Brighten-up Your Kitchen for Autumn

Monday, September 19, 2011

Before all the autumn baking and preparations begin, why not add some color to your kitchen? I love white kitchens, but I also like bright accessories that pop. These are definitely on my Brighten-up My Kitchen Wish List:

I love the Susan G. Komen KitchenAid mixer from Williams-Sonoma.

The After My Own Heart spice rack from Mod Cloth is so cheerful it would make any baking chore fun.

I have always wanted a Dualit toaster, and this color is so pretty.

Of course I had to visit my mother ship for inspiration! These pie bird salt and pepper shakers from MacKenzie-Childs are so cute with their bright yellow bills.

Don't you know I love this artist's palette egg tray from Anthropologie.

This apron from Pier 1 is too, too cute!

Ummmmmm......NO. Not even for a Nespresso.....

.....but I do like the Nespresso Pixie in lime green.

Would you like any of these bright kitchen accessories in your kitchen? I might need the egg tray. It would be great for serving deviled eggs, don't you think?

Until next time...

Blessings!

Ricki Jill

AND, EVERYbody needs a hot pink standing mixer.:)

The little black and white frame is just a frame but it made a fun post. :)

If I have to be in the kitchen I have to have color.
My kitchen is filled with colors of Autumn all year round.
It makes me feel cozy.
But I would love a bright pink mixer too :)

Yes!! Totally a deviled egg tray, and it is so you!!! I have one, and I might want to use paint that is ok for a plate to make it look like that~!
Of course, I have to find it!!!

Oh that toaster is divine. Have a great week. Funeral today so I am sort of taking it easy. Quinn has her first ballet class this morning though so that should be sweet if not down right funny.

The egg tray would be great for deviled eggs, which I love! I also love the s&p shackers too!

Thanks for showing us these really colorful products!

Very cute colors-love the apron.

I have to show those Nespressos to my daughter. She just bought one for her new flat. She had had one when she lived in Switzerland and was longing for one ever since she moved back to the states. We found one last month for half price in the color she wanted (gunmetal) and bought it on the spot! I'm not sure she would go for the jeweled ones either. Just a bit OTT!!!
I just found your blog through Sarah at Hyacinths for the Soul. I added you to my Google Reader.

Great pops of color. I love the toaster and the mixer.

I would love any of them, especially that hot pink mixer!

I love all these brightly colored items. I've been after a Dualit toaster for years...maybe one day.

Oh my- I may just NEED some bling with my caffeine now. When the girls were little and had their friends over all the time everyone called me the glitter queen because we wanted sparkly everything.

Love the bright colors- I go in stages, I had a red kitchen then a blue one then a yellow with red accents and if we ever get to it it will be a moonlit walls/dark dark counters and fiesta colored accessories.
AliciaSeptember 19, 2011 at 10:31 PM

also, i wanted to tell you that you comment about my moving to asheville was super helpful. thanks so much for sharing. we know not ONE person there and have NEVER been there...so ya, i'm a little freaked. but just knowing that other people think it's a great place is such a good feeling. thank you :)

A colored toaster! Brilliant! :D

And that apron would be really easy to make. Ruffles are an easy and quick way to doll up an apron, so I'm a big fan. Hrm...that might make for a great Fall sewing project...

Yes, definitely think you should get that deviled egg plate & the pie birds salt & pepper -- so you! I actually have one of those cute aprons, but mine came from Kirkland's. It says "Perk Me Up" with a coffee cup theme & all those cute ruffles. I love wearing aprons when I cook.

They are pretty, but perhaps a bit too bright for my taste. I love the spice rack though.

I love that egg tray!! It's so colorful. My kitchen has a flare of red in it - tea pot and rooster. I think it's nicer to cook in a kitchen when you have a spash of color in there, ya know? That spice rack is adorable. Jess would love that.

I love the colors! I think the toaster is fun, but I keep mine in the cabinet. I got my mother-in-law's KitchenAid mixer...old and white, but I still love it. I always thought I'd get one of the colored ones, but in truth, I rarely use anything but my handmixer these days!
