I Found "It"!

Remember this post from a week or so ago?

I was on a mission to find the 

perfect "thing" for a vignette 

I had in my head for 

the top of the china hutch

in the kitchen eating area.

Welllll....luck was on my side

when I was shopping at

Hobby Lobby this past weekend.

They were having one of their

in-between seasons 

66% off sales.

And I found "IT"!

This sweet vintage looking 

plaque with chicken wire

only set me back

a little over $5.00!

It is the perfect piece!

It is exactly what I had imagined there.

Here is a view of the top of

the hutch.

The right side

And the left side.

The printers drawer is one of my favorite Goodwill finds from last summer!

It was, of course, 50% off that day

so I got it for $7.99.

More than I have ever paid for anything, 

other than furniture,

at a thrift store but,

I had to have it, right?

The aluminum stock pot

was actually in the "to be donated" pile

but has found a new life without ever leaving our

home.

I would like to find an enameled stock pot at some point

but for now, the shiny one is okay.

Another Goodwill find is

the sweet, off white, pitcher 

with the handpainted flowers.

It used to sit on top of the fridge

but I like that I can see it better in 

its new home.

Since I was going with a homey theme

I changed up the

decor in the main part of the hutch too.

You may have seen the salad plates

when I used them on this tablescape.

I started with some silver plate and chrome chargers in the back, 

then my Johnson Bros. white dishes 

and the farm fresh plates 

layered over some bandanas that were a suggestion from Mr. B.

The next shelf holds just a 

small sampling 

of my glassware collection.

And finally Mr. Rooster

alone on the bottom shelf.

I am so pleased with how 

the cabinet looks.

It feels so warm and cozy

which is the perfect way to feel

this time of year.

Of course, Valentine's Day is not

to far away

so, I will be changing this all out again before then!

Oh poor Mr. B!

He just can't understand why I can't just

leave things be.

My answer?  

Where's the fun in that???
