A Working Bakers Closet To Keep The Kitchen Neat And Goodies at Bay!

Hi there, hope you are so enjoying family festivities and all the yummy foods that help us celebrate the holiday season. Well I have introduced the fully loaded b

akers rack , now I want to introduce the working bakers closet!  I had this piece of wonderful all wood cabinet sitting on my porch so I decided to bring this beauty on in …….

 I really like the shutter style doors and the fact it is wood I decided on a red . The best part is I can have all my mess of kitchen gadgets and stow away fresh baked goods until I am ready to serve them. When I want I can close the doors and have a n

I white washed the inner doors and used a wood rocking tool , hung things for fun and use on both inner doors.  That's a triple batch of Swigger sugar cookie doe in the making.

 I strung some lights and attached my cookie cutter collection favorites.

 I had fun decorating the corner aside the cabinet I used my vintage ladder as a start and added some greenery , tin animals some cozy blankets some trees I crafted and sold in my shop And my wooden vintage bread box is chilled to the brim with snowballs for sale wink wink!

 And grandmas sifter , cant forget about that.

 A rag wreath that I crafted and sold similar in my shop.

 Everything at my finger tips. I had a shelf that fit perfect so I was able to display my favorite Christmas dishes. The bottom hold al my baking dishes, tins and what nots.

 The basket holds my kitchen aide gadgets

And when work is done just shut the doors...……….

A FUN & EFFICIENT KITCHEN CENTER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Hi there, welcome. Here we are celebrating Fall with open arms to spite the fact that it is still humid and hot outside  . That's ok we just carry on with our northern Fall traditions. I decided to put together a more convenient way for the family to prepare hot/cold drinks and morning oatmeal/toast etc. I thought if I could just get everything in one place it would be easy and fun for all. I am thinking that I should change my blog name into something like midnight mom or only at night something to the effect of I can really only work on photos etc at night when everyone settles in.

Anyway I had this bakers rack for a while but I was not using as such the base is all wood but very narrow so I added a corian counter then fixed the top part on to complete the bakers rack.

The best part is that there is plenty of storage , I sewed a little skirt so that I could put things such as coffee filters , gallons of water, mixing bowls etc. Large coffee cups were a great dollar tree find.

 2 drawers that hold utensils and napkins. A toaster also sits on the far right side.

 2 large shelves hold bowls and larger dinner plates, baskets on the top shelf hold breads and spices.

 I baked an Apple coffee cake that is absolutely delicious! It is a taste of home recipe. Apples are in the center spiced up with cinnamon.  This is my midnight snack as I am doing a bit of blogging.

 I crafted this Harvest sign from some old floor board. I love the Chalk board duct contact the little board helps me keep everyone in order because when I write "Closed" that means the kitchen is closed....so don't dare let me wake to a mess. I am one of those people that clean the kitchen and sweep at the end of the evening.

This glass pumpkin which I painted a bit is filled with Hot Cocoa packets.

 Just for fun I attached vintage cutters to the handles with cording.

 This cedar Acorn box holds oatmeal and I just had to pick up these pretty Fall pot holders.

 I have a couple of coffee pots one that brews coffee and one that I just do boiling water for oatmeals , tea and cocoa.

I just had to add a string of white lights and a leaf garland.

I purchased this very heavy lamp at a thrift store ...it just adds a bit of ambiance to the center.

So that's our kitchen center. Our home is a busy one and we utilize every bit of it. I try to add color to whatever Im conjuring up. I think if I had to describe our style here it would be "Cracker Barrel" style. I just love that place!  So dont' be afraid to mix and match furniture to see what you can come up with. A family kitchen center is an efficient fun way for family to Help themselves.

I would love for you to join in on the Linky party fun where I share my craft....
