This morning I made a post about this apron I made.

So, here's a post showing off the curtains and stuff I have to match in my kitchen. It's picture-heavy!

Here's the Roman blind I made for the window over the sink:

Here's the Austrian shade and valance I made for the window over the breakfast nook:

The valance I made for the back door; the yellow sheers were already in place.

A few of the dishcloths I've knitted to match:

Here's the lower cabinets after the DH painted. I painted the design on the kickboard before he put it up. We deliberately got different drawer knobs, just for fun.

Upper cabinets over the stove:

This shows the back wall. I painted the blue shelf, and want to put some more things up on this wall. The counter where the microwave and toaster oven are is a movable island that came with us from our old house in Mississippi.

Just for comparison, a few "before" shots, taken right after we moved in:

You will notice we also have replaced the countertops-- they had really OLD white-with-gold-flecks Formica before. The one thing I want to do to the kitchen next is to put up a tile backsplash on the sink wall.

Nice! The kitchen is so much brighter and the curtains are lovely.

I like your kitchen a lot. I especially love the white shelfy-thing that straddles the sink (that the yellow bowl of tomatoes is on). What a clever use of space.

Thanks! I might show that to my mom.

Love your knitted towels, too, BTW!

Everything is so bright and cheerful, and there is such a personal touch about everything, especially compared to what it was when you moved in. It is much how I think of you, though we've never met.

What a lovely kitchen! Painting the cabinets really made a huge difference, didn't it. You've done a lot of work but it was well worth it to have such a pretty space. :)

It's a beautiful kitchen! You've brightened it up a lot. And I love the fabrics you used; I have a weakness for yellow and blue... :)

Lovely, Dreamflower. There's a lot of love and hard work gone into your kitchen. :) It looks like a spring morning with those colours. :)
