Leanne's kitchen collections








I would have to say, that of all the things i collect most pretties end up in and around my kitchen. This is quite possibly because this is where i spend most of my time!My favorite buffet is rather plain but very dear to me as it belonged to my nanna.I simply painted it with my favorite colour for furniture mill flour, added some glass knobs, and dressed it with vintage china, glassware and treasured collectables.When my dining table is not being used for my kids creations, i love nothing more than to dress it up, sit down, enjoy a cup of coffee with Kelly and flick through our favourite books and magazines looking for idea's and inspiration.

  2. Thankyou so much for your encouragement Sam. At the moment Kelly and i are obsessed in Marie Antoinette! Kelly purchased a lovelly magazine from a stunning American blog 'Vintage Rose Designs' so we have been looking through that for inspiration.I have seen some pics from the Jeanne D'arc mags and they are dreamy.
