Tweaking by the Kitchen Sink



I seem to make changes fairly often to this area in my kitchen.
I spend so much time at the kitchen sink (you can relate, right?) that I like
 to have something new, or just a new arrangement to look at
from time to time.


So here is the latest . . .


. . . some of my favorite bowls, a couple wooden boards, and my white rooster.


Mr. Rooster got a little sprucing up lately too 
with the addition of a ribbon and key around his neck!


Can you tell he's pretty proud of himself?

Thanks for taking a look at my little corner by the kitchen sink.

What have you been tweaking lately?

    What pretty bowls. My kitchen tweaking has snowballed and now has become a total re-org!

    You know, that is a great idea and something I need to do myself. It would only take a few minutes, but would indeed make the space a little more fun huh? You have inspired me. :) LOVE the back of that blue cabinet. Such a pretty color.

    Hi Joanne, I love your white rooster. He fits in well with your color scheme. Love the blue in the cabinet as well as your pretty bowls. I need to do some tweaking in my kitchen, too!

    So pretty! Looks great with your open shelves. I do the same thing...always changing the arrangement.

    I think a portrait of a woman's kitchen sink is like a self-portrait through objects. We spend a lot of time there.

    Fun to have that nice cabinet with open shelves. It's the perfect stage for changing vignettes.

    What a great little corner to have. The cupboard is very pretty, and the bowls tie in so nicely.

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre
