Decorating for Spring ~ The Kitchen

And for the final installment in this little spring decorating series, it's the kitchen!

I found a couple new, super cute things that I've added to some of my existing items.
I'm really liking the fresh & springy look.

Here's how it ended up:

I always wanted under-the-counter lighting but haven't had any installed just yet.

I found this little lamp & decided to give it a try.

With a 25-watt bulb, it gives off a soft glow in the evening ... I think it's a keeper.

I sat it, along with the new porcelain chicken {2.99}, on a few of my favorite

cookbooks to give it some height.

I especially love the shabby chic chalkboard {TJ Maxx $7.99}.

I keep a scripture or encouraging quote written on it.

My antique blue mason jar became a great place for this new bunch of $1 tulips.

I wanted to use another one of my antique jars {given to me by my m-i-l}, so I bought
some inexpensive greenery, clipped it apart & made this little arrangement.
It sits on the window sill.

All the items on the top of the cabinets were moved from other parts of the house ...
the china cabinet, the living room, etc.
Using them in a whole new setting makes them seem like new again.

I need some plastic brown-speckled eggs for my basket, huh?!

I found these curtains {the whole set} on the clearance rack at Walmart ... marked $7.

They rang up for $5!

I'll keep these up til fall.

This springy look will carry into summer, probably til it's time to put out the pumpkins,
goards, & scarecrows.
