Description:

Does your kitchen need an update? Sick of the color/appliances/cupboard/countertop/floor??? Yeah, me too.

While we can't help each other out with any major household DIY projects, we CAN send each other a little bit of cheer via the USPS. This swap is meant to bring a little cheer and perhaps some color into our lives. Each swapper will send their partner a package of goodies to help "update" their kitchen. Ideas are as follows but certainly not limited to:

dish clothes

dish towels

placemats,

napkins - cloth or paper

cute kitchen-y plaques

recipe box

tea pot cozy

toaster covers

yummy smelling candles

iced tea spoons

kitchen gadgets

pot holders

oven mitts

cute fridge magnets

Stained glass window decorations

something your partner collects in their kitchen.

Please send minumum 2-3 NEW or HANDMADE items to your partner totaling about $10 before shipping. If you crochet beautiful potholders and want to send a few, just include something else as well. In this way, the $10 suggestion can be pushed aside since you created the items.

ALSO, please include a favorite recipe. You may write it out on a cute recipe card or print it nicely from your computer. It's always fun to see what other people enjoy eating and maybe finding a new favorite as well!

Please read your partners profile so that you know you are sending them some joy. If you would like, PLEASE FEEL FREE to post any specifics here below. Perhaps you collect tea cups in your kitchen or LOVE the color blue....add it below as a friendly guideline for your swap partner.

Please, if you cannot complete this swap, don't join. I can't angel (and shouldn't have to) a swap of this size.

There will be other similar swaps to follow...geared toward other rooms in our homes.

HAPPY SWAPPING!

I was looking through profiles of those who joined and interestingly enough, most of us so far are Michiganders! LOL! Maybe we COULD help each other with DIY household projects! (who am I kidding??? I HATE that stuff! LOL!)

This is such a cute idea. I unfortunately will not be able to join, but Heather is awesome and will take care of you for sure. =D

My kitchen is painted a sage-y green and has white cupboards. It's small and it drives me nuts, but hey, it's HOME. I collect vintage vacation destination plates - my friends grandmother used to and ever since I was small I thought they were cool. My mother thinks it's weird. I also have some small milk glass pieces on a shelf along with some vintage hand towels. I love candles with spicey or edible scents..

I have all black and steel appliances and my kitchen is so far decorated in a coffee theme..love dish towels and oven mitts..plus anything vintage..

My kitchen has a ton of light colored wood cupboards. the applicances are all white and there is a grey/brown mix tile as a backsplash and counter. I am a big coffee/tea person and I love to bake. my boyfriend is really into the fishing theme throughout the house. A toaster cosy would be cool or one for the toaster oven. A treat jar for the dogs would also be nice but whatever anyone gets me is appreciated. I just figured I'd throw out a few ideas in case someone gets stumped.

I have more info in my profile, but my kitchen is pale green and I try to accessorize it with green and pale yellow / cream colors, and white. :)

my kitchen has a somewhat "tuscan" theme - all black appliances, black marble-like countertops, brown wood cabinets. I love pretty dish towels and kitchen gadgets/utensils - and im a sucker for pretty aprons (especially vintage ones)

Had to join, being there were so many Michiganders, maybe its because we all have to hang out in our kitchens our states economy is so bad we can't afford to eat out - lol! Anyways, I just bought a new "old" house in Feb. and I completely renovated it, did it all myself except the counter, which I hired done. It is retro - all black and white with black appliances. I do have a little red thrown in for color. I have a couple of those "fat" chef paintings on the wall. I love to cook and the kitchen is my haven and I love kitchen gadgets. And anything with those "fat" chefs would be so cool!

phew! So glad I caught this in time!! I have so much mismatched stuff...AND, we are getting ready to renovate our kitchen. :-) My walls are going to be a cheery yellow with white woodwork. And my "theme" is the old country style roosters.
