Madonna in the Kitchen?
Dolce Gabbana did an ad campaign recently featuring Madonna at home. The photo at the left is one of the shots. It shows Madonna doing dishes. The next time you face a kitchen sink full of dirty dishes, why not put on some Madonna tunes and a sexy outfit while doing all those dishes. Can't hurt. Someone might even offer to help.
Just like your Dolce Gabbana wardrobe, (ok, maybe the Banana Republic version), decorative kitchen decor can give you a lift. If you're like me, you probably spend more time in your kitchen than in your closet so why not turn ordinary kitchen decor, from kitchen rugs, tea towels, kitchen aprons, decorative hooks and more, into decorative kitchen decor?
Kitchens get a lot of wear and tear. A new dish towel, a fun cutting board, a Celia Birtwell mug or a fresh broom and dustpan set will freshen up kitchen decor. Kitchen accessories are an easy way to redecorate a kitchen without breaking the bank. Not everyone is rich as Madonna.

Kitchen Decor & Kitchen Accessories
DecorativeThings.com does not pretend to offer you everything a cook needs to stock a kitchen, since after all, our niche is decorative accessories for every room of the house. Yet to neglect such an important room would be unpardonable, so I offer you some decorative kitchen accessories that will add a little cheer to the pots and pans in your kitchen decor.
One of my favorite kitchen cookbooks on the subject Plats du Jour, (available above) includes excellent advice from 2 charming experts about what kitchen decor is important but even these experienced cookbook authors describe the hunt for kitchen accessories as a bit daunting:
"We know perfectly well many people live in far from modern homes and are cooking daily with possibly ancient but serviceable weapons. In discussing pots and pans, here the intention is not to revile old equipment but to run over a basic list of utensils for the sake of those who are setting up house for the first time or who need to replenish.
It is always disturbing to be confronted with the listed regalia of kitchen implements, a natural reaction to the disparity between an ideal condition and the existing facts. If one examines the Batterie de Cuisine in L'Art Menagere de la Cuisine Francaise, for instance, a feeling of despair is more likely to take posession of an English woman rather than an immediate resolution to acquire some of the articles mentioned."
We recommend you start with a few choice kitchen accessories to spruce up your kitchen decor.
Speaking of cookbooks, a well stocked kitchen library can be as important as the bookshelf in a study. Even kitchen cookbooks can be part of your kitchen decor. Our Persephone Press Plats du Jour and Kitchen Essays have endpapers that are taken from vintage designs and charming illustrations that are just what you would expect from cookbooks first issued in England in the early 1900's.

Everyone probably has a different favorite room in their home. But let's face it, many of us spend more time in the kitchen than any room of the house, so why not make your kitchen decor accessories as attractive as you can. When it comes time to get rid of that ordinary cutting board, trivet, kitchen rug, dustpan, kitchen apron, or kitchen towel, get new ones that are decorative so you can enjoy the whimsy of your kitchen accessories even when dinner is over and the dishes are done. One of the best investments you can make in kitchen decor is kitchen accessories. |  |
For outside the kitchen window, our bird houses are great fun and gifts for the person who has almost everything in the kitchen decor realm. And be sure to consider our indoor outdoor rugs for your patio or deck as well as your kitchen decor.
Whether you keep them on the counter, on the table, on the wall, on the floor or in the cabinets, I hope you find our kitchen decor accessories as useful, delicious and decorative as I do. |
