 I am having a slow weekend. I have been feeling really run down lately from lack of sleep.... looking after a toddler is really hard work!!!

However, along with the whirlwind, now Alex is a little bit older there are also periods where he can entertain himself for longer than before and I am enjoying more of those important moments where I am able to reflect and daydream.... and spend time in the kitchen cooking yummy healthy food from scratch...

... with this extra time in the kitchen I am also re-rembering and noticing all the repairs and alterations I had wanted to make before Alex came along. The cupboards are tired and the floor is in need of a desperate re-do, but with our post baby budget and lack of time, all these things are not going to get done for ages....

...My daydream of a beautiful hand built kitchen with hand painted tiles may happen one day, but for now I am learning to accept the kitchen as it is for it contains all the things that actually matter..... fresh herbs and vegetables, wooden spoons, jars for my spices, and a growing collection of handmade crockery... these are the things that really matter ..... These are the items that help me prepare the food to nourish my growing family...

Lovely readers I need some advice/ feedback....
I am not sure how long we are going to be staying in our current house but it 'needs a new' kitchen. The question is, in a house you may want to sell in a few years do I paint it how you want (homely and probably turquoise) or go for a standard shop brought 'clean, crisp, white' kitchen that would appeal to most people to help sell the house?

Comparing the above pictures to my mound of sterile kitchen catalogues I am pretty sure which way I am leaning, but it is still a conundrum. Do you think too much personal taste would deter you as a buyer?

Bold Statement Tiles...

Hand Painted Tiles - Awesome DIY Project
I am on the prowl for some kitchen tile inspiration. When I brought my house last August I promised myself the first thing I would do was get rid of the horrendous peach flowery kitchen tiles (see image below). I honestly dont know what possessed the last owner to put these up.

I am on a bit of a small budget so tile paint may have to be a quick fix, whilst I dream and save for a beautiful Moroccan inspired kitchen.

Not even a million pretty Spice Jars will disguise these Tiles!

It doesn't have to be Grand or Stylish. You dont have to have matching designer pans or an expensive wizzy-machine. What makes a great kitchen is born from passion, where food is made from the heart, even if it is just a crisp sandwich and a glass of Ribena...

I love the pictures I find for Moon to Moon, but I often find myself wondering what type of people live in these houses. What do they do? what do they look like? and how do they interact with their homes?

So I have put together these pictures of people in their kitchens, cooking, making tea and doing yoga. The kitchen is my favourite room :)

I have a series of Readers homes posts that will be recommencing soon, I have been so busy packing for my move I haven't made time to put them up yet....if you are interested in taking part drop me an e-mail at..... moontomoon@live.co.uk

Fabulous Tiles ....

The beautiful tiles add a would add a sense of the fabulous to any kitchen


Beautiful bohemian vintage tiles



Copper pot, tiles and baby blue sink

Beautiful hand painted tiles
I have surprised myself by loving these Mirror tiles

After years of renting and moving from house to house I have finally had an offer on a house accepted.....Eeek!

I am trying not to get my hopes up as there is so much that can go wrong, but.......... being a bit obsessed with interiors (don't know if you have noticed) I have of course spent a fair bit of time dreaming about removing the vile bathroom tiles currently in place and replacing them with something a little more exciting.

Nice tiles are so expensive, to cover a whole room or area would cost me a fortune that sadly i don't have however a small area over a sink (as below) or even a beautiful tile border surrounding cheaper plain tiles is a little more affordable.


A simple internet search will bring up some great links to a variety of tile shops. I have been drooling over fired earth!!

All Tea Towels Give away

It has been a fair while since I did a give away on Moon to Moon, so I was delighted when Al from all-tea-towels.co.uk got in touch to offer me two tea towels to review and a further two as a give away of course I graciously accepted.

After looking at his site I fell instantly  in love with the illustrated Tunnock's Tea towel below (not sure if international readers have Tunnock's tea cakes but they are the yummiest things ever!) so the first choice was a no brainer.


The coolest tea towel ever!! Tunnock's teacake tea towel 

I was not disappointed with my choice, It is a screen printed picture on 100% unbleached cotton so it is really, really good quality and although now I have tested it to ensure it had good absorbency (which it did) the design is so awesome I think I may frame it to go on my kitchen wall. Awesome!!

The second tea towel was harder to choose as there were so many good ones but I eventually chose the Nautical knots tea towel below. When I was younger I went to Sea cadets where I learnt not only to sail and row and canoe but also tie knots and I remember being so proud of my first figure of eight ( I know, I was a cool kid right? ha ha). 

Nautical Knots, bends and Hitches tea towel
This towel is again really good quality and is made of 100% linen. It did require soaking first to increase the absorbency but it was truly worth it, it is a great tea towel. The only problem with the tea towels is now they make my old ratty ones look even rattier and gross. Maybe its time I replaced them all.

So to the Give away. Al from 'all tea towels' has kindly agreed for one lucky reader to choose 2 tea towels of their own, to shipped to anywhere in the world. All you have to do to enter the give-away is sit back with a cuppa tea and browse 'all tea towels' and leave ONE comment below with details of your chosen tea towels ( if you cant be contacted via your blog- please leave your email address in the comment) and 'like' all tea towels on facebook - oh and be following Moon to Moon :)

The winner will be chosen by a picking a name out of a hat, obviously at random on Monday the 6th February....

Good Luck xxx Gabi xxx

I have so many wonderful kitchen images that this post has seen a few edits before posting. My favourite is the beautiful bohemian style kitchen in the first picture, I can imagine eating a good hearty stew and home made bread created in this kitchen, perfect for the freeeeeezing winter days here in England.
