Just Different...not new....Lighting in the Kitchen

I replaced some of the lighting in the kitchen hoping the new lighting  would  be a better fit for  my Rooster chandelier that is hung over the island.     I didn't put up "new" lighting.....just shopped the house   and selected the lighting that was hanging on each side of the sofa in the family room.    That opened up a whole new can of worms that effected several other rooms in our home....   Does that ever happen to you? 

I had a pink chandelier hanging on this side and an altogether different white one on the other side of the Hoosier.    { I didn't get a before photo of it)    So we replaced both of them with a pair of hanging chicken wire lighting that were in the family room.   
  We also took down the tea cup collection that was on the shelf to clean....and.....decided that is too much work,   so we didn't put it back

In the place of the tea cup collection,   I put a simple easy to clean design on the shelf 

The white enamel  Old Farmers Market container can be taken down in one piece and everything cleaned....easy peasy!

This is the chandelier that I hoped the new lighting would be a better match to.

It may not be perfect,   but it looks much better now!

In the before photo,    you may have noticed that I didn't have anything on the pass thru between the kitchen and family room

I created a simple design of Roosters and greenery on the pass thru.....and then I created a similar vignette on the floor with 2 more pink combed Roosters 

What happened to all my tea cup collection?????   
 Well,   you will see it in the Hoosier in an upcoming post.    I keep the doors closed most of the time on the Hoosier so it will be much easier to keep it all clean now

I'm so glad that you stopped by today....come back anytime!
