AYA "BlodPodium Bound" Kitchen Contest

I am beyond excited to share with you my dream kitchen I designed for the AYA "BlogPodium Bound" Kitchen Contest. I would LOVE to attend BlogPodium The Business of Blogging Conference in May but with hundreds of kilometres between Vancouver and Toronto and cost of the weekend standing in my way, I decided to enter this fabulous contest in hopes of winning a flight, BlogPodium ticket and accommodations!

 What a dream it would be to finally meet those amazing bloggers out east that I have been in touch with for so long. Not to mention to hob nob with companies that would like to work with us! And the icing on the cake would be to hear the every so lovely Nicole Balch from Making it Lovely!

My fingers and toes are crossed!

I don't have fancy schmancy illustrators or Photoshop, so I just put together my dream kitchen using plain ol' PowerPoint.

Putting together my dream kitchen using Aya's products along with my own additions was incredibly gratifying and exciting! I spent many hours browsing AYA's website, inspired by all their kitchen designs. And this is what I came up with:

TA-DA!

#1: Aya Classic Birmingham Classic Thermafoil in Classic White

#2: Aya Classic Windsor cabinet in Pitch Black

#3: Aya Standard Knob in Antique English

#4: Aya Triangular Decorative Leg for bottom cabinets in Gold.

#5: Elkay Undermount Farm Apron Sink

#6: Studium NY: Maharajah Stripe 

#7: Thonet 210 P Bentwood Chair

#8: Viking Professional Custom Gas Range

#9: Aya Aspen Range Hood

#10: Wall colour : Sarah Richardson Paint by Para: Snowfall

#11: Zweibelmuster Blue Onion China

#12: Delta Faucets: Trinsic Single Handle Gooseneck Faucet

#13: Kitchenaid Pro 500 Series Mixer

#14: Circa Lighting: Hicks Pendant in Hand Rubbed Antique Brass

#15: Branch Handmade on Esty: 10 Speed Bike Bar Towel Set

Are you surprised? 

    Due to life's hiccups, buying a house is on hold, so a girl can only dream. My dream kitchen would incorporate my favourite colours, black, red and white, along with gads of marble and touches of gold. Paying homage to my Czech heritage, I would add a few European touches to the space, blue onion china along with a set of Thonet chairs to grace the family table. Also a droolicious gas range to whip up meals, along with gorgeous deep farmhouse sink with bicycle print towels to encourage husband to dry dishes. {I said a girl could dream!}

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed, hope it doesn't get too painful.
