Need new and creative DIY kitchen decor ideas? Is your kitchen a lovely center of creativity and beauty or one of clutter and chaos? Recently, I realized I spent more time in my kitchen than in just about any other room in the house, and yet I had paid so little attention to the decor details. 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.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
