I was delighted when I recd these pics from Anpu. She is a versatile cook, and it shows in her kitchen! I am officially on a break, but hey! when I get kitchen pics like these, I would rather be blogging:)..Over to Anpu!

Hey everyone…When Sharon & Rekha invited me to participate in the “Cooks Nook” event…I was a little hesitant, as I have a simple kitchen and though I love to cook and try out new recipes, I do not spend more time than necessary in this area. Now the area, I actually spend quite a bit of time is the breakfast place, that overlooks the garden…
When I moved in last year, my aunt came over to help me organize the place. As both of us have a similar style, we had a good time, putting together the pots & pans, arranging the plants, and the little accessories everywhere.
Check out the pictures and feel free to drop in a comment…

Anpu, that's a lovely kitchen..loved the way you have colored the kitchen with knick-knacks and greenery. But, how so maintain that white kitchen white?
Anpu, what a light bright beautiful kitchen. All that green of the plants against the super clean white looks fabulous! Love the Turkish accessories – yes, we too have those tea glasses, love the antique brass vessels, and your pantry….so neat! Do you arrange everything alphabetically??? Really lovely!
Anpu, you have a window ledge to die for :). Beeeeautiful kitchen. Loved it.
Seeing so many lovely kitchens has inspired me to make mine look prettier. I call it the Keybunch Kitchen project 😉
