vintage kitchen redo

look at it--so sad. what a bad color scheme. but, it was solid wood and a great deal. thank you jcc thrift store! i just let the kids play with it for a few days. mostly they liked dropping things through the sink hole, then opening up the bottom cupboard. of course, i knew i eventually need to get started painting. and i gave a good beachy do up!
aw. so cute. i just love the bright colors, the scallops, the sea creatures. so much better and brighter! i debated doing mermaids, but the shape would have been awkward. i also thought about doing some frames on the beadboard backing with kid-ish drawings in them, but decided against it. there is sort of a lot going on.
the shelf on top--little aqua fish.
i was trying to take more pictures, but ellie and ezra kept playing with it--that darn sink hole. they love it!
there might have been a little shoving.
also fighting over the hot and cold knobs (they move).
the little knobs line up with their burner color.
little button hot and cold knobs--so cute! and the sink hole. i am looking for a metal prep bowl for it, but it's a strange size. i'll keep checking around!
and the inside. i want to do a whole room like this inside. can you imagine? orange and white striped floors, pink beadboard, and pink sand dollar accents. i'd totally live there.
another project (mostly) done.
