Inspired by the Less is More Kitchen Colors Challenge
I used to have an enormous Coke Collection when my kids were younger! My whole kitchen was Coca Cola, ceiling fan, dishes, you name it - it was all Coke! It all started with a cabinet I bought at a craft fair - I still have that cabinet in my craft room. I don't drink Coke (Coke Zero maybe once in a while) but I just liked the logo and the red and got hooked!
My woman cave-that cabinet on the bottom right started it all...
When we downsized after becoming empty nesters, I took a lot of it up to my office and classroom at school. But then I retired and had nowhere to put it all! So I got rid of a lot of my Coke stuff. I only saved the really unique, one of a kind things like birdhouses and other things made from antique coke crates, coke cans and bottles. So there are the colors of my kitchen - white cabinets, tan walls and countertop, black and silver appliances, and the red for the Coca Cola accents!
