Changes in the Kitchen

Hello everyone!

I'm happy to report that my allergies are getting a little better.  Yay!  Now my husband and oldest son are dealing with them.  I think we could all use a visit to an allergist one day.  ha!  It must be genetic. 

On another note, I mentioned in my last post that I did a little retail therapy.  Here are a few things I purchased for my kitchen and some vignette changes that I made.

Do you see anything new at my kitchen table?

Let's look at it at another angle and see if you can spot it.

Now I know you must see it!  It's that cute little bench.  I found it in a completely different color, but it was made of solid wood and very sturdy.  It looks to be handmade (not mass produced).  I snatched it up for a mere $39!  Can you believe it?  I came home and painted it white.  I plan on doing a little more distressing to it in the future. 

It needs a little "chippiness" going on!  Ha!

I also found these petite french canisters.

And....this cute wooden caddy.

I filled it with an old seltzer bottle, sterling silver spoons and a topiary.

I moved a few things around too.  I placed this basket with flowers on my counter.

And I moved my scale over to the grey cabinet.

I also added a large painted basket of flowers to the center of my table.

I'm very happy with the outcome.  It feels a bit more summery in here now.  We've been enjoying some beautiful sunny weather this week.  It's been nice to be in the kitchen with the back door open. 

Tomorrow, is a special day for me and my husband too.  We will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary!  I can't believe how fast it has gone by.  I look back on it and shake my head.  I feel very blessed to be in a good marriage with 2 beautiful children.   

Thanks for stopping by!
