I thought I would share with you a couple of new vignettes in the kitchen that I recently created.

To begin with I picked up this basket a while back and it really hadn't been given a home.  It's made to stack plates in and that's why the front has the dropped down opening.

Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone! I have this cute little white pedestal that I realized would fit in there and help to raise the plates up higher.  Of course now it needs something to cozy it up!

 I looked about and saw this Williams Sonoma wash cloth and because of the stripe I thought it might be a good touch.  After playing with it a bit I liked it but something was bugging me.

I dug through my napkins and found this Pottery Barn napkin that had some nice earthy tones that would work well with my colors.

This napkin allowed me to fill in the space a bit better.

 I love chicken wire items and this little basket was a good addition to the pieces I got from Pottery Barn a couple of years ago. The tray on the wall is from Wendell August and the Rooster pitcher is a Bordallo Pinheiro piece.

This picture is a print I ordered on line and the frame was a T.J. Maxx find.  I liked the coloring in the frame and it works great with my kitchen. 

Small kitchen....4 ft. between the base cupboards. It works well for one person- gets crowded easily! Let's just say you can do a lot of butt-bumping!

 This is a quick shot of the kitchen.  I moved the knife block off to the back right which shows in the picture above.  I have a tv on a swivel mount that we watch in the mornings while having coffee and sometimes while I'm making dinner!  The little clock below the tv is actually a unit that controls lights inside and outside  of the house.  It's a bit utilitarian but I have few places to hide things.

 Speaking of coffee this is my little nook for coffee. 

 Just to the right of the tv is this other vignette I created.  I got a bun on to create something using a collection of pitchers and this is what I ended up with.

I wanted to do something in the whites but I had to work with it to fit in with my look.  The rooster hadn't been used since I bought it because It's so big I struggled with what to do with it.  I found it on 75% off at Cracker Barrel last year! Couldn't resist!

 I lined my chicken wire tray with this napkin which is also another one from Pottery Barn.  

This was a pitcher I scarfed up from T.J. Maxx several years ago.  It's by Poterie Mont Rachas, France.

It was kind of pricey for T.J. Maxx but something told me to grab it! After I searched the internet for more of the product I was even happier with myself for buying it- especially at T.J.'s prices!

This is an old pitcher in front that I got from my Mom's and the one behind was a fairly new purchase from a trip to PA.

The one with the woven exterior was another T.J. Maxx piece from last spring. I liked the organic feeling it brought to the vignette.  It ties in well with the chicken wire tray and helps ground the look.

 

The Milkhouse milk bottle candle is a cute addition and I love having a little fragrance fill the air! The sunflower added some yellow which draws on the coloring in the Mont Rachas pitcher 

So these are my two new vignettes!  

Thanks for visiting!
