New Look for the Kitchen

I wanted to give the kitchen counters a fresh look for 2016,  so I tried not to bring back very many of the accessories I had put away in November to make room for the Christmas decor.

  I layered a silk rose wreath over the open cupboards.  

Then,   I brought in my white swan  soup tureen from the lit cabinets in the family dining room.

I am going to repurpose my tureen and use it as a cookie jar for a change.

I've had my hand painted flour sifter put away for a while,  so it seems like new now.

I put an oil painting behind the swan and draped a large piece of cream colored crochet over the top of it. 

Here is the vignette next to the swan.....

I started the vignette with a piece that I bought in Branson Mo.  a few years ago.   It is a iron candle holder that has been married to a vintage glass bowl light cover.   I think the pink swans look cute next to the swan tureen.....er... cookie jar....lol!

I filled the light fixture (bowl) with a tea towel and some chintz tea cups.....

I put a tea cup place mat on each side of the little pink buffet......

I filled the drawers of the pink buffet with an assortment of our favorite tea's.

I finished the grouping on the kitchen  counter with a Fitz and Floyd duck that I picked up at a yard sale this past summer for a couple of dollars.

I still have a couple of counters left in the kitchen to put back together,  so I'll be back soon to show you how they look!
