Welcome to Week 5 of the One Room Challenge! That means only one week left until I reveal my kitchen makeover! I've been doing a lot of painting in the last 5 weeks and I'm very excited to show you the reveal. I've been showing you a lot of painting progress lately, so today I want to show some of the accessories I have planned to style my kitchen - which, by the way, is currently an eat-in kitchen, so lots of opportunities for tabletop displays!
Before I get into the details, you can catch up on my progress during this challenge here:
Here are some of the tabletop items I'm planning on using:
If you've been following my progress, then you already know that my walls and cupboards are grey and white, respectively. So as you can see, I'm going for a very coordinated look with my styling. But don't worry, if you know me, you know that I'll be injecting colour somewhere into this space. :)
Speaking of colour, I saw this picture earlier this week and was really inspired - I now want to create a wall of cookbook art!

I'm already in possession of two IKEA Ribba wall ledges in brown that I purchased over 5 years ago and yes, they are still in their original packaging. I never found the right place to use them, and I think they have been waiting all this time to fulfill their destiny. I just need to spray paint them white and they are ready to serve their purpose. I'm so jazzed to show off my cookbooks, the covers are a work of art.
A couple of other items I'll be adding...
This IKEA kitchen island:
This marble mortar and pestle that I've had forever and stored in a cupboard, but finally I'm going to display on my countertop:
Aaaaand that's all for now. I need to have a few surprises for the reveal. :)
I hope you'll come back next week to see the full reveal of my kitchen makeover! I'm also planning to do a Periscope broadcast the weekend following my reveal, so stay tuned for details on that, and make sure to connect with me on Twitter in the meantime @lesleymetcalfe_
