Adding Country Touches to the Kitchen

Hello everyone!

How is your week going so far?  Mine has been very busy, but at least I'm getting a lot done.  Despite being busy, I found some time to change a few things around in my kitchen.  It was triggered by something new I got for Mother's Day.  

I got this blue and white striped rug.

It looks like a Dash and Albert rug, but it isn't!  It's from Hook Loom.  They guarantee their rugs will not fade or shrink.  They are handwoven in India.  I found their website in a magazine and decided to give them a try.  I'm very happy with it so far!  Here is their website if you want to look around.  hookandloom.com  

Now, I can enjoy it every time I'm at the sink (which is A LOT)!

So, you know how one thing changes and then there is suddenly that domino effect going on?  Well, that is what happened here.  I decided to bring in some more pops of blue into the kitchen.  I brought in some of my blue ball jars.

And I hung a grain sack beside my cabinets.

Then I spruced up the area next to my sink by removing a lamp and replacing it with an old pitcher of flowers.  

So now I have a little bit of color and the country look that I still love.

I also found this old bucket and decided to place fresh lavender in it.

It sits on top of a stool on the other side of the kitchen.

I think the warmer temps outside are making me crave a country summer look inside.

Now, if only I had an ocean and beach nearby,  I'd be set!

Thanks for stopping by!
