Trying to add some color to my kitchen

Our kitchen is for sure the most used area of our home.

It is where we always gather at the end of the day and where I spend many hours 

every week cooking, cooking and cooking meals for my family. :)

 I just love to change the decor in my kitchen!

As it happens, I just celebrated another birthday a couple of weeks ago

and my husband and kids presented me with a very generous gift card  for one of my favorites home decor stores.

I am trying to hold off to use it to buy some Fall decor, but I just couldn't resist 

a little shopping trip this last week. 

This is one of the "treasures" I found. A very nice metal basket.

I used it to display some faux fruits, breads and wine on the kitchen island.

After I set up everything, it still looked like it was missing something, 

so I went to HL and bought a yard of this pretty checkered red and cream

fabric, which it was on sale, and made four napkins.

The cost was just $3.50. Not bad!

   I just love the bronze finish on the basket

Nothing fancy. Very simple, but it added a little happiness

and color to the space.

I will share soon the other items I found during my little shopping escapade. :)

I hope you guys are having a good week, even with these hot, hot temperatures

we are having. Stay cool!

And, as always, I thank you all for taking the time to stop by!
