Vintage Charm



.




I just adore these beautiful kitchens. The choice of simple fittings - curtained and hand-painted cupboards, open shelves, scrubbed tables, wooden and terracotta tiled floors - would inspire even the most reluctant chef!

    These are the rooms that I want to see, Leigh. Attainable, unpretentious, lovely rooms...I love all of these kitches and could replicate them in my own home. XXXX

    Hi Leigh, I agree with Simone, that first picture is divine. I guess I wouldn't be theoldboathouse if I didn't swoon when I see model boats as wonderful as those and the simple aluminium t-pots and pans look so effective all grouped and bundled together, cheers Katherine
