30 Days/ day 14 & Show and Tell

It is show and tell at Kelli's http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ I am showing some splashes of red in my kitchen. I love this coffee pot/ I love red and I love coffee and it is such a cheerful thing to go to throughout the day!!! I like strong coffee so I grind mine espresso! But I mix it half with a decaf Seattle roast---wonderful.
this is my old enameled table. It has the glasses on it because my back has been out and I haven't returned them to their cupboard. I love this table because it has two leafs that can be pulled out to make it twice as big. The slot you see was for a drawer , I think, but I use it to store a fat cook book and a big glass cooking pan. I have a cabinet built under this table where I store crockpots. I love the table because you can put hot things right on it!! Great for rolling pie crusts etc!!
Ps. My back is doing sooooo much better now that I have been on muscle relaxers and motrin!

  2. I can see how you'd love red for your coffee pot. It's a great accent color with your decorating scheme.

    My S n T is shared. If you haven't dropped by, I sure hope you can stop and say "Howdy Do!".

    Happy Weekend to you and yours.

  3. Oh, I have this table top, but someone has put it on a metal base. But I love it. Red is my color too. I am using it as a coffee table right now.

  5. What a very cool table! Love the red coffee pot. I like red and I like coffee too! So you mix decaf with espresso? I had to cut back on the caffeine so I mix mine 1/2 reg roast and 1/2 decaff.

    Have a good weekend!

  8. I love red in my kitchen too! I just bought my new Kitchenaid Stand up mixer and I got it in red!!!

    I got bounced today, somehow I didn't quite fit into the guidelines. That's okay, my post stands as is.

  10. That is fun! I love the table. I have a red food processor. I've never been into red, but seeing how well it matched my vintage scale and the perfect contrast with my turquoise cookbooks... well I love red for my kitchen now. I think yours is great!

    Glad you are healing!

  18. I've never been too fond of red, but I think your splashes of red are great. I especially like the coffee maker.
    You asked about my knee. I'm afraid that I will have to have surgery on it. It just doesn't seem to be getting any better. Bummer!
    I'm glad your back is better.

    and a red painted accent wall.
    I am not so bold, yet!

  28. I love your coffee pot and your table. I am sorry about your back. I do know the feeling, as my back went out this week too. It seems to do that when my husband is on a business trip. He's back tonight though, Yay! I hope your back is really better soon. Kathi

  30. My grandmother had an enameled table I would have loved to have...I think the 2nd wife's kids got it...along with some other treasures of hers. It's a very sad story. So, I'm so very glad you're feeling better. And I WILL put flowers in that vase....I think I will wait for my peonies to bloom!!!!!!!!

  35. The silica gel is a crystal like substance used to dry flowers. You should be able to find it at any good craft shop. It can be used over and over.
