Collections in the Kitchen

 I love it when I am in a kitchen that feels as though it

could stand alone as a home.

You know that kitchen where you really feel you could quite simply...... live there?

Perhaps the addition of a daybed and the accessibility of a bathroom

would mean that you really don't need any more "home" than that.

It is one of those spaces that exude "warmth" and "comfort".....

maybe the only place 

you want to be for your morning coffee 

and your evening wine?

It  basically represents the epitome of home.

Last week I had supper in a kitchen that is just that.

I asked if I could share some aspects of this space

and fortuntely she said yes.....

so here you go.

A peek into a Montréal kitchen

but let me add in that I only had my iPhone camera which is extremely limited...

so, sorry about the quality of images.

Everywhere you look there are touches of blue and white pottery

cute little plates and interesting pieces of artwork....

Her collection of dishes is simply amazing....

 This piece, upper and lower were apparently found and saved from the garbage.

They then became the inspiration for the new kitchen cupboards below.

The new cupboards hold even more collections....

 Evey corner has little bowls and plates arranged just waiting to be used.

 at the back of the stove alone 

there are several little pottery pieces all coming from different parts of the world.

and around the corner just off the kitchen

is a wall with a history of the family that call this kitchen home.

 I wonder why new houses are not designing kitchens
this way... promoting them as the heart of the home?
