Case in point, in my foyer I had decided that it would be a space to remind me of a trip I took some years ago to New Mexico. I had long since been a fan of chimineas, and found one seriously marked down at the Garden Ridge a while ago. Since then the decorating in that space has been sort of stagnant. Meanwhile my kitchen/dining area seemed to be taking shape, but there are still things lacking on the dining side. Tonight I decided to move the chiminea in there. And guess what, I think I like it. After that move I decided to take down a piece of wall art I created from an embroidered cloth from Mexico and am contemplating placing it on the faux stone hearth behind the chiminea. I'm trying to bridge my kitchen/dining area so it looks like one cohesive space.

The kitchen remodel has been done over time. And as you know in your home, it's never a finished job. One day I hope to be fortunate enough to replace those 1970s countertops. lol
I'll post an Easy Peasy tutorial on how I made that wall hanging in another post.
Happy Decorating,
I love the bright bits of color you added to the kitchen. I do know what you mean about it taking time to get things just how you want them when you are on a budget. It will all come together one day. :)
ReplyDeleteLibby, you brought a lot of life into a very monotonous looking kitchen. The splashes of analogous colors really work for me. Do I sense a little interior decorating running through your blood?
ReplyDeleteWOW - I love the colors in the new kitchen, they're vibrant and welcoming - perfect for cooking and eating, my favorite place in the house!
ReplyDeleteO-M-G! I thought I was the only one that had the knotted pine tongue in groove paneling (not really lol) I love what you've done, and it gives me hope for my kitchen which I've been terrified to paint, but now can't wait to dig into!
