Hey guys! I wanted to share with you all the nook above our front door and the hutch today. First up is the nook, I have been figuring out what to put up here for a few weeks and yesterday it just came into my head. I used stuff that I already had from other places in my house, the only new thing is the metal piece above the door which I got from Ross for 20 dollars! It's that time of year again when we get to take surveys at my husbands work and they give us giftcards love it!!
I placed two Tuscan pictures that Sandra from Decorating on a Budget sent me almost a year ago as a house warming present. I just love them!! I placed the metal urn with the rooster and greenery on one side and then the hanging fleur de lis on the other. I added a trunk to the middle with greenery.
Here's a closer look, sorry for the picture its not as clear as I would like it to be but with all of the sun that comes through that area its hard to get a good picture.
Next up is the hutch, I have showed the hutch to you guys a couple times and told you I was toying with the idea of adding iron to the doors instead of getting the glass replaced. Well, I decided I would like the iron best so when I was at Hobby Lobby I came across the iron plaques and thought that it would fit perfectly and it does!
Here's a closer look, all I did was nail two nails on the inside and hung the piece on the nails. Worked out just like I thought don't ya love it when that happens? lol
I am still playing around with the bottom part and what to display, but for now I have 3 plates, a leopard tray, a fleur de lis urn and a apothecary jar. These are all from Hobby Lobby.
Up top I added a charger plate, 3 fleur de lis vases that I got for Christmas from Kirkland's, the horse and some greenery from the Dollar Tree! To my surprise Dollar Tree has pretty greenery bushes that are small that you can piece together I put 4 up there so for 4 dollars I'd say it looks pretty good!
Here's a closer look at the vases I just love them! They are in the colors that I love and ofncourse I love the fleur de lis.
Well, that's it for today guys! I will be back soon sorry I haven't been posting too much. Enjoy your weekend, we are going to my grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary party tomorrow WOW that's a long time!!
Have a great weekend!!

Both spaces looks amazing. I love the urn with the rooster and the trunk is a great addition. Great accessories and vignettes. Hugs, Marty
Ally, you've been busy!
I like the iron on the hutch doors. What a great idea. It's even better when you find exactly what you're looking for to make it work. You clever girl! It looks very nice. The pops of red behind the iron is perfect. Way to decorate!
Love the grills in the door...love it! Great idea and they are wonderful when it works!!
Ally, The nook above your door looks so pretty! I am going to borrow your idea! ;) The pictures look really good there!
I love the iron detail in the hutch! Thanks for sharing! :)
P.S. Thank you for mentioning the giveaway. I've been swamped with work and no play. I hope to work on fun projects this weekend and I'm totally borrowing your nook idea!
I love the window nook above your door...it's so nice to have the sun coming in like that and you have it decorated so beautifully! Love your hutch, too. It's amazing that those iron pieces fit so perfectly!!
XO,

Allyson, I love what you did with the ledge. The pictures are so pretty!! All of the accessories are great! The hutch looks great, too! Love the vases up top! The colors are awesome!!
Hi Ally,Love your iron work as panels, what a genius idea. I would have never thought of that! You have a great vision and the decor really looks so warm, inviting and fresh. Your niche above the door is pretty and love all the Fleur Di Li!Congratulations for your grandparents. Cherish the day!How wonderful!
Wow! The iron scroll work looks like it was meant for your hutch! Really beautiful! Love the way you've dressed these spaces! Thanks for sharing.
Ally it all looks wonderful! I always am stumped with the window above our front door. Thanx for coming to the party!
Allyson, it looks gorgeous! I love the space over the door, the metal art just finished it off so nicely!
And your hutch looks so pretty with the red plates. Beautiful!
I think both spaces are beatuiful The hutch is great with that punch of red dishes.
Allyson,
I love it all, but I especially love what you did with the iron pieces on the hutch, WOW!! I never would have imagined how to incorporate those, what a cleaver idea. Can you tell me how you did that? I would love to do that with mine.
I love how you've accessorized everything, it's so pretty and cozy! Thanks for sharing! xo ~Liz
I love the hutch! GREAT IDEA!
How clever - what a terrific idea to use the metal grilles for door inserts! They look great and your accessorizing if so pretty also. Jane
It all looks so great, Allyson! The vignette above the door is lovely. So many people just ignore wonderful spaces like that because it takes a bit more effort to create some lovelies for it. I'm forever hauling in the tall ladder to do something on a very high spot. What a great idea of adding those iron pieces to your hutch. Totally love it when a plan comes together like that!
Best wishes to your grandparents! Have fun!
