You, me and the kitchen sink

This is the last set of photos in the kitchen sink series.  We have some really interesting photos coming in for the new series so I think you'll like that too.

Today we have Pat's kitchen in Oregon.  She writes:
"I have enclosed some pictures of my kitchen in Corvallis, Oregon. As you can see, itt is a small kitchen, but one that I find to be efficient and cozy! I love chickens, but do not raise them. Luckily I tend to my friends flock when she is away."


Please don't forget to comment. A comment is like payment for the time taken to post, and in this case in sending in the photos.  Many of us were enthusiastic about this series, so make sure all the photos get a good number of comments.  I don't want any of the people sending in photos to regret joining in.  Thank you friends.

How very pretty! I love the chicken accents and your little lamp. Great view too!

Such a charming kitchen. I just love the red and white...it's so fresh a cheerful. I love it when kitchens have a good punch of color. You've done a wonderful job. Oh, and as for chickens...I also love them. I'm lucky enough to be raising 41 of them along with my husband.

Blessings,
Kimberlynn

I want to thank everyone who sent in photos of their kitchens.I think we all have really enjoyed seeing all the differences and also the similarities in the various kitchens!

Thanks Rhonda for starting this!! It is fun!

That a wonderful kitchen and much bigger than mine so I don't think it's small at all. I love your kitchen sink.

GretchenJoanna said...

I have only late in the day discovered the collection of sinks, but I love them! Your kitchen is warm and inviting--I especially like the wood or wood-tone counters, the coffee pot and lamp that make it seem cozy and ready for company.

Jill said...

You have a charming, warm and inviting kitchen, Pat. All of the personal touches (chickens) really appeal to me. The colours are splendid.

Oh what a pity! The end of the series... I'm having my new kitchen fitted this week and had planned to take lots of photos to send off.

Never mind, will look forward to the next series on whatever subject that may be on. This series has been fascinating.

Maggie said...

What a lovely kitchen. Wood and white is one of my favourites. It looks warm and inviting, the view is lovely too.

Pat, I think we may have the same kitchen cabinets! They're certainly very similar. The red walls give your kitchen such warmth. And I like your nice big window over the sink, with such a pleasant view.

Beautiful wood and lovely colours and I just love all that bench space.

Beautiful! I love the colors and the chickens! I used to live in Corvallis (now in Sisters, OR) so this is especially near to my heart!

Heather's Blog-o-rama said...

What a wonderful series of photos. Pat...Thank you so much for sending these in. Rhonda, thank you for posting these.

This kitchen is small like mine. It's very warm and inviting, I wouldn't mind spending some time here witha cup of coffee etc. That's a great kitchen.

Oh, and to my delight I"m not the only Oregonian following this blog :) :) Now there's myself and one other lady named Pat with a beautiful kitchen :)

I'm excited to hear about the next series of photos you have planned.

Have a lovely week everyone :) I think my name is showing up under my blog...but my name is Heather :)..
Oh many greetings and hugs from Oregon. Sincerely, Heather H :) :)

I find it interesting after seeing all these kitchens that everyon thinks their kitchen is small, most of the ones in America are HUGE compared to Australia. All seem to be functional and pretty. I've loved this series and look forward to the next one Rhonda. Great idea!

Cathy said...

Lovely and very warm kitchen. It looks like the heart of your home. I love the teapots and chickens.

Kristi in the Western Reserve said...

A lovely kitchen. The combination of white cupboards and red walls and wooden looking countertop gives such a warm feeling. And lots of pretty personal things to make it feel lived in.

claudia said...

Your kitchen looks so inviting and comfy. The colors are fantastic...it looks clean and crisp.
You've given me some ideas for cabinets. I like the fresh white of yours.

hopflower said...

A very attractive kitchen and much bigger than mine. The view looks wonderful. I love the little shelf above the range with the teapots on it.

Love the red walls. You got me wondering if I should have gotten brave and did the red myself.

Thanks for sharing. ---Krystal

Janell Bakken said...

Lovely. The red walls are great and the whole kitchen just feels so inviting and homey.

ms lottie said...

Lucky last! And I love your wooden benchtops - there is something so comforting about wood surfaces.

Pen Pen said...

Very cozy! I love the large window area over your kitchen sink! I could spend a lot of time there.

Pat said...

Thank you for posting your pictures. I want to paint my kitchen red but just wasn't sure until I saw your pictures. It was love at first site!
My cabinets are wood grain and I collect Fiesta Ware so I think the red will be perfect.
