I *adore* vintage textiles, fabrics and linens. One of my biggest collections is vintage aprons. I think I have about 50 of them. I love the soft old printed fabrics...they just don't make the fabric like they used to...and I love the way the fabric aged and faded with time, giving it the well-loved appearance. I have several hooks on my kitchen island where I display about 6 of my favorite aprons, but I wanted more space to display them (rather than keep them hid away in a drawer). I picked up a few hooks and had David screwed them to the end of my cabinets, and now they're loaded with some more of my favorite aprons...the pretty prints and colors make me smile :)
Hi there! Lovely kitchen. Can you tell me the name of your paint colors and brand?

LOVE the kitchen, especially the cream vintage-looking cupboard with the rounded bottom lower drawers/cupboards. Is that an antique? I'd love to know how to find one. Thanks!

Your vintage look reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen.

If I had a Pinterest board, I'd definitely pin that first photo. The colors and textures are beautiful.

I love how you have the vintage mixed in with the new. The aprons are fabulous and I love that old scale you have hanging next to them

Hi Kathy. I hate to say this, but I have no secrets! Mine is covered in fingerprints most of the time too (it just so happens thatthe kitchen was just cleanedin this photo). Do you have a stainless steel cleaner? I really like the results I get using that :)

Gorgeous pictures!!! Oh I just adore the way it all looks!! Beautiful colors in the aprons ~ looks so pretty where you have placed them!!
BTW ~ I have the same fridge as you and was wondering how you keep it so clean and shiny? I have three little ones and it gets smudgy and I have finger prints all over it always!!
