As you will know if you read my blog frequently, I recently moved house. I’ve now turned my attention to making my kitchen (my favourite room in the house) look good.
No matter how small your kitchen is, there is always some way to inject personality – ornaments, a clock, pictures? I love vintage and try to get a bit of it into my everyday life, including my kitchen.
This Newgate clock is fantastic, it looks like its come straight from an old railway station and as well as being useful it looks great. I have this very clock, it was a wedding present from my siblings, but you can get yours in large or small from John Lewis.
If your budget is a bit smaller, I’ve found a very similar clock online at Asda for a fraction of the cost… but then it’s not a Newgate is it?
If you have hooks for utensils, why not use one of the hooks for something other than your spoons and spatulas. I love this litte dove – its a simple idea but an easy way to add some personality into your kitchen.
Chalk boards are available everywhere and don’t take too much space up on the wall. Again, mine is vintage styled because that’s what I like but you can get allsorts and they don’t cost the earth. Also, great Xmas present idea!
Amazon has some nice styles, these ones are my favourites..

| I love this one! |
Next on my list for my kitchen are some tin signs for the walls. My dad has some old oxo advertising signs in his kitchen and they look amazing!
That clock is gorgeous, how I'd love to decorate right now. But putting nice things in shabby student houses doesn't really add up haha!

You should have seen my kitchen in 3rd year, it was a shoe box with a sink and a cooker in it! You could reach all the cupboards from the doorway! Once you get a kitchen of your own which isn't full of other peoples washing up, you'll have to get that clock! 🙂
