Eat In Area Is Done

Hello friends,
I'm finished with this part of the kitchen. I decided to go in a different direction in the kitchen.I'm going  for the natural,and simple feeling!! If that's the right way to describe it!! Not too much,but i think just enough.I'm starting to work on the other side of the kitchen now.I think i will be done with it soon.Here you have it!!



 
I found the big breadboard at the thrift shop for $5.00.Then i added two smaller ones that i had.I took out the old scale that i bought at the consignment shop,and found the right place for my topiaries. This is so different then i'm use to,but it's growing on me!! 


  
I bought new blinds at jcp. I went with oak this time!!


 
  My big dough bowl is back on the table!!


 
I planted some fresh ivy. 

 
 I bought this picture at the salvation army years ago.It's hand painted on wood.


 
Here is a close up.I love pictures of barns!

 
The barrel is back in it's rightful place. 


This is the big glass bottle i bought at the thrift shop. I had to spruce it up with some twine,and added some branches. That's it!! 


This is better with the switchplate on !!!:)
Have a great day!

It's always nice to mix things up every so often, Kathy. It seems like this was a good opportunity {although, I'm sorry you had to deal with all that}. It all looks lovely!
