Another pretty one...
and this one has had a total make-over...the front is wowsa! (sorry, no pics of that) I snapped this because I liked the colors they used.
At my "real" house...we've been working on a little kitchen freshening-up. My husband has scraped the popcorn off the ceiling and painted it 1/4 strength, BM Woodlawn Blue. I think we are going to try something else...it's just not that exciting. You can see where it meets the full strength Woodlawn Blue on the walls. Not sure what we're going to do with the wall color...continue with it or do another shade of white. We've had this up several years and I'm very happy with it...but DH might be looking for a change.
The cabinets got a fresh coat of BM White Dove and now we are working on knobs. My original plan was to stain some wooden knobs a dark color, but I prefer the top lighter one...my husband's idea (because it is closer to the floor color).
I bought these cute framed recipes at the above mentioned church sale...4 for $1 each.
Can't decide whether or not I'm going to keep the plates up...
I bought these kalanchoe plants last week for $1.50 each at Brunos...my daughter added the artwork on my favorite $3 chalkboard from a FreeWill Baptist Church sale. The plant stand was $5 from an estate sale years and years ago. Funny how I can remember what I paid for things and where they came from. Most days I can't remember my own name. ;)
Thrift store I'm not sure what...need to paint the frame. I think it is in french and almost looks like a contents page for recipes.
Emma Bridgewater tins...25 cents each...thrift store.
I'm not exactly sure what the end result will be...but playing with all the elements I like helps me figure it all out. I have never been able to see the end result...it all depends on what I come across that inspires me.
