Hello my friends,
it's easy to create a Valentine's theme when your kitchen is mostly red and white.
That's the case with our basement kitchen.
It's been almost 4 years since we finished our basement. I wanted it to have a farmhouse feel, so I opted for some open shelving.
I filled them with mostly white dishes, striving for a
simplistic look.
simplistic look.
For Christmas I added a lot of red and green. When I began to change it up afterwards I thought, why not leave the red out until after Valentines Day.
A sweet heart, a gift from a blog/Instagram friend was tucked into one of the bowls.
My love for polka dots and checks remains evident. (wink)
I've always had a thing for vintage tins as well. Just something about the fabulous graphics!
More reds that make my heart swoon!
And I've never met a cherry that I didn't like. :)
And that leads me to my new purchase from Hobby Lobby.
Big, gorgeous red cherries.
I placed them on the kitchen table along with a jar full of cookie cutters. A couple heart ones were pulled out for display. The cute checkered placemats were a Christmas gift from myfriend, Amanda.
I snagged this bench at a yard sale. I painted it red and added the grain sack stripe and number.
I've mentioned that I am helping with an estate sale. I've been pretty good at not buying alot, but there are a few things that I just couldn't pass up.
One of them were these cute trivets. The S&P/sugar set belonged to my hubbies grandmother.
And look at this giant rolling pin. I tried hard to resist it!! Just couldn't after my friend, Joanne placed it on top of my hoosier.
Now I need to elevate my red & white enamelware.
See that darling scalloped paper? I brought it home from Portugal.
Now you know how this girl rolls. (pun intended).
A little love from my "Valentines" kitchen to yours!
hugs,
Jann

I love your kitchen! It is so cheerful and warm. I love the red & white and all the vintage items you have! Happy Valentine's Day!
I don't suppose I could move into your basement, could I? In an adorable kitchen like that, I'd be happy to cook and serve for you all, all day long! I love every single inch of it. You have no idea what a big smile it put on my face when I opened the post and this joyful image popped out at me. I'm holding this one in my heart!
How lucky you are to have so much display shelving in your kitchen!! Mine is so small I have no wall space at all, and very little over the cabinets. I love your red and white! All your vintage goodies were fun to see.
What lovely vintage pieces you have!! The red and white reminds me of my daughter. She loves it together, and uses it throughout her downstairs. So farm style. Thanks for sharing all your pretties!!
LOVE!LOVE!LOVE! WOw! the cutest EVER !! I'm inspired !!
This kitchen looks like out of the pages of a magazine! So adorable and who doesn't love red and white!

I want your basement kitchen as my main kitchen! If I ever change my kitchen décor, your sweet decorating has convinced me that I want a red and white one. So farmhouse, so vintage, so quaint!
I love it! =)

Hi Jann, I could type a list of everything that I love in your kitchen, but it would be longer than your post:) So, to make it short I'll make a list of what I don't like: Absolutely nothing :) You have been collecting for a long time and it shows in so much personality and charm. Love It!!!
Love it all but I can barely keep one kitchen clean! How do you do it?
What a fun red kitchen Jann, especially for Valentine's day!
I just love your kitchen and all the red accessories!
What a happy place! I love how you've styled your open shelving with your collection of red & white. The whole room is brimming with charm from top to bottom. Thanks so much for sharing, Jann!
Oh I just LOVE your red kitchen and the open shelves. I'd love to have some in my kitchen.
Beautiful! It makes me want to rearrange things in my kitchen!
My younger brother is named Rex, and he would get a kick out of that lard can! Leave it to you to decorate a kitchen for Valentines! You are a sweet heart!
Your kitchen is so fun and happy Jann. I love all the pops of red!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS LOOK!
Especially the polka dots!
Hi Jann,
Your kitchen is bright and cheerful. Love all your red and white. Happy Valentine's Day.
Hugs,

A red and white kitchen always makes my heart skip a beat!
I'm coveting that HUGE rolling pin!!
I love it, Jann! Such a happy & cheerful space!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! So cheerful.
Happy Valentine's, Jann.
Hello new friend, your valentine kitchen is so sweet! Smart cookie leaving the Reds out from Christmas. I have to tell you I came over because your blog name intrigued me, I thought who in the world would want more of Mrs. Olsen? Let me explain... I have been binge watching Little house on the prairie, even just blogged about it. So when i saw the name I couldn't help myself now im here laughing. Why your not like her at all. Well I hope you don't think I'm too nuts. I promise im not well not in a bad way lol Hope you are having a wonderful Valentine's Day.
What an adorable basement kitchen you have, Jann! What a cheery Valentine's theme.
It's not Instagram so I can't type a thousand red hearts to say how much I love your kitchen!
Oh my goodness Jann! I love the red and white and your kitchen is simply the cutest thing ever! Wish I could share a meal with you at your lovely table. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Jann, I love every detail of your charming kitchen and will be featuring it at tomorrow's Vintage Charm party! Hugs, Cecilia
