"I'm Vickie from Sand Flat Farm in East Texas. I loved your idea of seeing everyone's kitchens. I know you're getting swamped with photos, but I still wanted to send mine. This is our 70+ year old farmhouse which we recently redid cottage style. Everything vintage from garage sales, hand-me-downs, estate sales, etc., went into our farmhouse. I do have a stainless sink that was put in several years ago, and we didn't change that. I'd love to have one of those big deep farm sinks someday.
The kitchen was DARK knotty pine and we took off the cabinet doors and painted everything a light green and yellow. Over my kitchen window, I took an old crocheted pillowcase from a garage sale and fashioned a little valance. I collect old pitchers, and I have lots of things from my grandmothers. (I did have to get me a new microwave & stove because the others were kaput!) I LOVE my kitchen and enjoy looking out the window at our farm while I'm cooking or washing up.
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 ladies sending in photos to regret joining in. Thank you friends.

ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest kitchen ever! I love the open shelving and the skirt. Absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I like the color scheme and the little table is sweet.
ReplyDeleteVickie, your kitchen is lovely! It's so full of old-fashioned charm. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love this sweet farmhouse kitchen. It makes me feel happy.

That is a terrific kitchen. I just love it. Rosanne from Dallas, TX
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute kitchen! I love the door-less cabinets and the color!
ReplyDeleteHello fellow Texan! I love it! Reminds me of my grandma's house! Love the open shelves :)
ReplyDeleteHow very fun! I love to read Vickie's blog and it was a great surprise to see her kitchen featured here!
ReplyDeleteHope your week is a lovely one...Rhonda!
Oh how pretty - I'm just working a little x-stitch project on Aida fabric JUST that colour green! What a charming kitchen you have, so feminine.
ReplyDeleteLovely kitchen Vickie....I really like the colors especially. You have done such a nice job of making it homey and charming and inviting.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note....thank-you Rhonda for this series and letting us peek into each others homes. It is so refreshing to see all the different and creative spaces that your readers are cooking in. After the boring sameness of what we see on cable tv, it is WONDERFUL to see such individuality.
Well what d'ya know, it's Vickie's kitchen! You know I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rhonda, for allowing us to share in all the kitchens.

I absolutely Love the green kitchen. I can tell you loveingly put it together! You should be proud,Vickie and Thanks to Rhonda for giving us a look at it!!
ReplyDeleteDonna
A beautiful colour! I love your pitcher collection, it looks great on those shelves, and you have a neat dining area too!
ReplyDeleteAre those SPOON handles on the lower cupboard doors? Adorable!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely kitchen! Thanks for sending the photos in for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVickie - that is so sweet and I adore the colours. Well done. You have created a really beautiful and inviting kitchen.
ReplyDeleteTracy (Brisbane)
Adorable! Love the spoon handles! :D
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the kitchen, and especially the spoon door handles and drawer pulls. How creative!
ReplyDeleteI love your painted cabinets. I have been wanting to paint my dark kitchen cabs for a while. Your beautiful kitchen I think has finally pushed me over the edge.
ReplyDeleteVickie, the kitchen is just beautiful! I love the color and it all came together just right.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about loving to look out at the farm as you do dishes. That is one of my favorite things, too.
Have a great day.

What a lovely kitchen Vicki.
ReplyDeleteI too love everything vintage.
i love your little kitchen and all the open shelving around the windows.
ReplyDeleteI love all the shelving surrounding the window! this would work really well in my kitchen. : )
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Your kitchen is just screaming out for a vintage Chambers Stove. You can find them in that mint green color. I found one in mint condition in a soft yellow and redid my kitchen to a yellow and blue theme. I love that stove, it cooks like a powerhouse and uses less fuel than traditional ovens. Here is my yellow baby, named "Mae" (people LOVE to name their Chambers)

