Oh the joys of the Kitchen Aid mixer! Definitely worth every inch of counter space.

Oh, so fun Grace!!
I just love your Karin Eriksson pottery as well, with succulents no less….so lovely!
Happy New Year

Where did you find those beautiful pottery pieces, holding your utensils and succulents?!

Oh very pretty! Love the vases too :)

yay! it looks so great!

I got the same mixer but in tangerine for x-mas! I love it, Happy New Year!

i’ve had my empire red kitchenaid for 6 years now, and she looks and works as good as the day i got her! dualit toaster next? :)

yay! and pistachio!

I’M SO JEALOUS

Happy New Year! can’t wait to see what you mix up with that pale green beauty!

I love my kitchen aid more than any sane person should. try using it for mashed potatoes. they come out a perfect combination of fluffy and lumpy.

i love my mixer. it has a prominent place on my counter as well. here’s a fun dinner tip: i make four to six pizza dough rounds in the mixer (takes just minutes) then roll them out. i have friends bring over toppings and wine, and we have a pizza night. every one gets a slice of something different.

I wish my kitchen looked like that! Are those plants real? They look fantastic and I’ve been searching for something just like them that won’t die under my care. Any suggestions on places for terrific artificial plants? I’ve been searching high and low! *Thanks for the great blog*

i’m positively “green” with envy ;)

Oh, I love the idea of changing your kitchen to match your mixer!!

Congrats Grace on your super cute mixer!
Seeing your tiny suculants on the counter prompted me to ask….how do you care for them? I purchased an assortment of similar succulants a few months ago and they are dropping like flies…can’t figure out if I am over watering them or under watering them…..do yours get a ton of sunlight?
Thanks for your advice as always!

yes, but my dough recipe is for jackson hole, so it’s different for this altitude. i think what makes my dough so good, though, is that it’s sweetened with honey. i think if you use the basic dough recipe that came in the kitchenaid book, sweeten it with some quality honey instead of sugar, it will be great. the best part is you can throw all the ingredients in the mixer, go wash some dishes, and come back in five minutes and the dough is done.

I got one, too! I love it and find reasons to mix any and everything I cook. I also now have no counter space, but I guess I really don’t need it since I do just throw everything in the mixer. I like the color of yours, too! Mine’s black because I have color commitment issues.

I got a kitchenaid mixer too for x-mas… in the nickel pearl to match all the stainless. I wonder how many of your readers also got mixers for the holidays. How fun!

Ah – I have the exact same mixer in the exact same color! It has been the pride of my kitchen for years! And, I’ll admit, my kitchen was re-worked to present the gorgeous green of the mixer in all its glory!

Enjoy it and all the baking you’ll now do with it!

I made the marshmallows and gave them too my hot-chocolate-addicted mother for Christmas–she was beyond thrilled!

And a Kitchenaid mixer is next on my “important purchases” list. Did you buy attachments, too?

Ooooh, a Kitchen Aid! I covet.

for Karen’s poll – I got one too. An early wedding present from my parents. I joked that there’s no need for a wedding now. I have the nickel plated one also. Too many colors in my kitchen already.

Hands down the best mixer, ever. I received the pistachio as a present two years ago and it has seen many, many batches of chocolate chip cookies since then.

Wow! That is truly gorgeous! I want one toooooo! ;)

Congratulations on the mixer! I got one for Xmas as well – the Ice blue color. They’re divine =D

Welcome to the KitchenAid club! I just love mine – in red – and use it all the time. And those marshmallows look delicious – they turned out perfect!

Ohh, I have been thinking about the pewter one. But the pistaschio mixer is really tempting.

I’m definitely a big supporter of changing the color of your kitchen to match the appliances; especially when it’s a Kitchen Aid Mixer!! Big thumbs up :-)

My mom has a white kitchenaid and her cookies just never taste as good as the ones I make in my PINK kitchenaid. I have to say their fab colors make all the inspirational difference and add the final touch to any recipe.

I’m a happy girl too! I got the exact same pistachio KA mixer last December and LOVE it!

how friggin’ cute. mine [well, boyfriend's] is graphite. boo. but at least i have one.

i recommend the ice cream attachment. i got it this summer and it was super worth it. it takes some time, but it’s easy! i made some walnut gelato that rivals il laboratorio’s [so i was told].

luuuuuucky girl

yay for your new mixer! i love the karen eriksson pieces as well.

Got my pistachio before remodeling the house almost two years ago. The color just goes with anything, and it works as well now as the day we took it out of the box. Enjoy your new best friend!

Beautiful color! I absolutely agree when it comes to wanting to change the whole color scheme of your kitchen to match THE most loveable appliance ever….my kitchen was all sage accents…it has since gone to turquoise and red-orange accents to match the persimmon Kitchen-Aid highlight on the countertop.

Oh love the mixer color!

oooh, lusting after that one.

Received one (well not quite yet – is on the Fed-Ex truck “out for delivery”) for Christmas from the in-laws – Imperial Gray – will go perfectly with my slate backsplash. Can’t wait to get my beaters spinning!

Enjoy! I got one for my birthday in November (red) from my husband and am enjoying experimenting with it. Luckily my kitchen already has touches of red – so no need to redecorate! : )

I got one for Christmas too!!! The boyfriend did a good job. I got the Pro600 in Silver Sage. It is SOOOO beautiful…

oh please post pictures if you do a quickie remodel! My mixer is the same color and I’ve been dying to match the kitchen to it!

This is such a late comment but I, too, got a KITCHENAID mixer (fire engine red) and have already begun trying out that marshmellow recipe! Yay!

I love my fire engine red KITCHENAID as well. It’s so yummy to look at. Every year I try to treat myself to a wonderful appliance, but nothing has touched me the way this mixer does. I would love to see the decor match your mixer.

i got one for xmas too! in Persimmon ! i posted a guess who’s on my blog!
we’ve gone mashed potatoes and cooky crazy!

Hi Grace,
Where did you get that Spoon holder? That is so pretty. I also love the color of your mixer.
Thanks,
meera

Oh yeah! I must have one of these.

A few years back I finally laid down “The Law” that Wife/Mother was to get absolutely no more appliances as gifts. I am now calling my husband in here, showing him the mixer–and putting a moratoreum on my appliance ban. You see, my birthday is next week. Yep, that green will do just fine.

I have half-seriously threatened to get one of the big professional ones for years. Maybe when I build my summer kitchen. Some day.
