Small Kitchen Island

 I bought an inexpensive, small, portable, kitchen island from Walmart and I love how it looks! My kitchen isn’t very large so I had to have something small and that would be easy to move if need be. (This one’s on wheels!)


A great place for fresh flowers and coffee mugs…


I decorated the sides with towels, a rolling pin,
 greenery and wooden spoons…


My new, beautiful set of dish-ware and mugs from Certified International French Sunflower…  



A couple fabric table placemats and 
rooster napkin holders…


And a little bit of bling and sparkle!!


I love how it looks!!

Christmas Home Tour 2020 - Kitchen

 I really enjoy my kitchen and all the Christmas decorations greet me each morning...

My antique hoosier cabinet is filled with all kinds of Christmas cheer...


                               I use it more as a desk, a place to sit and sip my tea and write notes...


                                                    or to search recipes...


or grab a chocolate.. 


                                 vintage aprons hang on the side...


                                The counter where biscuits are made...


                                 I just found these canisters this year at an estate sale...


                                 Pioneer Woman has some pretty Christmas containers...


                                 The bright spot under the window...


                                The corner where dishes are washed...


                                 My morning cup of tea begins here...


                                  the stove where the kettle boils...


                                 and wise words to remind me....


                              Gingerbread men and a gingerbread tree top the refrigerator...

                                
                                  and microwave...

                         
                                  I have a bar dividing the kitchen from the dining room...


                                 there's candy for welcomed guests...


                                  and candles to scent the air...


                                  Every little shelf has been touched...


My kitchen is a happy place where many memories are made and everywhere I look reminds me of the joys of the season. I hope your kitchen is a happy place. 

Next time - my dining room...

Christmas Home Tour 2020 - Entryway

 

I take pictures every year so I know what I did the year before . Usually, I keep everything the same but sometimes I'll change something up - add new ribbon or change up a pillow or throw in something that I made. 

Let's go inside...

I have a small entryway that I'm very thankful for. It is where we can come in, take off our shoes, and hang up our coats.

Here's the bench I change for the seasons...


Last year I added this pillow I made. This year I made this snowman out of a white terry cloth towel. I love the way he turned out...



I hang a few ornaments and change the items on the shelf, I also change out the wall hangings although I'm trying to find something different for the walls. Searching thrift stores is so much fun...


A few things added here and there...





 I love  hutches, I think I have at least one in every room. I painted this one black last year. I always decorate it for the holidays but it is also practical storing scarves, hats and gloves...


Most items I have had for years, like these santas...



or these miniatures I found at a craft show years ago...


I have also had this charming tails ( which I collect ) nativity for years...



but there are a few new ( to me )things, like these vintage carolers I found at the thrift store and the tree cookie jar from a yard sale...


or this tree candle again from the thrift store and this Pioneer Woman pitcher from facebook marketplace....

I also do the railing to downstairs and put a wreath on the pantry door...


Decorating doesn't have to cost a lot of money, as you can see most things I get from thrift stores or yard sales, searching (shopping) is half the fun! It's also a time to clean, I move and dust everything before I put it up. This entry greets me and my guests when I enter and makes me happy. What do you see when you enter your house?   



Next up the kitchen....

Painted white Kitchen Cabinets

During this time of social distancing people are feeling quite confined to their homes and wondering what to do to fill their time. Well, for me, that's a great opportunity to get done all those projects that you never have enough time to do. I've been wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets for a long time. So I took my time, prepped very well - which means a lot of scrubbing, sanding and priming, and got it done. From dark oak cabinets to bright white. I love the way they turned out...

before...                                                                   after.....




I bought these rose knobs when Pat Catan's was closing for pennies, I'm so glad I did ...



I also painted my walls the same yellow as the office and still have all my lovely vignettes..

above my stove...

I left the shelf wood for accent...



above my microwave....


above my antique hoosier cabinet...




I found some embossed wallpaper at the thrift store and used as my back splash and on the bar ....



I also recovered my bar stools...
before.....                                                         



after.....



Well, that's my kitchen. Now on to the bathroom.
