Spring in the Kitchen 2015

Happy Friday !
Lets take a tour of the rest of the kitchen decorated for spring!

The seasonal chalkboard hangs on the wall between the family room and kitchen.. there is a DIY spring burlap wreath on the basement door..decorated with forsythia and a birds nest..

The galvanized tiered tray decorated for spring sits on the end of the counter..

a few chickens in a thrifted basket ..

The view into the dining room..

the basket of bunnies and book page covered eggs on the kitchen table..in a wire basket on a cake pedestal.

The new DIY spring table runner..

and my favorite spring vignette.. Doesn't it just say SPRING!

This was my first vintage scale I found .. its got a big white bowl with a stack of smaller plates inside ..topped with an urn that my daughter had bought at Goodwill and wasn't using ..In the urn is a moss bunny ( Hobby Lobby) surrounded by tulips from Michael's..The little birds are from Hobby Lobby and so is the branch of green thistles.. In the small pedestal bowl is a nest and another of the birds...a little blossom garland is wrapped around the nest with a few blue speckled eggs..

We went to Homegoods the other day and I found this bunny sugar bowl ( $3.99) and added it to the bottom tray ..now this is even more my favorite vignette!

This wire cloche was in the dining room ..its filled with a couple vintage chickens and a little wood box for height.

Naptime ..:) and yesterday this hawk came and landed on our fence while I was out there starting yard cleanup.. he was huge ! wish I would have had my camera ,this photo is from my phone.

I hope you all have wonderful weekends! It's been pretty warm here ..maybe even 60 today ..there is still a lot of snow in our yard. Hoping it will be gone soon !

Spring Table Runner

Good morning !
Last week I made a new spring table runner for the table and finally got around to sewing on the burlap ruffles yesterday ..

I used osnaburg fabric for the base .. and painted the words and flowers on with acrylic paint. I also used fabric paint bottles..For outlining and doodling :)

I cut bunny and flower shapes from stiff burlap ( that came from Michael's) and glued them on..

I used a roll of burlap ribbon for the ruffles ..I just gathered it by hand with a big needle and sewed it with the machine to the runner..

The chalk paint painted hutch is one of my favorite places to decorate ..

The diy ceiling medallion wreath with the book page rose hangs from a peg on the shelf

I will be back tomorrow with the rest of the spring kitchen ..

April Showers Bring May Flowers Chalkboard

Hope you all had wonderful Easter celebrations with your families ! We had a very nice day and had wonderful weather ! We spent most of the day outside .. I needed to redo the seasonal chalkboard since Easter is over , so I decided to go with April showers bring May flowers. I figure I will keep it up into May and then change it to something patriotic for Memorial day..

I used some of the youngest grandsons sidewalk chalk for the raindrops and centers of the flowers for a little color.. hard to get those big pieces of chalk to do what you want them to :)

You can see the past chalkboard designs : Easter .. Spring .. winter .. Christmas ..Fall ..

I am still loving the chalk painted hutch in the kitchen and wish I would have painted the oak years ago ! The inside is the same pale grey that's on the dining room walls and it looks so pretty lit up !

I need to make a new table runner and have some ideas that I hope work out :)

I was trying to finish up this Rabbit Run cross stitch from Prairie Schooler before Easter , but I just haven't had much time to stitch ..I had seen the chart and thought it was ok, then I saw someones finished project on Instagram and knew I had to stitch it ! Hopefully it gets finished before next spring !

My daughter and I walked to the new forest preserve trail last night and then walked the 2 mile trail with the dogs ..It was so pretty in there ..

Thanks so much for stopping by ! I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest , Etsy..all the links are in the sidebar !

Spring In The Kitchen

Good Monday morning !

It's springtime in the kitchen ! It is very much still winter outside ! Below zero temperatures and still lots of snow in the Chicago area !

I used grapevine wreaths on top of mason jars with a little moss for birds nests in this vignette..Burlap , and a wrought iron cloche on top of the vintage scale..

The Fitz and Floyd bunny teapot is hanging out in this tiered wrought iron basket.. The bottom has a little thrifted silver pedestal bowl another grapevine wreath and a little bird..

The seasonal chalkboard that hangs in the doorway from the family room to the kitchen..

I got this fabulous pedestal at the Salvation Army for about $3.00 , it is perfect for spring.. This little vignette is on the kitchen table..

Last year at this time we were going through our Living room dining room remodel.. Below is the before, since then we have gotten a smaller round table and new chairs, painted the hutch , carpet , window trim , we took down alot of the the wall the hutch is on, to open up the rooms .. what a mess it was , but the finished remodel is fabulous!
