My White Phase – In the Kitchen

March 2, 2015  Decorating | Uncategorized

 

Love these open shelves filled with white kitchen accessories - and the herringbone carrara marble backsplash is gorgeous! kellyelko.com

Picasso had his blue phase.

I’m having a white phase – white kitchen filled with white kitchen accessories that are functional too (that scalloped bowl just served last night’s pasta).

I just realized it’s been three years since I posted a tour of my kitchen.  Things have changed (including my photography skills) but the bones stay the same and I love it as much as did the day I moved in.

You know I’m a color loving gal and my white kitchen lets me switch out colors, collections and accessories on a whim.

Maybe it’s the overabundance that was Christmas because ever since I packed away the last piece of tinsel, I’ve been craving simplicity.

Of course, I’m not completely abandoning color.

Flowers have been perking me up as I count down the days til spring.

And a hot cup of tea never hurt either.

Tulips brighten up any space - love the gold teapot kellyelko.com

I’m loving mint tea right now.

What’s your favorite?  Or are you a die hard coffee drinker?

 

P.S. Follow me on Instagram where I share these snaps around my house and more.

    A white kitchen always looks so fresh and clean and adding some sort pop of color never hurts.
    Love your cute owl cookie jar
    Me and hubby are both die hard coffee drinkers; morning, noon and night and in between.

    Don’t you love how white can be such a subtle but strong “color” ? White makes such a statement, and with the touches of added color, white creates the perfect back stage to feature pops of color. I love your marble backsplash, so soft with just a hint of gray. I too, love tea, especially the licorice flavor. Chai tea is one of my favorites too. Will Spring ever get here?? I feel like I live in Alaska or Siberia! Your kitchen has such a welcome feeling…thank you for inviting us in for a cup of tea!

      I’ll have to spice up my tea time with a little Chai! Crossing fingers that spring gets here before I go crazy – stay warm in the meantime!

      Thanks Cynthia – I sometimes wish I would have went with more open shelves but that would also mean more clutter!!

    I love my Yogi teas in the afternoon… and last night I had a lovely cuppa chamomile while watching Downton Abbey! Cheers, Kelly!

      Never heard of Yogi tea – I’ll have to give it a try. I’m actually sipping mint tea while watching a Downton repeat!

    I would do anything for a white kitchen with a great marble tile like yours!! I hate my kitchen and it is, by far, one of they ugliest kitchens EVER (proof: http://thebrickbungalow.blogspot.com/2012/11/house-kitchen-remodel.html). I love a good white kitchen with pops of seasonal color (like your flowers or some green vases!)

    I’ve been on this phase ever since I renovated my kitchen, so for me, it’s time to go for color. But which color? that’s the thousand dollar question. 🙂
