apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

beautiful. anyone know where those chairs came from?

i love this.
i'd be thrilled if this were my kitchen!

*sigh* how nice this is!

Do you know what I want the Kitchen, and AT in general to do? I think that y'all should have a "I rent therefore I can not paint" week. All your posts would be themed around those of us with grumpy landlords who don't allow us to make any permanent changes to our apartments -- you could round up all your best ideas for those of us who live in beige-on-white rooms, with popcorn ceilings, 20 year old appliances, and greige colored wall-to-wall carpet.

My kitchen is the worst -- ugly appliances, ugly linoleum, ugly cabinetry, terrible lighting, and white walls...

Where did those ruffle flowers come from, or how can I make them?? Love this color of yellow, I have it in my living room and it just makes a happier home.

And mlleErica -- promise to paint it back and beg beg beg. I rent too, and I've painted EVERYTHING and nailed a thousand holes in the wall....screw the deposit, just paint.

I emitted a little *sigh* too :)

nice space

that's gorgeous! I painted every room in my rental (my yellow kitchen was a color called Pineapple Soda), just spackle all the holes and paint it back to white when you're about to move out and your landlord (unless he's a complete ahole) will refund your deposit.
just dont paint any walls brown or black- it'll take many days to cover up! every time i get the itch to paint my new apt i remember how big a pain it is to paint it back.

I love yellow kitchens and this is a great one! The flowers are also beautiful and look great against the yellow walls.
I saved today some of my yellow favorites:

Would be very happy to have any of these one day...

Oooo I love yellow kitchens.

i love the green walls in the bedroom complimenting the cheerful yellow kitchen. what color of green is on the bedroom walls? *sigh*...i wish i had as sunny of a kitchen as she does. Cooking would be fun again.

wow, i am jealous.

This kitchen is eerily similar to mine! I even have the same calendar with the cabbages on it, though if it's the same one, we should be on peas right now. :) The yellow on my walls is just a bit more pale, but otherwise pretty close.

I love yellow walls in a kitchen. Kitchens are so broken up with cabinets and appliances, it would be hard for the yellow to become overwhelming. It's sunny and cheerful.

I lovelove white cabinets.

Siiiigh.

I wish my kitchen got that much light.

Double sigh.

Hi guys - sorry a little late on answering questions.

Shlowzi - the chairs were from DWR years ago. Don't think they have them anymore.

RoseMars - you can get the flowers online here:

Lona - the green in my bedroom is Kelly Moore 'Pick of the Meadow'.

The funny thing about this is that the kitchen is really much more orange in person, but I love how it looks in the photos, too :).

thanks! - Leslie
