You, me and the kitchen sink

Today's photo is the last of the original batch. It's Krystal's kitchen in Nova Scotia in Canada.

She writes:
"We moved into this house a couple years ago and I have been slowly doing different renos along the way. I painted the kitchen walls and ceiling, put up the panels/rod on the sliding door. Just need to fix the other panel and make it into a topper above the sink. We changed out the old lighting and my pride and joy is the backsplash. I did that all by my little lonesome. I like to think it ain't bad.

 
The china cabinet next to my table was my moms. She bought new ones so I took this one and I love it.  I think it was meant to go with my table. 

Still dreaming and making changes as the funds will allow.. Saving now for a new sink and taps. We have really hard water and these taps are ready to explode. Lets hope they don't.

If you would like your kitchen sink to be featured in the current batch of photos, send two photos, reduced in size to about 30 percent, to  rhondahetzel at gmail dot com.

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.

  2. I really like your kitchen, Krystal. I particularly like the colours (unusual and EFFECTIVE) and yes, the splashback is lovely. I think your kitchen would be very easy and a joy to work in. Thanks for sharing,

  3. The backsplash is very nice! I think the linoleum in your eating area is the same that we had several years ago in a house we lived in! I always liked it - as I do the blue walls. Very wise to pay as you go and be content until otherwise!

  9. Lovely kitchen! I love the colour of your dining table. I'm hopeless with different woods but whatever it is it's a gorgeous colour :) I think I might submit my own wee kitchen to you Rhonda. Will have to wait til it's light outside again.

    This kitchen is dreamy! I think I could quite happily transport all of it into my home and be giddily satisfied with it :) I'll bet it makes you want to cook, Krystal! Thanks for sharing the photos.

  19. Hi Krystal, great work on the splash back, good on you for doing it. Nice kitchen, I especially love your stove/oven. And it seems impossible as I'm in Aust and you're in Nova Scotia but I think we have the same cupboard doors!

  22. Great job with the splashback. The biggest part is that first step and you did it by yourself. I admire you and think you'll treasure that achievement all your life because it speaks volumes about who you are and can be.
