Winter Kitchen Tour with Lots of Texture

Good morning friends! I hope wherever you are you are warm! It has been brutally cold here, temps in the low teens and wind chills below zero. UGH. Joe and I are going to Fl. for the month of Feb. and it can't come soon enough!!! I used some of my palm tree decor in the kitchen in preparation for being in Fl. I LOVE palm trees! So come on in, I'll make you some hot coffee! I did this vignette on the corner of the kitchen bar. I wanted to keep the center of the bar open for now. I also love to have lots of texture in the winter to warm things up. Baskets, different metals, pottery all provide different textures in the kitchen.

 The bar stools are metal and have stone like backs.

 As you will see, green is the main accent color I am using.

 The buffet area: I removed the Christmas elements and put back all the white dishes. On the top shelf are 4 of my herb plates. Above the cabinets are pottery, baskets and greens.

 We just got this dish from Joe's cousin the other day. It was his Grandmothers. I just love it. I will give it to my daughter and she can give it to Colleen!

 In the center is a bread board, pottery vase and some greens.

On this side I placed all different spheres in the glass hurricane that has a cement base.  The large scoop holds faux pears and a lidded pot completes the vignette.

 On the fridge is a wire basket with green apples, a copper bowl and my scale.

 A very large basket holds some greens. Palm tree towels on the oven door.

 The palm tree piece over the stove is made of metal so safe in this spot. A pottery bowl holds Joe's wallet.

 I have black and green utensils in the palm tree holder.

 This is why I kept the center of the breakfast bar clear, I love this view.

This vignette has an iron lamp with a rattan shade, a faux succulent in a pottery basket and another lidded pottery jar.

 Copper, a basket and a large pottery piece at the end of the counter.

 The view from the kitchen to the breakfast room. Copper molds are above the doorway opening.

 Around this pantry door are a large fishing basket, copper molds, a copper bowl and a pottery colander.

 I hope you have enjoyed the tour. Have a beautiful day!!!!! I hope you stay warm.

A Whole New Look for the Guest Room!

Good morning friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend. We had a very good one and very busy! Today my sweet Colleen starts Kindergarten!!! I am so excited for her! So, the other day I finally redid the whole guest room. I have been thinking about it for months. I had never really been real happy with the blue in here. So, I changed it all out and the best part is I didn't have to spend a penny! I had everything that I used! Whoo hoo! I am really liking the new look.

 I am so glad I kept this rug. It has been rolled up in a corner since we moved here!

 These chairs were my sons and have been stored too.

 Simple bedding; tan comforter and shams and animal print throw pillows.

 I added this leopard throw at the foot of the bed.

 Now this dresser is perfect for this look! I am glad now that I didn't paint it.

 Rattan lamp and mirror.

 Love this basket,vase.

 This trunk has always been here but now looks so much better. I had the vase next to it and just added some greenery.

 Love this vase too.

 I made these wall pockets years ago when I was working at the flower warehouse. I stained the pocket and did the arrangement in them. Notice the pineapple picks.

 I remembered I had these pillows so added them to the chairs.

Thanks so much for your visit. I am in the middle of doing my Fall decorating, have been doing it on and off Sunday and Monday. Hope to finish up in a couple of days. Have you started yet? I LOVE fall decorating as the colors of fall are my colors. 

XO, Pinky
