Kitchen Vignette With Stitches

I wanted to spruce up this half wall in our Kitchen for some time now. The ledge is giving me trouble, I'm not happy with anything I've set on it so far. 

While drinking my cup of coffee this morning I was staring at it and an idea was formed. I love my Coffee!!

The candle sticks were purchased at a garage sale, vanilla scented votives are from Wal-Mart. The wall hanging was stitched by my Mother about 7 years ago. 

The plant stand was mailed to me in exchange for a review about 8 years ago and has held up well over time. The plant is a ponytail palm we bought from Wal-Mart 4 years ago. I've kept it alive so far! 

Close up of the saying that is stitched on the wall hanging. 

I declare this corner done...For now!

New Kitchen Vignette

This table in our Kitchen alcove is giving me fits. One day I thought I had it nicely done and then the next day I look at it and think something is "off" .....

Here in FL we missed Spring and slide right into Summer.. It's 90 outside! So with it being so Hot I decided to forgo trying to plant new flowers and instead work on this table...

Mmm.. I'm liking the Fruit themed table runner for my new French Country theme but something still seems "off". 

Here is a close-up of the Fabric on my runner..

So Please help me out and pass me some Fresh ideas, What do you Recommend?
