Today while sweeping I got a wild hair..I moved the buffet over to the middle of the wall and added my Blue Sunflower vase, which looks so nice next to my wallhanging. Then I added the plate hanger...I had it hanging in our old house and loved the look so after 2 years it's back up! I carefully placed my DH's G'ma's Rooster plates on there, DH used to eat breakfast on these while growing up with G'ma Graves. I wonder how much trouble I'll be in when he gets home..but they are too cute to store away!! They have no markings on the back, could they be hand painted?
Here is a close up of G'ma Graves painted Rooster plates...If these fall send in help cuse I'll be missing FOREVER...LOL..Later this summer I hope to find some Blue dessert plates to replace these and I think I'll paint the plate holder black.
I'm standing on my step up Kitchen now, I like the view from up here..Maybe find something to add height to the flower vase.
I'm debating on adding the long curtains to this window, I have the matching panels but not sure how it would look in the kitchen...Suggestions?
That's all that I was abl to do between folding more laundry and taking care of Lil A that is running a slight fever, it's got to be the strange weather we are having, last Sat. was so nice we let them run outside and play then today we are supposed to have Thunderstorms..UGGHH..

Those plates are too sweet to be stored away in a box...out of sight! And the story of your hubby eating breakfast off of them when he was young is full of history and memories! Those should always be out for people to enjoy!
I can see your kitchen in the mirror and it looks nice too!
I like windows unadorned, or with just a valance...especially if the view is really nice!
Heather, I love those little rooster plates. They look like Blue Ridge pottery to me, but I could be wrong. I have never seen roosters on that type of pottery, but they way they are painted and the colors make me think of them. Maybe you should do some research on them? They are quite special.
Welcome to the blogland!
You have a lovely home!

Your plates are adorable!
Thank for stopping by. The plan is to paint the kitchen a yellow color, the corner cabinet, red and the kitchen cabinets an off white. I am hoping I can pull it all together.
Have a great day!
Looking good :) I think you're doing great and you're decorating with stuff you already have so it's free! Hubby can't be annoyed with that :)

Looks real nice Heather, don't you just love it when you get a bee in your bonnet and change things around?
