    Hey Monique!

    My kitchen sadly lacks a theme or a hint of even a hint of color…sigh!

    My favorite color for a kitchen would be yellow, I think! I grew up in a house with a cheery yellow kitchen.

    What a great give away! My kitchen is done in neutrals and sort of blends in with my family room. I have different hues of light blue accents throughout both spaces. I am really into browns and blues right now as far as decorating goes. I don’t really collect anything at the moment.

  10. Tara
    October 27th, 2008

    I would love one of these mini kitchen guides! My kitchen is neutral, but I have accents of red, brown, gold, and green. I have a few rooster deco items. Thanks!

  11. Erin-Joi

    Oh pooh! I would love to win one of these in my mom’s kitchen colors, blue and white (as seen in Spode http://www.spode.com/pattern/?navid=1&level=4&id=177&pgid=20 ). It would make a great gift.
    Unfortunately, I do not have a blog and do not facebook. Oh well, I guess I will just have to be green with envy.

    Looks like a cool gift. Thanks for the chance!

    I’m so pleased to see your mini-guide got the vote. It’s awesome.

    My kitchen, believe it or not, is Halloween-themed. Year ’round my pot holders and dish towels have Jack o’Lanterns, witchtes and black cats on them. Even my switch plates for the lights are covered with replicas of old Halloween cards. So anything black and orange or with a Halloween theme would be cool. I have my fingers crossed!

  16. Laser

    I guess I only have the one chance. I don’t have a blog nor an account on facebook. I am a senior and just can’t find enough hours in the day to do all I need to do.

    Would love the kitchen help though and my color is blue!

    Thanks for the opportunity to win :)

  17. Christina
    October 27th, 2008

    My kitchen used to be country blue- now it’s a dark red. In 2 years we are doing a complete gut and remodel of the space and it will be mostly fall colors. Reds, browns, greens, golds adn whatever else strikes my fancy.

  18. Rachel R.
    October 27th, 2008

    That is so cool! My kitchen is red and black, with chickens. (Kind of a modern country. Totally doesn’t coordinate with the rest of my house! lol)

  19. kicksmom
    October 27th, 2008

    This is an adorable and very useful idea. I don’t have a color or theme in my kitchen but seem to gravitate toward using white and blue (french blue or navy) throughout my home. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Also, thanks for sharing your recipes.

  20. Stephanie
    October 27th, 2008

    I am very boring. I don’t have a color or theme in my kitchen and I no longer collect anything. However my favorite color is purple, maybe that would work. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    October 27th, 2008

    My kitchen doesn’t really have a theme other than using my favorite color “hunter green”. The tiles are the dark green, but my hubby drew the line at the counters being that color. So, I compromised and the counters are a type or sea green.

Still haven’t gone all the way though.

  42. Jennifer M
    October 27th, 2008

    We have black appliances and red accessories (paper towel holder, etc…) and some rooster decor. We’ve just started, but I’m hoping it looks a little French and adds some pop of color to an otherwise bland kitchen.

  87. Tiffany
    October 27th, 2008

    The theme of my kitchen is basically spring. We recently tore up the ugly carpet that was in there and replaced it with pretty off-white (with pink, blue and green florals in the center) vinyl tile, put up some nice floral paneling and have found a bunch of nifty kitchen things here and there and match. My husband says it’s “tea rose” theme because it started with four burner covers from Pfaltzgraff.

    My kitchen is pretty girly though, and I love it :-D
