Freshening up my kitchen for summer!
I freshened up my kitchen space for summer with bright accents, new chairs, and some artwork!

Welcome to my kitchen…my cat says hi! 😉
As you likely know my kitchen space is my most favourite room in our home. It’s where I spend most of my time, and it’s where I feel most at peace and where I go to destress. Not only do I need my kitchen to function smoothly, I also like it to look nice. In fact, I decorate our kitchen space just like I decorate any other room in the house.
Come have a look at how I’ve freshened up this space for summer!
If I had my way my I would have an entire kitchen of white cabinets…I love white. One day I will have my white kitchen, but for now I’m happily working with what I have which is lovely. For now, to keep things up to date, we’ve replaced the appliances and I’m amazed at how even that change has freshened things up! This year we also painted the walls, added a couple of new chairs and some accents and artwork. And to keep things cheery and bright I like to change out the floor rugs and tea towels. Even these simple changes make a big impact. I’m really happy with how it’s all starting to come together!
Now turning around, here is my favourite part of the kitchen, our eating nook. I have the most fun decorating in here.
This nook is my most favourite view in our kitchen, and more specifically this corner with the set of drawers. Not only does this set of drawers hold all my linens and small dishes, it also serves as a pretty vignette to showcase pretty dishes and fresh flowers or any seasonal decor. Then to tie everything together I added this ‘eat’ sign from Vintagebebe, and now I love this space even more!
Isn’t this great? Sigh.
And no kitchen space should be devoid of fresh flowers or potted plants! These seasonal pansies fit the bill just perfectly.
One of the fun finds for this space are the new turquoise chairs my friend & I recently discovered at a vintage market in Montana. I saw them and had to have them…so we hauled these chairs all the way back in our packed-to-brim truck! Hahaha! But don’t they look so nice?! Now I just need to find 3 more chairs, and I plan to paint them bright colours as well. Thinking yellow and white!
So there is my summer inspired kitchen! I really enjoy keeping this space bright and cheery all throughout the year! Do you decorate your kitchen for the seasons?
Have an inspired day!
Gosh do I love your kitchen! It’s so pretty! You have so many fun touches everywhere! P.S. I have the same faucet and LOVE IT!!
Thank you Christine! We’re really happy with how everything is coming together!
Love the pop of colour those turquoise chairs bring to your space. Worth the haul!
Thanks Shauna! I think so too! Junking is fun sometimes!
It looks fantastic! And I love the idea of the LED light on the faucet – what a handy safety feature for kids.
Thanks Heather! We’re really impressed with this faucet – it’s got some great features – I especially love the no-touch!
The faucet is so sleek and stylish! I love your turquoise chairs too. And I actually have that same exact black chandelier in my kitchen. 🙂 Jo
Thank you Joann! We’re loving our new faucet!
It looks awesome Jo Anna! And now I really want that faucet. I love the light on it. Great feature. Love the nice design additions too!
Thank you Elaine!
I absolutely love this- tourquoise and yellows are so cheery- and of course white is so clean looking. Thanks for the inspiration I needed on a very grey-day outside!
Thank you Barrie! It’s dreary here today too, so I always love the pops of colour especially on days like today!
I love all your vintage touches. Can’t wait to see more colourful chairs, so fun.
Oh thank you Dannyelle! It’s all coming together slowly, but I’m enjoying the process! I’m hoping to have the next set of chairs painted by the end of the summer!
Beautiful! I made a similar “eat” sign last fall with wooden letters and spray paint!
Thank you Heather! I love typography art in the kitchen! I bet yours looks fantastic!
Such a pretty kitchen, and I love the chairs and the vintage sign! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Beautiful kitchen Jo-Anna! I love all the colors and touches and your photos are lovely!

I love the bright colors in your kitchen! Perfect for summer! Thanks for linking up to Small Victories Sunday Linkup.
I’m loving your faucet. I also love the chest of drawers. I would go for a wider set for a long wall that I have. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for sharing on Sunday’s Best.
Thank you Rhonda!
Very beautiful kitchen! I especially love the vintage Eat sign, as well as the mis-matched chairs. The black chandelier adds another touch of jazz too 🙂 So pretty and fun!
Thank you so much Brooke!
Everything looks so beautiful. I love the eat sign and the colors you’ve used. :o]

Love your kitchen! Those pansies are beautiful…one of my favorite flowers. I always like having fresh flowers or plants in the kitchen too. They make me smile. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty – we’re looking forward to what you have to share next week. 🙂
