Open Shelving in the Kitchen

I’m still at it; moving things around and changing things up!  Now that the dining room is done, I have moved into the kitchen. (To see the changes I have made in the dining room you can go here. )  For now, I have boxed up all my copper pieces that I had displayed on the open shelving in the kitchen.  I have replaced it with white ironstone and silver pieces that I picked up here and there.  Take a look……

Most of the things I used were things I already had. 

The tea pot was a recent purchase made at The Christmas Shoppe.  I love that store!  I paid $5.99 for it. 

The soup tureen was a deal….I paid $5.00 for it several months ago at one of our local Flea Markets. 

The grater you see was my grandmother’s, then my mom’s and now it’s mine.  I placed a little electric candle inside it.  It gives off the neatest glow at night. 

Those are faux apples in that wire basket.  Don’t they look real?  I can’t wait for my grandsons to come and ask me to peel them one…aren’t they in for a surprise. 

I have to tell you, I really like this neutral color theme I have right now.  It makes everything seem so much lighter and brighter.    I have one more thing on my list of “Things To Do” in the kitchen and that is to build a farm table…..I’m waiting patiently for that because I need hubby’s help. 

As always, thanks for visiting and for your sweet comments.  They always make my day.
