Colour in the kitchen

Elizabeth Dimond emailed us a link to the Elmira Stove Works. WOW! Talk about colour in the kitchen. Here in Australia there are many colours in appliances as long as you basically want white or stainless steel. There are of course SMEG fridges and dishwashers but I've never seen a co-ordinated kitchen range like these retro beauties. Although I can't see it online Elizabeth says she's spotted these wonders in that retro colour to beat all colours ..... avocado. Now you're talking!

Punchy chandeliers

Did you see these amazing chandeliers in this kitchen by Civility Design that Kim included in her kitchen post yesterday? What a way to pack a punch in a room. For a couple of days now Pink from Casapinka has been wrestling with a colourful chandelier dilemma herself. Not sure if I'm into the orange myself but those light fittings are a big statement. Love a bit of drama and fun in a room. What do you think?

Kitchen help

The Apartment

Andrika, a Torontonian, emailed asking for some ideas for her kitchen redo. She has white cabinets and can't decide on a wall colour. So I sifted through my photo collection and oddly enough, most of the kitchens I found with white cabinets had white walls. Here are some that I found with some fun colours. The one above is my favourite. LOVE the blue and green colour combination. The icy blue wall is incredible (!!!). If anyone has ideas for Andrika or has a favourite among these photos, leave us your thoughts in a comment. We'd also welcome photos if you think you have a great kitchen wall colour you'd like to share.
