Be Inspired #151: Kitchen Remodel with Vintage in Mind.

Hi Everyone, wow, can you believe it's August?
This Summer is flying by, I hope you've been enjoying it and finding some time to get some projects done. I finished one last week that I've been putting off for ages. Thanks to all you who featured my kitchen tabletop makeover this last week. If you haven't seen that post, then just click here. It's now my "most visited post"!

Sometimes I see an amazing photo on a blog and I just assume that it must be a magazine image; but not this time. This wonderful kitchen below belongs to Silvina from Tasas & Cuentos.  She has finished a complete kitchen renovation, and the result is a vintage lovers' dream come true. She wanted old cabinetry for this amazing open space, so when she found this huge Grocery Store Counter and it's cupboard companion, it became the showstopping centerpiece for her new and efficient work space.















She left the paint finishes as is, and just added in extra shelving for dish storage. Not many of us would have the space for this kind of fabulous counter, but her quest for a vintage look paid off. If you haven't seen this post in person, then please visit her blog and also check out the previous posts on this kitchen renovation.


Kathleen from Faded Charm 
takes us on a morning walk in her lovely garden. 
Her Hydrangeas are heavenly.
with Katie at Decorate My Life



Erin from Just Grand shared her friend's wonderful Gardens,
complete with potting shed and fishpond.



Carlene from Organized Clutter
 gave a recap of her Garden Junk Vignettes.



 And Mary from Home is Where the Boat Is
 has been loving lavender and shares her Lavender Margaritas
...Need I say more?

yes, please...


Today's Sponsor Spotlight is on Lucy from 
hope you'll run by her shop and check out all the fun Summer Jewelry
in her upcycled, recycled, repurposed vintage shop.


thanks Lucy!

Hope you'll join in today for the party. Be Inspired is open to all "inspiring" posts, not just vintage. I'd love for you to be a follower of Common Ground, and remember to please have a link to this blog within your blog post to be featured.


and check out these other great Friday Parties



Alrighty then,
Time to get this party started!

    I agree, Debra. That's the most amazing kitchen remodel I've seen. Makes me want a large kitchen. What a fabulous idea to use the antique counter and floor to ceiling cupboard. This should be in a magazine!

    I had to check out your table top post and it is so pretty! I've been out of the loop for a few weeks so I missed it. I'm going to have to do that to one of ours this winter. I do the same thing, dive in thinking it will be a quick job only to find out it's taken a lot longer than anticipated. Thanks for hosting!

    Nice idea on the vintage design. I haven't thought about making out kitchen that way but the idea sounds very inviting. Thanks a lot for sharing.
