MY NEW FLATWARE CONTAINER

I used to store my animal print flatware in a clear jar with a lid.  Of course I couldn’t pass on an after holiday sale at Zgallerie.  The animal print jug doesn’t only hold my flatware, it also keeps my wonderful breadboards in place on the kitchen counter.

ADDING BOOKPLATE ART

One of the easiest ways to add framed art to your decor is by using vintage book plates.   Book plates are illustrations that are added to vintage books during production.  Many times they are hand-colored botanical representations for reference.  The ones I used in my bathroom are prints of original book plates.

The three prints came with their own mats. I was able to find gold frames for the them.  Since the wall is sloped in that room, I staggered the placement rather than line them up in a row.

 The blue and white prints work with the navy, white and gold already in the room.

MISTAKE GONE RIGHT

When we were updating our kitchen, some cabinets were sent with the wrong dimensions and couldn’t be used. Of course I found a spot for one of the mistakes in the attached butler’s pantry. It was the wrong depth for the kitchen but the perfect depth to rest on my existing low pantry cupboard.

MISTAKE GONE RIGHT

 I purchased more of the kitchen hardware for both cabinets.  The bottom half of the new cabinet holds spices and baking supplies while platters and plates I don’t use frequently are on the upper shelves. 

HARDWARE THAT MATCHES KITCHEN HARDWARE

I use my lettuce leaf plates all the time. I store them on the shelves of a tall pot rack. 

FYI, that bundle of tassels hanging on the pot rack is my fun addition. They’re new camel tassels! Camels are allowed to dress up too.

HOLDING ON TO THE HOLIDAYS

I found some wonderful turned wood trees at an after-Christmas sale and couldn't bear to just pack them away for next year.  I thought I'd leave them out for a while.  Next year they'll be on the mantel surrounded by greenery.  For now they're on a tray between two bookshelves in the family room.

HOLIDAY TREES

 

The neutral tones work well with the art in that space.
