Kitchen Tour

Today, I am going to share my Kitchen. This is definitely not my dream kitchen, but when you rent there's not much you can do to change that, so I will try and make the best of it in the meantime. The kitchen was one of our biggest adjustments, in our last house the kitchen was HUGE and I loved it. I think we have finally adjusted to this kitchen. I tried to not clutter it too much, but I love accessories!! :) You all know I love the Tuscan vibe and I think I nailed it pretty good in here! 

Here is a view from our dining area, the vaulted ceilings really help this not feel so small.

 I do love how you can see what's up above my cabinets better though. Everything you see here was purchased from Ross, Big lots or Kirklands.

 Here are some up close pictures.

 I want to get some faux bread loaves to put in this tin bucket.

I added candlesticks with glass fleur de lis orbs, wine pictures, roosters and greenery to this side.

There are two ways to enter the kitchen, this is the entrance off of the hallway.

I was a bit iffy about not having matching rugs, but I think they work since they have the same colors.

 I added a fleur de lis plate, a plaque, a rooster urn filled with wine corks and a greenery arrangement.

I use the bottom area of this metal fruit holder, but I wanted to decorate the top half. The canisters are from Kirkland's.

 I added artichokes, grapes, apples, greenery and corks.

 I added two canisters and a topiary to this area next to the sink.

 For above the fridge, I added a coffee plaque from Big Lots, a metal tray and a metal basket with a topiary inside.

 Here is the view from our living room. I used the bar stools from my pub table that used to be in our front room in the old house. They are the perfect height.

I displayed used wine bottles in this wine holder and added some greenery.

 I added my big clock above our pantry you can see it great from the living room.

I hope you enjoyed my kitchen, I will be sharing our main living room next. 

Happy Valentines Day!! 

Have a great weekend!

Front Living Room Tour

Hey guys!! I am so sorry I haven't done a blog post in what seems like forever! I have been so busy with the move, holidays and just everyday life. It seems as though its taking me forever to get this house finished, but I have finally finished this room, so now I am ready to show it to you all.

Let me start off by saying I have had a bit of a challenge, we went from a 3000 sqft house to a 1700 sqft house, so at first we were culture shocked big time, but I think we are finally adjusting to it. Okay on with the pictures! I won't do much talking it's all about the pictures anyway!! 

Here is the view as you enter the front door. I am LOVING all of this tile with having little ones around and pets it makes it so much easier to keep clean and looking nice. I am wanting to find a rug to go under the ottoman.

 This house has vaulted ceilings, so it makes you feel like it isn't so small. 

I kept a lot of the things the same as the old house, like these candle holders with a flower arrangement on top. I just love this look!

 I took a couple valances that I had hanging up in the old house and scrunched them up on top of the ottoman. 

 I had to keep my bakers rack out here there was no where else it would fit.

Here's a couple close ups.

 I used the curtains that were behind my table in the old house in here. 

I really wanted to keep this piano, so I made it work by angling it in this corner.

I added some lamps, candlesticks with garden balls on top, finials, urns and of course greenery.

Here's some close ups.

 Here are some pictures of the desk. 

I hope you enjoyed my front living room tour! I will be sharing my kitchen area next. I hope you all have a great week!! See you soon!!!

Fall in the Kitchen

Hi guys! I am sorry I haven't gotten this post up sooner, but our house just went up for sale, so I have been busy making sure everything is organized etc. I did some fall decorating before I knew the house was going on the market, so our realtor told me to leave it up. I wanted to share the kitchen today and then I will share the rest next week. I obviously wont be doing anymore fall decorating this year, I had plans to do some more but that will have to wait until next year. Anyhow on with the pictures of the kitchen. 

Here's a view as you walk into the kitchen.

 I wanted to create a fall tree this year and to my surprise I had everything on hand, so this didn't cost me a dime. All I did was wrap the tree with leaf garland, tucked in some pumpkins, a owl and then added a ribbon bow to the top and shoved in leaf branches and some flowers. I think it turned out so cute! I want to do a Halloween one next year.

Here is a little vignette next to the tree.

I added a fall platter, two pumpkins, an urn and a lamp and then just tucked some greenery in the bare spots.

I added a pumpkin arrangement I threw together a few years ago, a metal pumpkin from Safeway and a grapevine pumpkin from Target's dollar section.

I added a pumpkin arrangement with greenery to the top of this stand. I use the bottom half, so I just added some pretties to the top.

 I used a cake plate that I got from Hobby Lobby a few years ago and tucked in some pumpkins, grapes and wine corks.

 For my pot rack I just added some leaf garland to dress it up.

Well, that's it for today! I have been taking orders for Tassels and I recently decided to start selling wreaths. I have made one so far which sold but I will attach a picture of the wreath to give you an idea. If you are interested in purchasing wreaths or tassels send me an email and I would love to make them for you!

I hope you all have a great weekend!!
