BREAKFAST AREA


Can't believe is already Wednesday!
This week has been so busy for me and no matter how much I try, I can't catch up. :)

In the last few weeks, I have made some small changes around our home. 
I will share them with you as I have a little time to put together a post.

Today, I am sharing with you our breakfast area and the changes I made to give it a lighter look 
for the warmer months. 




I bought the buffalo check fabric back in February, but with the arrival of our kids and grandson, 
everything had to be put on hold.
In the last few weeks, I have been sewing a bit at a time and it is finally all coming together.
The first thing I did was take down the old drapes, remove old hardware, patch up and paint nail holes.
The space was then ready to add my new drapes.



I also made a simple "kitchen" sign to go over the window.



Next, I made new pillow covers for the chairs and window seat.





For the table, I made a simple cream linen runner to which I added a strip of burlap and lace ribbon 
to give it a little character. :)



And I added as a centerpiece the glass bottle crate I made last week.



I am sure I will make some changes as the Summer months get here, but for now, we are enjoying the Spring colors.





Thank you all so much for your visit and for always taking the time to leave me such wonderful comments.
I will be back to share the rest of the kitchen and living area. 
See you all soon!

  4. You are so smart! I love all the changes. I re-did some curtain rods last week. What a long process! Your new curtains are beautiful. I might have to copy your kitchen sign :-)

  12. So cute! I don't know which thing I love more-the bird pillow, the table runner, or centerpiece. I was going to say it all "screams" Spring but it really just SIGHS Spring like "Ahhhhh"....

  13. I love the addition of buffalo checks in your house! It ties everything in so nice! I'm thinking about using it in our new kitchen, as well since it's classic and so versatile!
    Blessings,
