My Place & Yours: In my kitchen

Thank uuuuu Vic for choosing Nic and I for the theme queens this week! We both chose 'In My Kitchen'.... a place I love to spend time in, even if it is just to whip up a cuppa.
Our kitchen is thankfully still in it's 1960's style splendour, with lovely retro spinning corner cupboard, glass paned upper wall shelves and metal bench trim and rivets. The kitchen is what made me fall in love with the house in the beginning. I dooooo l♥ve our kitchen. Ok I'll stop now lol
I have a fascination for those colourful old enameled tin plates and bowls. I don't quite know what it is - their bright colours, how they keep my dinner super warm for a long time, or the clinky clunky sound they make when you cut food on them? My friends don't get it (a friend even uses one for her cat's food bowl!), nor do my parents or anyone else I have ever ever had for dinner at our house for that matter. In fact, most usually ask for their meal on a ceramic plate. *shrugs* I like really like them. A lot.

    Very sweet cannisters and very retro kitchen. Brings back memories of when I was little.

    I love that curved cabinet- I can see why it was a no brainer to move in.
