Re: Kitchen accessories - what do you display that is not typically ""kitchen decor""?

I have no walls at all in my actual kitchen, no windows either. It's totally open and only separates the dining and living room by a long counter. It's kind of like a square with a 1/4th of it cut out. I also have 2 picture windows and sliding glass doors in the living room, so not much wall space anywhere, however I can look out them and see the mountains.

The only thing I have in there is a Candle warmer that melts from the top and has a stained glass shade.

My mother had this plate hanging on her kitchen wall for as long as I can remember. When she passed away, my sister gave it to me and said Mom wanted me to have it. I bought a plate stand for it and it's on top of my kitchen hutch.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Long, narrow galley kitchen with a dead end wall. Found an ironing board cover in a black & white graphic print. Hung the board like "art" along with a chrome-framed perspective drawing. Kitchen is typical black granite, white subway & cabinets. Philadelphia Flower Show poster adds a shot of color next to the French casement window.

It's a comparatively small space, so I keep the counters bare.

I have Tiffany style lamps, a lot of art on the walls, a baker's rack with all Murano green ducks, and my table and chairs which were created for a dining room, but are not formal, also two My Pillow dog beds, tv and dvd player, and a standing artificial tree in a corner with beaded fruit and birds.

Bird mama - best kitchen décor of all. Kitchens are the heart of them home. How appropriate to have a piece from your Mother there.

I can't say specifically because I don't want to reveal my last name. However, my family shares a name with a very well-known food manufacturer & I have a Barbie doll dressed in clothing labeled with that particular name displayed in my kitchen.{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Goldenlocks - when I googled to see if I could find a picture of the plate online, I was surprised to see it described as vintage. I'm going on 53 and can't remember a time that I didn't see that plate.
