miss b loves..........colour in the kitchen



My new Iznik pot stand from Istanbul has inspired a new kitchen colour scheme.......well, we were ready for an injection of colour ........


Espresso maker from Homesense
Le Creuset spatulas from Debenhams


Oven gloves from Homesense


Striped cushion from Laura Ashley
Ginko Leaf cushions from Next

I spotted these cute tea light holders as I was shopping at Sainsbury's and thought they would be perfect on one of the  glass shelves...



For the last few weeks I've been drawn like a magnet to all things orange, purple and olive...... We sometimes have lunch on Saturdays at a lovely casual restaurant called Food by Breda Murphy in Whalley. On the way out, I couldn't resist this Voluspa candle in their gift shop - I knew the colour would be just right and  it smells divine too (vacarro orange and myrhh). The coasters were another find on our travels - the souk in Dubai.  



It's surprising how a few accessories can make such a difference but when will this obsession with colour stop........!


Chilli oil - the perfect shade!



PS I have 100 followers!! Thank you, everyone....I'm so delighted and really appreciate your support. Welcome to Meroda,my 100th follower.

    Bonjour Miss b. Congratulations on your 100th follower! I, too, enjoy color in my kitchen, and in the rest of my house too. We were recently in Mexico, where i saw the most amazing orange tile kitchen displayed in a Puerto Vallarta tile shop. I loved it ! (you can see a picture of it in the first one of my PV posts.) Bonne semaine, Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

    Hopefully your colour obsession will never stop - life is too short not to have colour! I love the sound of the Voluspa candle. I will have to invest in one I think!

    Congrats on 100 followers and have a great week, Stephie x
