| This is the breakfast nook at our first home. We always place our beloved pie safe in the breakfast area in all of our homes. I have always had a tough time decorating around it though. |
 |
| Here it is at our last house. Again nothing to write home about. |
 |
| And here it was just last week in our current home. I have never really shared pictures of our kitchen or breakfast nook because well they just were not all that exciting as you can see. |
 |
| Here it is just a few days ago after Oldest knocked almost everything off the top of the pie safe. This is one of my keeping it real pics folks!;) Anyways, since that happened it started the whirlwind redesign of this space. It was just the kick in the pants I needed to get my decorating ideas flowing. |
 |
| A few days ago HomeGoods had this fabulous little plate rack that I HAD to bring home. I was not sure where I was going to place it but again I HAD to bring it home!;) Good thing too cause I had the perfect spot for it right on top of the pie safe. Who knew! |
 |
| I kept the little lamp and my little Gnomes. They are quirky like me so they had to stay. |
 |
| Then I brought out some small white plates that I had purchased for the dinning room. I love the subtle design on them. They ended up being the only plates that would fit the piece. |
 |
| Then I just added a few more small accessories. Nothing major but enough. |
 |
| Next up came the side areas of the pie safe. I had this picture in my pile of things to take out and sell out at the cottage but I pulled it and placed it here and am so glad I did. It is perfect for this spot! |
 |
| This is my favorite little spot! I next pulled out a few of my herb crates and hung them on the wall. It made a perfect spot to show case The Hubster's grandmothers rolling pin! I then had the stool just sitting in the guest room and pulled it out cause there needed to be something to fill the space. Placed a little greenery in the top herb crate as the final touch. I think it worked out perfectly! |
 |
| Here is the whole picture! I would say much much better! Before I go though let me share a few more touches to our breakfast area since I have never really taken you on a tour. |
 |
| This here is my $10 brass chandy I purchased back when we first moved in. I painted it up and made it showcase worthy. |
 |
| I love my little Welcome sign. It hangs by the back door. |
 |
| I brought out the large cloche that I had made from our old foyer light fixture. It use to sit on the dining room table. |
 |
| And I kept our blue backdoor that I had painted last summer. I was not sure about it but now I love it! I am still needing to make one more set of cafe curtains for this area and after that this area is done! Thanx for stopping by! Hope your Monday is going well.
