I'm on a mission to happy-ify our kitchen. I spend tons of time in there, so it makes sense to fill it with things that make me happy, right?
The first thing I did was make a happy pennant banner. I raided my scrapbook paper stash, and pulled out anything that worked with my color scheme. Half and hour later I was up on a chair with a drill, hanging my happy banner.
In this shot you can also see that I painted the window trim. All the window and door trim has been painted white, and I am working up the motivation to paint the cabinets and crown molding now! Oh, and there's a sneek peak at our new faucet that I LOVE.
A pretty plant in my window makes me smile. Plus, I can't kill it, so double smile. :)Three of the four plants in there are fake. :) Take that black thumb!
I love these dishtowels so much. I have three or four of them, and I wish I had purchased a dozen. :) They're pretty, absorbent and not scratchy. It's hard to find the perfect dishtowel, wouldn't you agree?
I painted a Katie Daisy inspired painting with one of my favorite quotes by Mother Teresa. For now it's hanging to the left of the big picture window, but that could always change. :)
And lastly, a little plaque with an awesome picture of little man and I, with a verse that has a story to it. I'll share it another day.
So those are the most recent updates. All little things that make me smile, and make me love this room a little more. Now, to paint those cabinets!! :) Happy Monday!
Hey Jenny! So exciting that you are expecting another baby. James and I are expecting too! Stephanie is excited out of her mind about all the babies! I had a question, you know that bunting you put above your window, how long does that last and look ok? I want to make one for the baby's room and I want it to be a staple decoration in the room for the next year or so. Just wondering! I love reading your blog! Thanks for all the cute tips :)
ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I put a paper bunting up in Javi's room (it was a shower decoration that Steph made) and it lasted until last month. I just taped it up onto the wall with masking tape, so it probably would have lasted even longer if I had hung it properly. Also, it was hung a bit low, so a certain toddler was involved in the destruction of said bunting. :)
Jenny
Thanks! We're renting right now so we're leaving the walls white (which is apparently is a super modern nursery look, who knew?) I'm looking for ways to do little pops of color to tie the room together. I'll let you know if we do it! Thanks!
