I’m working my way through our new home, developing decor design ideas for each one. You can read all about our tropical twilight master bedroom and vintage travel guest room. Today, I’m tackling the kitchen, with a mood board and wish list for my favorite room!

Kitchen Inspiration and Mood Board

The kitchen is one of the rooms where I spend most of my time. I wanted it to feel welcoming and peaceful, but not boring. I’ve always enjoyed kitchens with bright, bold colors (surprised?) but I didn’t want it to be overwhelming.

In my first apartment, my kitchen was sunflower themed, so I have a lot of appliances and tools that are green and yellow. When deciding on the color scheme, I thought of those pieces, but I also added in a bold peacock blue. It’s a shade I’ve always loved, and I thought the kitchen could be a perfect place to implement.

My kitchen is already well-stocked with the major and minor appliances, thanks to our wedding registry. So my focus for this wish list is heavy on the decorative, though still useful pieces. Our kitchen has plenty of counter, wall, and cabinet space that is great for these displayed items.

I’m also imagining some big picture changes, although these would be more long term. Things like the back splash and bar stools will bring in the feeling I’m seeking easily. But first, I’m adding the small details like the produce baskets, floor mat, and canisters. Of course our kitchen must include a comfy spot for Tessa, our chihuahua. She loves to watch us cook!

I’m loving the selection of pieces that we can use everyday. Things like the marble cutting board, peacock oven mitt, and spice rack are beautiful and efficient. The tea towels and bar mops are always useful to have on hand. And everyone needs a cute trash can.
