Want need ...

... this gorgeous kitchen by Brisbane stylist Kara Rosenlund. I'd be smiling too if I could cook in a vintage dream like this. More of Kara's work on her website and for those readers in the Brisbane area Kara and her Travelling Wares caravan shop (otherwise know as Frankie) can be found at the Jan Power Farmers Markets this Saturday 11th February at the Powerhouse, New Farm .

I can't wait to see it age beautifully as it gathers the layers of family life.
