Tickled Pink!


I've been looking forward to sharing with you the latest addition to my kitchen, my new kitchen island!  My friend John made this for me out of an old buffet that he found.   All it needed was some loving care, a fresh coat of pink paint, a new top and it was good to go!


I love the beadboard that he placed on the front of it.  He has stamped his name on the inside of one of the drawers and I love that every time I open it, I think of him.  I have limited storage space in my pantry and am so pleased that this is big enough to hold all of my baking supplies.


My friend, Diane, painted this old Singer sewing machine stand white and asked me if I wanted it - did I ever!  It makes a great end table in the pretty room and a great space to store the cute stuffed lamb that my friend Joyce gave me.  My first machine was a Singer, as was my Mom's and my Grandma's so I especially like having this piece.  I am truly tickled pink!

With joy,

  2. Well, it's not wonder you are tickled with your new kitchen addition. It is great. I love, love, love beadboard and have it all over my house.
    I had an old Singer Stand and gave it away a few years back...now I want it back. That is so cute.

  9. What a great island - one added benefit you may find is that you can move it. We have an old farmers table that we use as an island and to me that is one of the best benefits.

    And I love the singer end table - what a great idea.

    Thanks for sharing.
