Breakfast Room Changes

I did get tired of looking at the snowmen, even though winter has just really begun! I am sick of it already though! So, I took them all down and packed them away, CLEANED the kitchen and breakfast room, and got things back to "normal". It was strange seeing the kitchen and breakfast room empty for awhile! I will share the kitchen soon too. I didn't have the hutch here yet this time last year so enjoyed doing that. I am really liking this look and don't think I will tire of it. I started on the top of the hutch with this large lantern. It has a battery operated candle on a timer so comes on by itself for a few hours at night. LOVE that feature! The bird is a stone like material and I added a green bottle/vase and a sprig of greens.

These are candle sticks that I have had for many years. They are carved wood.

I recently got this little wire cloche and placed this iron bird under it. I am looking for something to use as "seed" cause if I use real seed it will attract the varmits:):)

A wicker wrapped bottle holds some faux flowers and ivy and a rope ball sits next to that.

One of my demijohns and another cute bird. We have 3 bird feeders right outside the windows in here so I love seeing birds in here too! I might add a few other garden elements soon. You never know:)

I had this little pail and placed a wicker ball in it.

Bee skeps are another favorite.

On the right side of the hutch top I have a larger demijohn filled with greens and sticks. And another bee skep.

The square basket stays up here all the time. It had a wreath on it for Christmas.

Isn't he cute?:)

I brought this little bike planter from my office for the bottom of the hutch.

I also put the bird and cloche on an iron stand. I added a turtle shell to this vignette too.

Tada!!! There you have it. The house calms me after all the glitz and glam of Christmas is put away. Hope you are warmer than we are, wherever you are. We are getting some snow later today so I will be back to organizing some spaces and NOT going out! Have a beautiful week my friends!!! XO, Pinky
