Kitchen Kicks

My future Mr. and I now officially have an apartment. It's all ours. He (Brian) will be living there during the summer until we are married. I am excited we already have a place because this gives us several months to get the place prepared. It is a cute apartment and I figure I can get away with decorating it pretty cute for pretty cheap. Cute and cheap, that's what we like.

We purchased a kitchen table. It is our first piece of furniture. And besides the table, our kitchen is quite bare. We have both been fantasizing over what we can do with all the wall space in the kitchen and we came up with a few good ideas. The best part about all of this is Brian has an eye for how to decorate as well. Something that guys rarely have. This, of course, is just one of the plethora of reasons why I love this boy.

We have plans to put a giant chalkboard on one wall of the kitchen. Brian has already looked into the supplies he will need to make it and it will be very affordable. Just to give you an idea, it may look similar to this:

One of the other walls is scratched up pretty bad at the bottom. So I have decided I want to keep the wall of scratches hidden with a sweet, little bench. So I am keeping my eyes peeled for an old bench I can fix up. I want to paint it a pale pink.

A pale pink and mint colored kitchen? Sound good? I think so. Especially with a glass of milk and cookies sitting at the table as well.

Kitchen, we'll give you some pampering and you'll look pretty chic in no time.