I'll see if I can find a picture of a green one for you. It would be PERFECT!
--Lisa (who gets a little too excited about stuff like this) :-)
this is a super cute kitchen. i especially love your kitchen table!
ReplyDeleteI love this kitchen! The pitchers are so fun and colorful - and the idea of the crocheted pillowcase at the window is wonderful. Makes me wish I had a window in my (apartment) kitchen, so I could do something like that!
ReplyDeleteYes, I really like the spoons on the drawers and doors. I had seen some one time and thought that was just what was needed in our church kitchen. One drawer is for forks, one for spoons, and one for knives.. You never get the right one the first time??
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen. All those open shelves, hum gives me ideas!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour scheme,furnishings and the ambiance of the whole room Vicki.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am really enjoying about this "kitchen sink" series is the realness of the kitchens. Someone uses them and loves them not like those ( sorry minimalists) dreadful decorating magazine kitchens.
Also I have been inspired to tidy up my walk in pantry , which is always a good thing to do.
Happy Day to all.
Rhonda - I was just informed by Becky at Hospitality Lane that my little kitchen was featured today! Thank you so much - such a neat series you're doing here. I've enjoyed looking into other lady's homes and I hope everyone will enjoy looking into mine! Thank you everyone for your sweet comments! I'd love to have all of you come for tea or coffee!
ReplyDeleteVickie, what a lovely kitchen! Everything looks well loved and well used which is the sign of any true homemaker. Go you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting another beautiful kitchen Rhonda. Vickie, your kitchen is wonderful. I love the colour. My kitchen is green too.
ReplyDeleteTracie
Your kitchen is absolutely adorable... I love it! Thank you for sharing it with us :)
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW. What a gorgeous kitchen! I love it all, from the color to the shelves to the pitchers. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful kitchen, I love the colour, so soothing. I used to have opened shelves and I miss them now we have cupboards again.
ReplyDeletePippa.
I love this kitchen. Old farmhouses are so cool. Thanks for this series. Plus Vickie lives close to me. I live in East TX as well, in Emory. Small world!
ReplyDeleteI love this pretty kitchen, especially the open shelves.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rhonda for the 'kitchen sink' segment. I look forward to each entry.

How beautiful, it's bright and cheery, yet very peaceful and inviting with the green. I love the old pitchers - very nice!
ReplyDeleteHello everyone. Lovely comments, as usual, thank you.
ReplyDeleteVickie, I sent an email, it must have been lost somewhere. Anyhow, I wanted to include your blog link, so I'll do that now.
That kitchen is BEAUTIFUL!!
ReplyDeleteYou picked a great kitchen to display....so cool....and from texas
ReplyDeleteyou picked a great kitchen to show off...
ReplyDeleteVicki-I love those colors, so much, that they were my wedding colors 27 years ago. Beautiful! You did a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteHow nice and fresh in the green. It's lovely Vickie.
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring this adorable kitchen. It's like grandmother's only better!
ReplyDeleteVickie: What a lovely, cozy, charming kitchen. I love the open shelves with the useful but beautiful items at your fingertips. The green is charming and I love the fact that you bought so many things used but well loved. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling kitchen--the green is very soothing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous, welcoming kitchen. I would spend all day in it. Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteMaggie L
Thanks for letting us see your kitchen, Vickie. I bet getting rid of the dark pine made a HUGE difference.
ReplyDeleteLove the color. And I think a window over the sink is a necessity for me. My grandmother had one in her kitchen and when we bought our house I had to make sure it had one as well.
ReplyDeleteSandy
This kitchen is so dreamy! I love the bright colors and especially the shelf above the window... what a great idea, I've got a similar set-up and should go grab a slice of plywood now!
ReplyDeleteSooo cute and everything is just neat as a pin. Add me to the list of people who love the color.
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO Vickie! You go girl. Love your little kitchen and all the added touches.
ReplyDeleteSo glad my Texas bloggy friend was featured.
Hugs,
Tara
How very cute! I love the color and the trims. It kind of reminds me of the kitchen in my grandmother's old house, which is a 120 year old Victorian era cottage in Melbourne. But yours is so much nicer. I'd love to do something like that in our soon-to-be next house but as it's an 80's style house I doubt I'd be able to carry off the look.
ReplyDeletevicki, l just love your kitchen, l would feel right at home there. are they spoons for draw handles l love the idea (if they are).
ReplyDeleteA lovely kitchen! I am so glad you shared it with us. I don't normally post, but had to say hi! :) You did a splendid job with it. It's like something out of House and Homes
ReplyDeleteVickie. this is so sweet. I love it. Just popped over to visit your blog. Loved the egg and microwave story.
ReplyDeleteBlessings Gail
I love a painted kitchen and I love green.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the colors and open cabinetry. The pitchers are a nice country touch to the old farmhouse kitchen. Well done!

LOVE this kitchen! It is very similar in layout to mine and I've been looking for ways open it up. Thank you for the spark of inspiration! Plus it just happens to be the same color as most of my house. The table is just too cute, will have to try and replicate that....Thanks to both of you ladies!
