Though there were no major changes in this area it was the little changes that made such a large impact from changing the paint color to switching out/adding accessories.

I was planning on changing out the cafe curtains to buffalo check ones but I decided that I really preferred the toile ones I already had up. I did however change out the toppers. You can not see them here because the light from outside was so bright.

Here is a picture I took with my phone one morning trying to get you a glimpse of the lace curtain toppers. They truly add to the charm of the entire space and were very simple to make. No sewing involved!

Cherished pieces like this pie safe my father in law made for us when we got married help make the space warm and inviting.

The rolling pin was The Hubsters grandmothers.

Another simple touch was to add some vintage lace and vintage buttons to this lampshade.

Where you can find me blogging! One day I would LOVE to rip out this built in desk area and replace it with a built in china hutch with some chicken wire but I do not see that happening anytime in the distant future so I did my best to make it look as appealing as possible.

I added bead board wallpaper to the back of the cabinet to match the real bead board we used for our custom stove hood.

Lace curtain to help hide the everyday necessities. Yes, I know you can still see a little bit peeking thru but I did not want to put a heavier fabric on here. I think it would have weighed it down too much. I like the light and airy feeling the lace gives it.

Vintage prints found at a local second hand shop. I had purchased one of them and left the other behind to only have my dear friend Brenda surprise me with it! I so glad she did because they are just perfect here. In a world with no money constraints The Hubster and I would love to just demo this section of counter out because it is just wasted space that collects clutter. We would prefer to have the area open and to have a longer island. Again though that will not be happening in this lifetime.
