Simply Breakfast!

This is what I like to call the kitchen table.  It's just a little tea cart, really only big enough for two! I love bunnies and keep them out all year round!  Although this is a simple breakfast table, I like to add candle light anytime I can!! I put a little ruffle around the candle and put it on a pedistal!  Romantic breakfast!   Happiness is something you decide ahead of time!!!




This is where Howard sits for coffee.  My placemats are large pieces of old cutter quilts, they hang down and are lapnapkins (is that a word)! lol  A cute pillow makes it comfortable to sit for a long time and drink coffee and enjoy looking outside! 




This frillier seat is mine!  I have a ruffled pillow and a nice  soft one for my back!!

I got my plates from an old friend at her yard sale!   The coffee cups are Hobby Lobby 80% off, the place mats are what I call pieces of cutter quilts, and the silverware is our everyday stuff!

This is the blackboard for the kitchen.   The message changes daily ,but today is the first day of kindergarten for Kyleigh!!

Here is our coffee area.

Sugar and cream.  The one on the left is a sugar server that my grandmother gave me many years ago!  I know the other one is a sugar server, but it has cream in it!  


These are part of a large collection of roosters that I have.  These are on the top of the hoosier right next to where we sit in the kitchen.

This is our 'table"  We were at a yard sale in San Antonio last year and this was in the free pile! Howard put it back together (it was in pieces) and here it is!!

You can see the backyard from where we sit!

You can see clear thru the house from the kitchen! First is the living area, and then way our there is the sunroom!

You can see the potting shed from the breakfast table!

This is on the refrigerator right by where Howard sits!

More of my rooster collection on the hoosier!

I hope you have enjoyed my simple breakfast tablescape!

  6. Penny,

    I adore your blog! It's so pretty and feminine. How do you get away with all of the pink and floral with a man in the house?! My three sons would scream murder if I went anywhere near and thing pink for the house lol!

    That is a very beautiful breakfast spot. I love the charming little free dropleaf table. What a wonderful way to start the day!
