Bohemian Kitchen Inspiration

I got up early this morning determined to finally get to work on sprucing up my kitchen. It’s been painted red for far too long now. Like YEARS too long. While I still love the color red I’m tired of seeing it. Plus. NOW. I’m ready to embrace who I truly am and decorate accordingly (thank you midlife!).

Not how a trend or pretty magazine says I should. Not even how my family & friends think I should.

I’m ready to embrace by bohemian, gypsy, heart (and quite likely ancestry) and decorate accordingly.

I’ve been browsing Pinterest and some of the books I have here on my shelf and come up with a plan. Or the beginnings of a plan. I don’t really PLAN. I just kind of wing it until I get a look I like. Then I keep adding and taking away until I decide to clear it back to bare walls and start all over again.

I like to shop the thrift stores, my basement and attic and see what I can come up with on the cheap. That’s how I really decorate.

But here are some of my bohemian kitchen thoughts –

  • Lighten up the wall color – will have to prime the walls to cover the red
  • Add original artworks and prints
  • Add textiles and plants
  • Decorate with items already on hand
  • Tear out the cheap fiberboard backing behind the stove
  • Add a crazy big mirror somewhere
  • Find something to do with my cookbooks – make them look prettier
  • Something interesting on top of the fridge
  • Turn an old radio into a blue tooth speaker
  • This room needs more light

Here are some of the books I own and leaf through on a regular basis –

    I love the bohemian colors and style too. I also love to find deals and decorate without
    spending a “fortune”. That way I can redo when I want, without being held back because
    of how much I spent before.

      Yes! Pam.
      People who are constantly doing big-time remodels…I don’t know where they get their money.
      And while I do love my home I need to be saving some too. Ya know?
