My Kitchen Corner
It's been a long time (2 or 3 years) since I shared any photos of my kitchen. I suppose it's because I don't like to go over the same room again and again. Sometimes that can be a bit stale and boring for me. But on the flipside, I end up not sharing things for years. I think I need some balance…somewhere betweeen "one time only" and "overboard".
This little corner shelf is probably my favorite spot in my kitchen. It's near the large (and only) window where I keep a few plants and cut flowers. We use the shelf for our everyday dishes. It makes it very handy to just grab a cutting board and a plate or bowl for meal prep. I often change the vignette out with the seasons and right now, it's citrus season in California!
Many of you know about my obsession with bread boards. Some women collect shoes…me, bread boards. I've had them shipped to me from as far away as Belgium. It's a sickness I tell you.
I bought the wicker basket tray years ago from Pottery Barn. But I'm sure they still have similar ones available. I love the warmth and texture that wicker and wood can add to a space.
My old glass candy jar is from the Alameda Flea Market. I purchased it from one of my favorite dealers, Grenouille. They have the best finds! Probably much of the flatware is from them as well…and the cafe au lait bowls.
The art piece sitting next to the jar was a gift from the amazing Junk Girls. It's made from salvaged trumpet pieces and the top part is a clip to attach a note, postcard or quote. (Note to self: should have put one in before taking this photo!) The Junk Girls gave up corporate life to pursue making art. And they have the best sense of humor and wonderful spirit. Adore them!
The metal relief wall piece is actually a candle holder for the table. See how the flowers have openings for candlesticks? I think it makes for pretty wall art. 🙂
Most of my ironstone is from flea markets or antique shops. Hard to pass it up wherever I am!
I keep my shallots and garlic in a gravy boat. I love that it has an attached plate. The lid was missing when I bought it. Luckily, I also love a cast off piece without it's mate.
Most of the utensils in the crock are mis-matched pieces. I keep jam spoons, butter knives and a few other utensils at the ready for making a quick breakfast of toast and tea or coffee.
I hope you liked visiting my favorite little corner. Some of you have been here before (3 years ago!) and to you…I'm sorry I didn't have you back sooner. Terrible manners! Thanks for sticking around all this time. And to those of you who are new…welcome. So glad you stopped by!

Thank you so much for sharing this again. We also have a cutting board obsession. Something about cutting the lemon in the morning for tea. Have a great weekend.
Heather~are you kidding? I LOVE seeing photos of your home! Keep em coming! Who cares if they are repeats when they look as good as this! I recently just added a basket to my kitchen, not as big as yours, but just for oils and salt and pepper! Love everything you do and your photography is AMAZING! Melaine
Always gorgeous! Love your kitchen and those gorgeous breadboards.

I love this corner of your kitchen!! I saw the picture of it years ago and it inspired me to have a shelf in my kitchen!! 🙂 And beadboard. 🙂 I absolutely love the collected look of your corner! 🙂
I love everything about this corner, Heather. The bread boards and the wicker basket are my favorites.
Gorgeous little kitchen corner ♥
And I love your breadboard collection ~ the Maple leaf caught my Canadian eye 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend Heather.
Your little nook is absolutely stunning! I’m new to your blog, but so excited to see the rest of your home 🙂
Always love a sneak peak into your home, your decorating is amazing Heather! Love the shelf filled with white dishes and ironstone. The basket and breadboard collection make it all so warm and cozy.
SO beautiful! I heart your collection of ironstone!
I’ve been here from the beginning, but I will never grow tired of seeing beautiful glimpses into your lovely home and life! thanks for sharing 🙂
I really like that little piece of “jewelry” next to the white shelves. It would be nice to see an “overview” shot of your kitchen. (I’m redoing mine soon, so the inspiration would be nice. 🙂
lovely. sigh. just lovely!!!
love every single thing about that corner- the bread boards are to die for!
Thanks for sharing, it made my day.
thank you so much for sharing this liitle niche. I love the idea of the bread boards in a basket and a splash of color coming out of your old white porcelain. I am smiling…
I too have an obsession for cutting boards, I still use them all the time, except for meat. The white ironstone has been a long time favorite. Have a happy early spring weekend. Hugs! Florence
What a beautiful spot:) I love it! Can you tell me where to get one of those pitchers in the far right of the top photo? the one that says 1000 Gr. on it? i’ve been looking for one of those for years. If you know where I can get one I would be delighted!
Thanks!
I’m painting my studio, love the color in the kitchen. Do you remember the color you used.
oh heather i love this. perfect timing. i am remodeling my kitchen and the contractor built me a little nook. you have given me such inspiration for it.
I love how you put everything together.Looks like a kitchen I would love to hang out in. Heather is awesome. Have a beautiful and creative weekend…Chickie
You’re a woman after my own heart Heather – been collecting ironstone (primarily white but a little bit of brown transfer ware is creeping in and I’m starting to lust after red too!)and all my breadboards are hidden away so I might just have to find a spot for them out of the closet! And I too noticed that lovely Canadian Maple Leaf! Is there a link to the past blogs on your kitchen for us newbies?
What a lovely corner of your kitchen! I have three wooden bread/chopping boards, but that I believe is a collection ;o)
Best wishes

