This Week In Brenda's Kitchen...A Glossy Cobalt Blue & Amber Vase

As an eBay seller, I have taken to picking up some really interesting kitchen items and just thought that I could be sharing them here with you on Culinary Favorites From A to Z.

I've proven somewhat accidentally that my recent and fairly neutrally renovated kitchen suits many color schemes.  When we were planning our kitchen we knew this would be possible but did not realize that I would be proving it with my eBay merchandise.

Many of the kitchen accessories I bring home wind up 'liking' my kitchen or I should say I wind up liking them and wanting to keep them.  However, I do not have the space to keep all of my finds so I display them on my counter for awhile, until the item sells or until I find another one and change it up.

This week's kitchen accessory is this gorgeous glossy cobalt blue vase. I used to like a more country blue like a Wedgwood blue but of late I find myself drawn to cobalt blue. This vase is rustic and not perfect but it is very nice, at least to me. I love the colors and the high gloss finish. I think it would be gorgeous holding a large bouquet of flowers, being a receptacle for a host of kitchen tools or simply dressing up my family room mantle.

Do you like blue in the kitchen? Are you liking this unique vase as much as I am?

See you
in the kitchen!

Decorate Your Kitchen With The Sunny Colours of Sunflowers

Love sunflowers? You might want to consider decorating your kitchen with the sunny sunflower (or maybe you already do.)

The sunflower is an extremely easy item to decorate with because there is so much great merchandise available, from some pretty fabulous pieces of art to some lovely sunflower-themed kitchenware.

However, we encourage you to take the sunflower theme one step farther and incorporate items that do not actually display the sunflower but instead are simply the rich, warm tones of a sunflower, like the beautiful sunflower colored Kitchenaid stand mixer shown here.

Everyone who does not have one wants a Kitchenaid stand mixer and this is a fabulous opportunity to bring the beauty and the warmth of the sunflower into your kitchen.

There are actually three Kitchenaid stand mixers available that we consider sunflower colored and Kitchenaid calls those colors Tangerine, Yellow Pepper and Buttercup. We love the tangerine mixer show here and we all know you can really bake with this workhorse in your kitchen. (You can learn more about this mixer on Amazon by clicking right here.)

What do you think? Would this Kitchenaid mixer be the perfect accessory for a sunflower themed kitchen?
