I am WILD about solid colored kitchenware. Vintage, new, but a variety of color is so inspiring to me.

(my one exception is Otagiri mugs which have crazy pictures on them and are all hand designed!)

My plates/bowls are all Fiesta, brightly lining my cabinets and hanging from the mug tree in my kitchen. I love mix-matching the different colors ... cobalt blue bowls and paprika colored plates, lime green saucer with a cornflower yellow mug. Mixing Pyrex bowls- just kill me! They are so cool with all the wild colors!

I JUST LOVE IT! 

The colors bring joy to me, my kichen is a gathering place and the place I share the most with people with food or coffee.

Another kitchen MUST HAVE is my Melitta. I prefer two brewing mechanisms; my BUNN and my manual Melitta pour over. I love the conveince of my BUNN, but on a morning where I can laze around the house reading books and cleaning, I enjoy my Melitta. I like making cup by cup. I like having a cup of one variety of coffee and switching to another too, so the Melitta gives me that ability.

 

 While searching Etsy the other night I came across a little shop that had a lot of coffee accessories. I had to look. I own a vintage Melitta, with a little hard plastic filter holder and a beautifully designed carafe. I found it at Court Days, sometimes you can find little vintage booths (yard sales) there. I have used it a handfull of times and absolutely love it. In this Etsy store I found lots of SOLID COLORED Melitta makers.

I had no clue that Melitta made these, most of them are vintage, but the are so great! I love that they came with a ceramic carafe and a solid colored, matching filter holder.

Now I need one!

I wanted to share a few things that inspire me; coffee & certain vintage items. I love what I do and finding two things that go together in both areas is a lot of fun.