Heather, so glad you decided to share your space again. It’s lovely! The crisp white with the natural basket tray & your bread boards are such a simple yet beautiful look. I would love to have your bread board collection.
Hello Heather~what I love is how you’ve created a charming vignette while utilizing this space to it’s fullest. It can be difficult at times for me to find space for my kitchen necessities. I agree the metal relief is the perfect accent to your wall decor. As always…you have brought me inspiration.
Sweet wishes,
Sara
What is it about the boards that we love so much I have four and still I keep my eye out for others! Your corner is so bright & cheery.
L O V E L Y… just lovely! (swoon)
Beautiful corner…I have a thing for egg cups and honeypots…guess we all have our obsessions! I love your bread boards! Thanks for sharing your kitchen with us..your shelves are beautiful with all the ironstone.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Heather! So fun to be back. lol Every single part of that corner is fabulous. ♥
What a lovely corner of your kitchen. I’ve never thought of having a cute corner, perhaps it would detract from the rest of the room – which I really want to change but can’t right now. Love that you use everything and don’t just have it on display. Some great inspiration, as always.x
very good……………
Really lovely. I find a lot of pleasure looking at arranged shelves or corners in my kitchen too. Do you switch things up? I get bored after a while and want to see different things. (Artist, lol)
Last time I saw this kitchen it looked very different, much more “fussy”. Needless to say, I love the sneak peek. Could you show us more? So talented!
I’m glad I stopped by too. I love your little corner of the world. How funny, about your bread boards. Aren’t we all a little crazy about silly things we collect. But I love your collection…..is there one that is in the shape of an oak leaf? Can’t really tell, but it looks interesting. Great photos. Thanks for sharing.
you have inspired me for sure here! love all the bread and cutting boards in a basket…i have to do that! the candle holder as wall relief is an excellent idea too. everything as well as the photos is just gorgeous!
Just love getting a peek into any room or corner of your house. You have such great style. I am always slightly green after seeing it all. Never too much! Anytime…..
I think you should show everything again. There are always little changes and I love seeing it all over again.
Inspiring! So bright and cheery. Love it!
Heather it’s just beautiful! I love the breadboard, the shelving the bread boards, everything! thank you for sharing!! Susan
❤ the white dishes! Everything looks so fresh and beautiful.
So pretty and inviting…XoXo
I love this little nook!! Can you please tell me where you found your shelves? I have been looking everywhere for similar shelves and cannot find them anywhere. Thanks!
I can imagine how gorgeous your whole kitchen looks like judging by these photos. Aww… That candy jar is a good idea. That bowl of lime and lemons adds to that fresh and clean aura.
I love the photos! You have amazing ideas! Where did you find the white shelves? I’ve been looking for months for some like that and can’t find them anywhere 🙁
Thanks!
Love the white stacked dishes – One of my favorite things!!!
Where did you get the shelf and brackets? I am in love and would love to do a few in my kitchen?
You have very beautiful kitchen corner, the white color makes it look so clean. If I will renovate my kitchen I want to have a pure white corner in my kitchen, so lovely.
Found you through My Sweet Savannah…just gorgeous! I’m off to explore the rest of your site…cheers!
Hello Heather, thanks for sharing these beautiful photos. I love the color on your kitchen walls, can you share what it is? Thanks!
I have also been looking for shelves like that….. Where did you find them???
I love the warmth and realness to all of it…the wood cutting boards, the shallots and garlic in a little dish, the jar of mixed utensils…so pretty.
