Guest Picks: Whip Up Kitchen Cheer With Aqua and Red
Cool blue and hot red accessories are foolproof ingredients of a jaunty kitchen with a hint of vintage
I’ve always loved red and aqua together, and I find the scheme to be especially fun in a kitchen. It feels both happy and vintage, which are two of my favorite things. As I was recently planning a kitchen bridal shower that relied heavily on this classic color combination, I found myself lusting over the beautiful kitchen items. Here are a few of my favorite finds. — Kim from NewlyWoodwards
