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.)

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.
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.
