We have been working away on projects over here…
and it has really been eating into my blog project time
So thought I would share one of my latest pin-obsessions…
Vintage Cottage Kitchens
There are so many aspects that I love about vintage kitchens
These kitchens each have something that talks to me…
The old cupboards covered in paint and charm
(yes~ those peonies are pretty fabulous too!)
Love the shutters- in white they would be so charming
and those little skirts as doors too.
Wood floors in a kitchen…
yes, please.
painted in shabby colors or patterns…
and brick will even do~
wow.
A fun kitchen island-
that didn’t necessarily start out as a kitchen island.
The ceiling in this next one~
Gorgeous.
I think the screen door is so cute
but am loving those stools more!
Old beadboard walls and stone counters
whites with the old shabby table island and the green accents…
*sigh*
I love vintage inspired kitchens probably as much as the originals
and the bonus is-
the drawers would all be on slides and work without falling when you pull them out!
🙂
Would you believe that when we first moved into our house
we had an old vintage sink in the kitchen
that we took out when we remodeled in favor of having a taller window behind the sink?
Not an apron sink- but one with washboards on the sides.
I think about that sink even now and though I absolutely love the extra foot of window we gained
I wonder what was I thinking taking it out!
lol!
These are just a few of the inspirations you can find on my

These are all fabulous, but no better than your kitchen. You just reminded me that I still haven't been to a local re-store here.

So many great kitchens. I love the last few photographs. The use of fabric under the sink add such a rustic elegant look.

Thank you so much for all of this inspiration. My husband and I are building our own house (not having it built but building it ourselves) And you have just given me so many ideas for my kitchen. Thanks a bunch.

Hi Courtney!!!
These pictures are so great. The things you picked out in certain pictures(peonies, screen door, etc.)were some of the things that I noticed right away. I just loved the screen door!! The kitchen near the end, using blue and white was just so refreshing to look at, as all of them were.
Thanks again for a great blog!! Re-Store….how I love your finds at this store!!
Have a great week!!

These are gorgeous. I love the cute first one. It's funny,when I was a girl,we didn't have custom built in kitchens and everyone I knew including my mum, had little curtains under the sink. They were usually gingham fabric. x
Holly Irwin Fine Art says
A beautiful post! Thank you! My favorite is the white kitchen with the shabby farm table and a mirror over the sink!
Katie Mansfield says
I love those and I have pinned some of those as well. That first one is adorable. It shows that a kitchen doesn't have to be huge to be cute and functional.
Linda@Coastal Charm says
Courtney,
Thanks for sharing these beautifil kitchens…I always enjoying seeing vintage style kitchens and getting ideas:)
Blessings,

Leena Milligan Lanteigne says
I love these kitchen inspirations! My favorite is the one with the Parish House sign and that fabulously chippy table! I've seen it before and actually had it in my inspiration file =:) Wish my kitchen was bigh enough for this kind of charm. I have, however, redesigned it in my head over and over – now to ever get to make that vision a reality! Thanks for the eye candy! Hugs, Leena
Holly @ Down to Earth Style says
I so want to redo my kitchen now….OMG! Just moved into a house with dark cabinets. I can't look at these photos or I won't be able to walk into my kitchen.
Athena at Minerva's Garden says
Beautiful kitchen elements that you've selected, Courtney–I am particularly drawn to the curtains used on tension rods below the sinks and covering the fronts of the lower cabinets–charming! Thank you for stopping by my blog today and leaving a sweet comment–I appreciate it very much.
Jennifer @ Town and Country Living says
I love all those kitchens! In my first house, I had one of those old sinks you were talking about. I hired a contractor to build a custom cabinet underneath – complete with rounded edges to fit the curves of the sink. I loved it.

jute webbing is my favourite hobby. Thanks for those beautiful pictures.
KMalinkaVintage says
Awesome post! I love everything!

From a long time I was confused about selecting the suitable design for my kitchen. There are options such as country kitchens which includes French kitchens, Australian country kitchens, Country kitchens Dubbo and Italian country kitchen. I was wondering which one will be a perfect option. But I think Vintage Cottage Kitchens are far way better! Thanks!
Christina says
I loved seeing all of these inspiring photos…but would love to see more of certain kitchens, especially the fourth photo from the end (birdcages and stone counter). Is there somewhere to view more of them?
Unknown says
Мне очень понравились идеи на кухне. Свежо и разумно.. Прованс – беспроигрышный вариант! Браво!
Carlin Bass says
I especially like the first pic of the all cream kitchen! What would you guess the color to be on the walls?
Thanks
Irene Madrid says
Wish I could send photos of my newly redone huge kitchen. I swapped out for handcraffted teal mermaid tail backsplash which looks amazing with my swirled brown granite, wraparound almond cabinets w/ ceramic piunk/gold/ivory pulls. Blush velvet stools/chairs go with my Anthro oversized floral teal sofa. I just ordered an oval table that wil look like water running past beautiful wood.I tuck jeweled trinkets for the children to fins, drape velvet abd lace over lamps, chairs. My fabulous Mackenzie reindeer are here as well. Antique trays gather my vintage plates. And of course, photos of my 11 grands are here.
