Today Mr Nylon is looking relaxed and worry free.
You may remember when we last left Mr Nylon (quite some time ago) he was in despair over the chaos in his kitchen. (He never did get that coffee he was after.)
Finally the decorator has been by and transformed the kitchen to look more like the country style dream Mr Nylon's wife Silky had in mind.
Mr Nylon is especially pleased with the look of the new picture rail.
Decorators tip: The picture rail is made from a piece of wood with lace glued onto it, then painted.
The decorator has a penchant for gingham...and blue...but was unable to procure enough of that beautiful blue gingham wallpaper to do the whole room. Fortunately the blue in the ginham worked perfectly with the previous wallpaper at the top of the walls. (I always thought that the top wallpaper was perfect for the kitchen but it was a little too drab for my liking.)
It looks like Silky is getting the butlers sink she has always wanted! Bri would have installed a dishwasher but the likelihood of one being constructed in the next decade is very slim. He is standing where the new oven will go...it's been under construction for about 9 months now.
It was a challenge to find something just right for the cupboard fronts...it took many hours of searching and experimenting to find this gorgeous print. It came from the back of a wonderful Mary Englebreit card sent by Katie. The print was just the right scale.
So there you have it, a new country kitchen for Bri Nylon.
As you can see there is still plenty of work to be done. But the good news is the decorator has almost made it to the end of the school holidays...another week and she will have some TIME to finish the job!

It's a great kitchen, I love the wallpaper and the fact you've got two on the wall, it makes it brighter. I also like what you put on the doors of the cupboards, it makes me think of Cath Kidston.

I just found your blog, as I was searching for miniatures. I just completed my first dollhouse and now I'm ready to furnish it. I adore your shabby chic kitchen! Today I knitted on two straight pins a little scarf, left attached to the 'needles'. I'm obsessed with miniatures now! Where do you find is the best place to buy furnishings? Any help is appreciated! GREAT blog!

I think maybe I should fly Mr Nylon's decorator south to help me choose feature bits and pieces for the upstairs coastal/beach room in my 'real world' cottage that I'm working on at the moment ;)

I am really behind here but it looks fabulous...Mr Nylon must be very happy :-)
