Bits of Home: Random Kitchen Elements

When it comes to decorating, there’s not a whole lot that can be done with our kitchen. It’s very small with only one usable wall panel. Nevertheless I tried to bring in some fun, colorful touches where I could. There’s still a few things I’d like to do with the space, but since there's a good chance we won't be sticking around here for too much longer I doubt I'll get around to doing them. For now here’s what I’ve got done.

I moved the rug from the living room into the kitchen, where it takes up practically the entire floor. It brings a lot of color into the otherwise neutral space.

I glued a few postcard prints from IKEA onto the lids of my old Birchboxes and hung them on the wall between the fridge and the sink.

There’s also a tiny bit of wall space beside the counter next to the stove and I used it to hang our oven mitts.

The canister was gifted to me by my best friend (she found it at a thrift store) and it holds Hugo’s treats. And I love my random “Nice” spatula.

I actually took these photos a few months ago, and at the time didn’t have anything on the fridge besides our dry erase calendar and these alien magnets I made in high school. Now the thing is covered in photos and invitations and whatnot. Maybe I’ll post pictures of it later. Maybe not. Who knows?

Anyway, that’s a little a mini tour of the kitchen. It’s not much, but I like what we’ve been able to do with it so far. It’s all in the little details, right?

Do you guys have any tips for decorating small spaces?
