I got only one quick shotof the tulips being kissed by the morning sun,
then the brief moment was gone.
The apartment came with a white kitchenwith white tiles and red grout,
even on the floor.
Apart from this little design flaw,it's a great Miele kitchen
with ingenious cabinet features.
I have learned to love it and play with the red accents.
I even got myself a fire engine redKitchenaid mixer. ;-)

Every now and then, I go domestic.
Here's a picture from my blog, dated March 6, 2006:
Help yourself to a cup of tea, please!
(Yes, André,
I do tea:
At least twice daily.)
Warning: Recycled post!

somepinkflowers:
Thank you! :-)
sally crawford from london:
I agree.
Twice! :-)
Those tuplips are so pretty. I adore the mushrooms too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you recycled this post as I had not and probably would not have seen it otherwise.
I like Red, so I'd not have minded the uniqueness of the kitchen. And I think you have 'gone with it' and have a lovely kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI see little toadstools, and a little skiing snowman, but where is the gnome? I thought I remembered a little kitchen gnome, on your counter, back a ways... :-)
I've thought it before and not said it and so, I will say it this time... When you show us pictures from your apartment, it looks as if you have fantastic windows. Bright! Letting in the sun and nature. I love that!!! I like windows open {not closing drapes until I really have to, I mean}. I love your lovely windows.

It was another picture of your kitchen window that made me visit your blog (it showed up when I Googled something-or-other).
ReplyDeleteYou've done a beautiful job working with the red grout. Lovely!
Ann:
ReplyDeleteI love the red mushrooms with the white dots, my collections is small, but full of memories of the places or people I associate with them.
smilnsigh:
The little nome usually hides on a shelf from where he can look out into the garden through the window.
Every now and then I take him down and play with him. ;-)
The apartment has has great light thanks to tall windows (built in 1905, where light apparently was appreciated).
steph waller:
Who would have thought that somebody would find my blog via my kitchen window? ;-)
I guess I would miss the red grout if I had to do without now. :-)
Thank you for your visit to my blog...I am glad you posted a comment. I will e-mail you soon...your kindness blows me away :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your red grout I thought to myself...hmmmmm!!! I have white tile over my counters and on my floor...red grout now that is interesting...I could re grout :)
Your photos are wonderful and I would like some tea please...perhaps one of those lovely Viennese pastry?
I was delighted to discover your blog today; your photos are lovely, as are your words and the poems you post! I'm an American of Austrian descent and I posted about Krampus on my blog last month -- yours is the only other blog where I've ever seen him mentioned.
ReplyDeleteYou've made this kitchen look really groovy! FAB!
ReplyDeleteAlso all the tulips look wonderful. Glad you had a nice lunch with your teenager :-)) (I LOVE taking our son out for a meal)
Oooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that white tile with red grout/groat/groan...
Can't spell worth a damn but I knows what I likes!
Very pretty post..
Do you have a mini version of that tea tray?
I wanna paint it!
I, too, have a fire-engine red KitchenAid mixer. One of my favorite possessions.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheerful post! I love your red and white color combination. Your recycled image is even tastier a second time around!!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your comments about teenagers!
ReplyDeleteMine are now grown.
Please send me one of those sugar powdered doughnuts.........or perhaps two.
I have been tagged to ask blogging friends to give hints about 'fabulous blogging'.
Would you like to offer some sage advice in a blog?
But I can certainly understand if you're too busy.
I shall I be mother (you are familiar with this phrase aren't you)? Cakes look good to.
ReplyDeleteA Miele kitchen, that sounds very flash and nice. But what's Limoncello in a small pot, I'm used to it in bottles!
Mo'a:
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! :-)
Take your choice of sweet treat!
Jennifer:
Welcome! Krampus was such a memorable part of my childhood, I could never forget about him. ;-)
elizabeth:
ReplyDeleteYes, groovy is the word! :-)))
parisbreakfasts:
Unfortunately I do not own a mini-version of that old Ikea tray (it was once plain wood, then my son painted it for me white).
Radiogirl:
Red KitchenAid! Red Radio Flyer too?
debbie egizio:
Thank you! :-)
elizabeth:
ReplyDeleteFaschingskrapfen are on their way to Marrakesh!
Sage advise about blogging?
I am afraid I am the one in need of advise. I shall keep an eye of the responses you get! ;-)
Andre Veloux:
Oh, you are welcome to be mother! :-)
One of my children's male playmates once asked if she'd let him be father. Lots of giggles were the answer.
The kitchen ages well, I would say. ;-)))
In the little pot there's rock candy immersed in Limoncello, produced in Hamburg, Germany, by L.W.C. Michelsen.
