Mini Makeover for a Neglected Kitchen Corner

There is a little corner in the kitchen that always gets the short end of my decorating stick....lol!     So,  today I gave my little kitchen corner a mini makeover. 

I added some new pieces to the corner and left one of the existing ones.    The big fabric bulletin board on the side of the refrigerator is the only thing I left.

I took the piece of weathered foot board that you see in the first photo hanging above the cow picture.........and you see it used like a ladder on the wall in the second photo. 
    It can be used so many ways........I think I will hang my Easter kitchen towels on it later.

In the fall.....................................................................Now

You will notice a vintage telephone on the wall in the first photo has been replaced by a  piece of foot board in the second photo. 
 
  Funny story about that........The water line broke to the icemaker yesterday  (what a mess)    Anyway,   H took down the telephone so the plumber could get back behind the refrigerator to replace the line without hitting his head on it.    I decided not to put it back up,   but instead go with a fresh look for the new year.

What is H dong today while I work on the corner? 
 If you look on the stove he has a big pot of pinto beans cooking.    We make Enchiritos  with them  (that's a cross between a enchilada and a burrito)     Flour tortilla,   beans,  sour cream,  shredded cheese,   and top that all with enchilada sauce and more cheese.    You could add meat if you wanted to,  but we like them without it.   

He also made a batch of Sand Tarts........my favorite cookie.

All you need is a few ingredients.........

And the recipe that my mother gave me more than forty years ago.     I still use the original one in Mother's own handwriting........
