A Reason for Beauty

“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and 

see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares 

may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has 

implanted in the human soul.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Lovely Kitchen Display

I simply love kitchen display. It is a way to showcase favorite plate or dishware collection, kitchen utensils, or any vintage collection. It warms my heart as it evokes coziness and all the comforts of home {aside from the comforts of food}. Small as my kitchen is, I managed to put up some of my favorite collection.

A collection of the old and new 

Vintage gravy boat and platter, new teapot

A 2-tier tray to hold my favorite sugar bowls

A small collection of vintage French enamel coffee pots atop the refrigerator

Below is a collection of kitchen display photos that will always inspire me.

Blog Inspiration: Vita Ranunkler

I am featuring an absolutely  inspiring blog called Vita Ranunkler, by a Swedish mom named Marie, who makes the most gorgeous natural wreaths. I found the blog while surfing the net and for my love of vintage, her blog is heavenly. Everything in it {make that every page} is just utterly beautiful! Her home, her shop, and photography makes me want to go to Sweden if only to meet this nice and creative lady, bring home goods from her shop, or go vintage-shopping at her neighbors' yard sale.

Needless to say, her home has been featured in European magazines.

With her permission, here are some of the photos from her blog.
