Need new and creative DIY kitchen decor ideas? Is your kitchen a lovely center of creativity and beauty or one of clutter and chaos?

I received a chalkboard organizer for Christmas and that really got me starting to think about what else my kitchen needed. When my sister was visiting last week, we looked at Pinterest to find some of our favorite ideas for my house, and I wanted to share this list of cool kitchen ideas with you. From menu boards to bottles and baskets, these decor ideas work well for either rustic or modern looks. Check out the easy to follow step by step tutorials and start redecorating your kitchen with DIY style.
