Hello everyone,
Today my friend Shelia is hosting a Kitchen Party and I want to join in- I hope I am not too late! I took these photos today and it was cloudy when I took them so they are not the best.
You might know that I love dishes-especially red transferware so my cupboards are getting pretty full-but I know there is always room for more!
I will open the doors so you can get a better look!
Now, the other side.
Closer up.
In the middle
I actually had a little party in my kitchen today as we had some visitors from Japan.
We enjoyed some hot apple cider.
I picked this big bouquet from the garden this morning.
These are my cupboards. We renovated our kitchen about 5 years ago.
the cupboards are ivory with a antiqueing glaze over them.
The baywindow in the dining area has a good view of the garden.

No suprise that your kitchen is as beautiful as your garden! I love your cabinets and your cupboards filled with your collection of dishes is gorgeous!
Oh Carolyn, I'm so envious, now I know why I can'tfind any red transferware..
Carolyn what a beautiful collection of transferware..am curious have you ever considered taking the doors off of the cabinets so the collection can be seen better? It looks so pretty with the lace on the shelves! I love your kitchen cupboards too! I will be painting mine someday....
Such a pretty kitchen. Love your cabinets and the dishes. Darling. I'm dropping by from Shelia's party. I hope you'll come see our kitchens at Atticmag - three for one!

Hi Carolyn...
My friend, I think this may be the first time that I've seen your lovely kitchen! It really is beautiful...I love those type of drawer pulls! Of course, I always love to peek through your china cabinets! You know that the red transferware is my favorite...Oh, heart be still! I think I died and went to red transferware heaven, Carolyn! Hehe!
It looks like you had a busy day with another tour group. Your visitors looked like they were really enjoying their hot apple cider! You are such a great hostess, my friend! Thank you for sharing your beautiful kitchen and china cabinets with us...such a treat!
Warmest autumn wishes,

Caroly,
Your colors, and cupboard with all the transferware is the most beautiful I have seen!
YOu have displayed all your beloved dishes to perfection!
I love your kitchen. My kitchen is white, but I am thinking of putting an antique glaze on my cupboards. After seeing yours, I am even more convinced.
Just so beautiful!

Dearest Carolyn,
Thanks for letting us 'in' on that special kitchen party! The Japanese for sure enjoyed their apple cider and also the roomy and bright kitchen of yours; compared to their scaled down kitchens at home.
Great crocheted lacework inside your transferware china cabinets! And LOVE that double window over the sink... that keeps you 'in sync' with your garden all the time!
Sunny greetings from Georgia,

Blessings,
Linda
Great kitchen, Carolyn. Your dishes look gorgeous. Susan
It's as beautiful as I imagined it would be Carolyn! What pretty, soothing colors. Your guests from Japan look like they are enjoying your sweet hospitality.
I love getting peeks into your gorgeous home every chance I can get.

Oh you must have had such fun with all of your lovely Japanese guests! Your kitchen is so pretty, I love the ivory glazed look, it is really gorgeous. Everything looks so beautiful.

Great kitchen, Carolyn...
Very beautiful:)
Red & cream, the perfect duet for a so pretty kitchen. An other lovely room.
And the bouquet..... if I may, Carolyn, I'll use it as a model for a futur painting.
Oh quelle collection incroyable de belle faïence blanche et rouge ! Comme c'est beau cette cuisine !
Bises
You're so classy my dear Carolyn.
I love your kitchen and I am so glad you showed us.
Thank you,Fra
I love those little drawers by your stove ... good use of space. I'm sure your guests enjoyed eating in your beautiful kitchen!
Everything is beautiful! I am thinking of replacing my cabinets with cream...and so am wondering...are your appliances white or bisque?
Love your kitchen, Carolyn! And you know I love your transferware!
I agree with Linda, now I know why I can't find any red!;) Have a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
What a very pretty kitchen! I love your cabinetry with all your red transferware. Just perfect! :)

It is always a treat to visit your blog. Each time I am delighted. And your bouquets are as just perfect as the transferware.
Hi Kathy,
My appliances are bisque but that is getting hard to get here in Canada but easier in the U.S. we are told.
Thank you everyone for your sweet comments-there are so many beautiful kitchens to see at Shelia's Note Songs.
Carolyn your kitchen is beautiful and your collection of red transferware is goregous. Thanks for visiting my blog and your sweet comment about my kitchen.
Enjoy your day.
Gail
Your kitchen is so very charming and I always enjoy seeing your transferware. You are such an inspiration as always.

Hi Carolyn!
Wo, what a nice kitchen you've got. It's like out of one of my dreams. And the handmade borders in the cupboard look so nice together with the dishes.
Ha... it's always a joy to have a look into your home.

Your red transferware is very pretty. Nice of you to let us peek in to your kitchen and to meet some of your japanese friends as well. Love your cabinets and I love your window-view above the sink. Wouldn´t mind do the dishes at all... ;)
Happy friday,

Such a beautiful kitchen. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful collection of dishes. I too have started a small collection of transferware and keep searching for red thanks to all your posts. I am even thinking of adding toile wallpaper to our guest room after seeing how amazing your room looks on your previous posts.
Hi:)
Beautifully! I really enjoy reading your blog.
Regards from Poland
Carolyn, I knew your kitchen would be a warm cozy spot. All that red transferware is fabulous! Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed my visit and the cup of cider. ;-)
