{ Sources-My Kitchen }

Good Morning! How are you all doing today? I started the morning off with a cup of french pressed coffee in bed. Today is my day off, and so far I'm enjoying every moment of it.

But enough about me. Let's move on to the good stuff. The Kitchen. If you're just now joining us, I'm going through the sources of where I got everything featured in my home tour for The Everygirl.  Hope you enjoy!

Table: An antique gifted to me by a family friend that I used to nanny for, because she had just moved into a new home and didn't have a place for it. I loove this table. First of all, it's on casters. My mom says that I love anything on wheels. She's right. This table is actually a full length, six person dining table. However, I just could not fit the darn thing in my apartment. There was no place for it. After going back and forth between selling it or sticking it awkwardly in a corner somewhere (because I really wanted to keep it) I decided just to tweak it a little work with the space. See, there used to be a leaf for this table, so the two ends of it were actually disconnected, and only attached by a piece of wood and some screws underneath. So, I unscrewed and pried the piece of wood off to detach the two pieces, giving me two separate tables. I use one of them in my kitchen (pictured above) and the other as my desk (photos to come soon!) The beauty of this arrangement is that it will be really easy to attach them again if I move and am able to fit a large dining table in my home. Phew.

Shelf: The actual shelf is from the "As Is" section of Ikea. I'm actually not entirely sure what it's use was supposed to be. It was just laying there with a bunch of other pieces of wood, but it was way cheaper to get this than to get the other shelves that they had in the regular section. I did pick up the brackets in that section though! I think overall the entire shelf probably cost somewhere around $10-12.

Pear Art: My mom found this at a garage sale back home in Texas, and I snuck off with it at Christmas :). Is it not the most precious thing you've ever seen?! I love it.

Latte Mugs: Originally from Pottery Barn, but I picked them up at a local thrift store down the street for around $2 each. I love them.

All other white dishes: from Ikea.

Ceramic Vase: Big Lots

Good Morning coffee mug: World Market ( I don't see it on their website anymore though :( )

Gold Bread Knife: This is actually the cheapest knife set that Ikea has to offer (you know, the ones with the plastic, colorful handles?). I just spray painted the handles gold!

I hope you guys found these posts useful! I've still got a post with tips and tricks up my sleeve, along with some examples of sources that I bet you haven't considered yet! Stay tuned :)

Thank you all so much for stopping in today. lovelovelove.
