Cheerful Red For the Kitchen

If you've stopped by often enough over the years I'm sure you recall how much I adore the color combo of red and white.

It always looks so pretty and fresh to me.

My favorite room in the house to use them together is in the kitchen.

When I gave the kitchen a makeover a while back,  I loved the pops of red against all the fresh new white.  Bits of black served as a accent color.

Not much has change since.

The urge to change things up a bit and add more red came not long after I shared with you the two quilt blocks that I'd framed to hang in the kitchen.

I needed MORE Red!

So I've been playing with new displays . . . 

Keeping just touches of black here and there, like the photo frames, to keep the an accent color going and tie in with the hardware on the cabinet doors.

The red is working it's magic!
The space feels brand new and fresh.
So of course I looked for more ways to add even more red.

A touch on the small shelf over by my workstation.

This red tin was a recent find that add's that "pop" I'm looking for!

Along with this vintage postcard I've had for years, the two add just the right touch of red to this corner of the kitchen.

Over by the sink, I've kept the red striped valance that I made from Ikea dishtowels and added a new rug to the floor.

Found this beauty at Target and fell for it hard and fast!

On the windowsill behind the sink I've kept the arrangement I put together for Heart Day until I can come up with something else I like.

The final area I'd like to give a new look to is the open cupboards over my the range.

Back at the time of the makeover it looked like this.

It hasn't change much since other than the decorative items have been replace with more everyday items.

I'm currently on the look out for some serving dished and platters with a red and white theme.

I think that would be the perfect final touch to this space.

Hope you all have a great day.
