute strawberry fabric in the form of a valance!
Ohhh, that smell. Aroma is very important in the kitchen, and with a wide variety of strawberry candles, incense, etc. you'll be good to go. Here is a beautiful soy candle on Etsy, and of course there are tons of them to look through if you just search.
Cabinets. There are many ways to spruce up a cabinet and not rip the whole thing down. There are loads of adorable knobs all over; here is one for our theme. You can almost find any kind of knob you want. You can also line it with cute contact paper like this.
Below are some cute items that I dug up for you guys.
Other ideas you want to keep in mind is this theme is very country. So, if you wanted to stick with this theme, you could also use country artifacts to blend in with the strawberry collection.
In addition to all of the above, here are a few other ideas for you to spruce up with your strawberry theme. You can get some chair covers, matching magnets, teapots, cups, dish sets, and more. Top this with a nice warm strawberry rug to dig your toes into and you'll be looking at a mighty fine, mighty strawberry kitchen!
Let's face it. Designing strawberry kitchens isn't the chic of chic, but there are some very cute products that can put a splash of summer into your winter as well. Not into the whole theme? Think about grabbing a cute drainer like pictured above.
See you guys tomorrow!
I'm going to show you what I've been working on and show you how to make a few interesting things! Personal crafts/tutorial day is going to be my favorite!
