Offbeat Homie Kayla uploaded these photos to our Offbeat Home & Life Flickr pool. Unhappy with a boring white rental kitchen, Kayla rounded up a whole bunch of colorful kitchen goodies, and turned her boring rental into an colorsplotion fiesta of kick-ass kitchen-ery.
Look at all her no-damage colorful kitchen additions…
- Fiesta Rangetop Salt and Pepper Set in tangerine on display.
- Pretty blue Fiesta Spoon Rest.
- The adorable Fred and Friends Measuring Matroyshkas set.
- Pretty dish towel hung on the outside of a boring white oven.
- Bright green kettle (kind of like this guy) chilling on the stove.
- A colorful “backsplash” behind the stove. You could do that with contact paper, or wrapping paper.
- And I love that she hung up her MIU France Silicone Pot Holders for easy access AND pops of color.
- If you ask me, every kitchen could benefit from the rainbow Fiesta Multicolor 11 Piece Knife Block Set.
- Digging the orange kitchen utensil holder
- I am a little shocked that the Keurig Mini isn’t in one of their bright colors.
- And, of course, always display your happy colored mugs!
Finally, use open shelving to display all the rest of your colorful kitchen things, and BOOM! You’ve brightened up your rental kitchen without doing anything permanent.
Well Done! I love the shelf with all of the jugs! Much nicer than my mustard yellow and dusty blue rental kitchen. Blergh!
Kayla!-we are destined to be best friends! I collect fiestaware (apparently 30 place settings aren’t excessive?!) and my kitchen looks like a rainbow threw up allover it. It is AWESOME! I love the little glimpse into your home. It looks super and colorful and fun! Enjoy! Where’d you get the “roll with it” and “be grateful” prints? So cute.
Megan, thanks so much for featuring my kitchen! I just saw your comments on my Flickr photos so I apologize for not responding! I wish I had some before pictures to show you – the kitchen is insanely small and extremely white. After two years of just trying to avoid being in there, I finally spruced it up. I used some vinyl adhesive paper from Etsy for the “backsplash” and found those prints as free printables here: http://overthebigmoon.com/fun-kitchen-printables/. I also found the vintage-looking cabinet knobs here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/172258281/light-blue-teal-milk-glass-knobs-cabinet?ref=shop_home_active_3
Three cheers for committing to a colour palette! I think even the loosest of colour schemes makes all the difference in any space, but especially rentals!
I have the same vintage sugar/creamer set! Plus some mugs and plates, though some broke last time I moved so I’m always on the lookout for more. Such a pretty collection overall!
