SOME SPRING DECOR IN OUR KITCHEN

Hello everyone!

I figured I better get busy and start sharing on the blog the little bit of Spring decor I have added to our home in the last few weeks before Summer gets here. :)

Nothing spectacular since you all know I have been busy taking care of some more pressing matters on the home front.

Let me show you what I have done in the kitchen and I will share the rest in a couple of days.

I always start by creating a little seasonal vignette on the island and then I just pull the colors from there.

This years is mostly blue and white with a touch of apple green here and there.

The only thing I bought new is this pretty embroidered runner from HomeGoods.

And on my old wood tray, I created a small centerpiece using some old plates. The white ones are from Homegoods, the blue ones from Kirklands.

To make it a little higher, I placed my ceramic stand and for some more color I added some pretty napkins I had from the Pioneer Woman collection.

A glass jar full of eggs, the old pitcher decorated with some Spring flowers and two candle holders 
finished the vignette.

At the last minute, I added some bird nests I had under the candles and a little moss to he pitcher, which I had forgotten to do before taking the pictures. LOL

But, even before I did all this, I had spent two whole days cleaning and organizing my kitchen. 

Boy, that was a lot of work! 

I removed everything from the top of the cabinets and changed the decor using some galvanized trays and a lot of creamy white decor items to create a lighter look.

These were things I already had and that I sprayed painted using Heirloom White. I also got rid of all the greenery and just added a couple of green containers here and there.

On the corner of the counter I added a pretty kitchen print.

I left the kitchen window the same as it has been since January.

A few more changes were made to the breakfast area.

I made some new pillow covers in the same colors as the island vignette.

I replaced the placemats with white ones I already had and I used again the old box with burlap flowers from last year.

And that is it on the kitchen spring decor, but before I go, did you noticed the big new item in our kitchen?

You won't believe me, but the same week our son got sick, our fridge decided to quit working completely.
What a disaster that was! Specially since I had just gone to the grocery store and it was full of fresh food.

After going back and forth with repair company, we were told there was no fixing it, so, as soon as we had a chance, we shopped for a new one, but it was a special order and we were without a fridge for six days.
Between one thing and another, it sure was a long and difficult week for us. When it rains, it pours.

We couldn't be any happier with our new fridge.
It has a excellent ice and water dispense. Water taste just like bottle water.

The inside is beautiful and huge.
Plenty of room for everything.

We bought the model with the little door on the side, which it has proven to be very convenient.

And the freezer has three wonderful departments that hold a lot of groceries and extra ice.
One of the best features of the freezer is that you push the door half way and it closes by itself so you never have to worry about it staying opened. 

We are extremely happy with our new purchased and we even noticed the food stays fresh longer.
Now I just hope it last for a long time. :)

I apologize for such a long post.
I hope you enjoyed this little tour of our kitchen.
I will be back soon with some more spring decor in our family room.
Until then, thank you all so much for stopping by.
