Christmas Fridgetop Vignette

 

When you come in our home through the back door

the first view that a persons eyes fall upon from the back porch doorway

is the top of our fridge.

So I try to keep it interesting.

 

 

I started with this Christmas ornament cloth.

 

 

And kept the herbed vinegar and lantern

that I had used in my fall vignette.

 

 

And added a little gold gift and a wreath

along with a candle on the other side of the wreath.

I love decorating the top of the fridge

because it makes the whole kitchen

feel ready for Christmas.

Now, just to do some Christmas baking :)

Teapot Vignette

I decided to switch up my dining room vignette.

This is what it looked like before.

It was lovely for spring but summer has arrived

and it was time for a change.

I decided to use this little teapot and cream and sugar set

with the hydrangeas on them.

I love hydrangeas and this set was a gift from my parents.

The little frame window was a yard sale find

and the little milk bottle is light pink.

I added this teacup because the color

pulloed out the blue on the hydrangeas wonderfully.

A candle that was a gift from my daughter

adds the finishing touch

and my little corner of the dining room

is ready for summer.

Porch Vignette

I wanted to make one of the spaces in our porch

more welcoming

as it is normally a spot that collects clutter.

So, I started collecting a few things

from what I had around the house,

a few things from Dollarama and thrift stores

and a few things from yard sales.

This little garden ornament was from Dollarama.

I love butterflies and bees and flowers.

This little basket I found at a thrift store.

I love the vines on it.

This pretty little plaque was also a thrift store find.

I just love the colors.

This little jug was given to me many years ago.

I thought it went well with the pretty little box

that I found at Dollarama.

The flowers I had on hand

and can't wait until there are enough flowers

blooming in my garden to cut and add here.

I like my new little vignette

and hope it is a cheery welcome

for my back door friends :)

Awkward Space Update for Summer

Do you remember my Awkward Space?

Well, it got a little update for summer

with a few yard sale finds.

First I changed the flowers

from the tulips to the lilies.

Then I added this cute little lamp which was a yard sale find.

And at the same yard sale I also found

this wonderfully long cloth that covered both bookcases

and gave it a softer look.

It always surprises me how just a few simple things can change a look.

Summer Table Vignette

I loved the colors so much when I did my

Welcome Home Tablescape

that I decided to use them for a summer table vignette.

I find this very practical for the table that we use every day.

And I love the purple, pinks and oranges.

It's so bright and cheery which has been nice

since outside it has been so gray and rainy.

I actually used the napkin rings as part of the vignette

and then when I set the table

they are right there to pop onto the napkins.

I find it is a quick, easy and practical way

to have a pretty table without a lot of fuss.

Outdoor Vignette

I so enjoy having my morning cup of coffee

on the back deck.

I have a wonderful view of the backyard

as I watch the sun come up.

I found this wonderful little ice bucket

at a recent yard sale.

I wasn't sure where I was going to put it

but I knew it would be perfect somewhere.

I also found this basket of flowers

at the same yard sale.

So why not use them to make a little vignette

by my favorite morning spot?

I added this lantern that I have had for years and years.

The color matches perfectly with the little ice bucket :)

Now I have a pretty little corner to add enjoyment to my morning.

Now, if only the weather would warm up.
