Decorating Fun

So yes, I am still a little MIA from Blogland.  I just need to concentrate on quilting for a little longer to make some upcoming deadlines, then you should see me a little more….hopefully.  🙂  I thought I would share how I decorated with my goodies that I brought home recently.  While I love primitives, I don’t like a cluttered look.  Nor do I like a “dark” look.  I love antiques.  I would pick an antique over a piece of reproduction furniture that has been painted to look old given the choice.  Not always, but most of the time.  I’ll start with the kitchen.  I wanted to change out my roosters that were above my cabinets.  I was accumulating a few too many and they were looking a little too cutesy for me.

The basket and scale were the “new” purchases from my goodies.  The crocks and others were all from my stash.  I love when I can find buried treasures in my home.  Just like shopping our stash for quilting!!!  I have not decided on the coffee grinder yet…he might not have a permanent residence there.  Hmmm???

 I love how the new look compares to the way it was.  Of course I didn’t take a before photo, but I found one so you get the idea.

 Please pay no attention to Kristin and I looking our finest while making pierogi and notice the roosters on top of the cabinets.  Big improvement!!  I haven’t totally done away with the roosters.  There are still a few sprinkled around. 

I’m still undecided if I will keep the roosters there or not.  I just could not get a very good pic with everything all together.

Moving on…I added the decorative balls to the basket of fabric ones I already had.

Sweet little chick…

The rest of the photos are either some Easter decor pics or other new little decor additions.

A nice new welcome for guests at the front door!  Sorry for the photo overload.  🙂  Hope everyone has a great weekend!
