You may remember that I mentioned a while back that I’d been selected to be a Pride of Oven Pride Blogger for 2014. Well, I was recently set my first Pride of Oven Pride Blogger Challenge 1. It was going to be a very tough mission!
Oven Pride makes oven cleaning less of a nightmare than other cleaners, which therefore means you have lots more time on your hands to do more enjoyable things! I’d been set a challenge to spend that extra time sprucing up my kitchen. It was a hard challenge, but I forced myself to go shopping!
My kitchen is rather brown, varying shades and could certainly do with an injection of colour. Now I can just imagine you all thinking – this is Mary, this can only mean blue! Well I decided I’d live dangerously! This was a challenge after all. I’d push the boundaries. For my Pride of Oven Pride Blogger Challenge 1, I went …. Purple!
Now I know that a new rolling-pin and cutters are not technically going to make my kitchen look prettier, but they will make the things Monkey and I bake, look better! After all, thanks to Oven Pride, he has his own baking set, so I really needed to update mine too!
Even more amazing is the fact I went for a floral pattern! Quite unheard of, but I really liked it, I think it works well in the kitchen and brightens the room up. All I need now is for someone to buy me some flowers for my lovely new purple vase – hint to Daddy P!
disclaimer: I was compensated for this items purchased for this post.
Love purple!! You made the right decision there. Now I just hope Daddy P reads your blog (unlike Daddy M) and you’ll have some gorgeous flowers in that vase very soon! 🙂
Don’t be daft – he has no idea what the blog is called, let alone where to find it!!
I love the purple – those mugs are just gorgeous! Great choices!
I’m so pleased with myself!! Not blue and I love them, really brightened up the kitchen
What a fab first challenge! Shopping! I love your choices, the purple is lovely and I’m sure it will brighten your kitchen lots.
I know – shopping! I’m so pleased with the result. I went with duck egg blue in mind, but this was a much better idea.
Beautiful cups! I must say I have quite a few cups in the cupboard, but they don’t match and they are not as pretty. Perhaps I could get some lovely ones like yours! 🙂 x
Thanks, I have a mug cull every so often! It’s nice to have a new set to brighten the place up.
