a newlywed apartment: our kitchen

welcome to my kitchen. :)

i'm proud to say that i spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

i love to cook and bake, 

[especially bake. :)]

and lucky for me, bryce is an easy critic to please!

even though our apartment is tiny,

our kitchen is really open, which makes it feel larger.

bar stools - target

 since we have a decent sized island,

we opted for bar stools over a kitchen table,

and so far, it's been working out pretty well! 

wine rack - crate & barrel, bulletin board - DIY project,
apron holder and wall hanging - hobby lobby,
aprons - crate & barrel and anthropologie

my cute aprons! :)

i definitely try and use them every time i cook.

cookie jar - crate & barrel, recipe box - macys,
cake stand - thrifted, cookbooks - friends & family

my cookbook and craft book collection.

bryce's sweet grandmother filled that red box full of family recipes, 

and i can't wait to try a few of them out!

kuerig - macys, mug tree - crate & barrel

and i can't leave out my kuerig.

a.k.a. my best friend.

and i LOVE our mug tree. 

it's so cute and holds 8 mugs while taking up a minimal amount of counter space. fabulous!

 a colorful rug to spruce up the floor. 

if you're going to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, you might as well surround yourself with fun and colorful things right??

do you have any fun kitchen decorating ideas?
