Easy Kitchen Art

April 27, 2010 by Aliesha

As I mentioned in my post last night, I spent a little time working on an art project for the kitchen. I cut scrapbooking paper to fit the inside of these acrylic box frames (they stick out from the wall about an inch), popped the paper in, put the back on, stuck a few nails in the wall, and hung them up! The project took ten whole minutes, and that includes the time I spent hammering nails. The cost was minimal as well, since the frames were on clearance for $.79 each. The paper was $.99/sheet, which I thought was kind of expensive for scrapbooking paper, but I used less than 1/4 of each sheet, so I have lots leftover for card making or other projects.

Totally easy project! Now I don’t have to look at a blank wall while I wash dishes! And, if I get tired of this “look,” I can easily swap out the paper for something else (pictures, other paper, quotes, Bible verses, etc.). Fun!

House Tour: Kitchen and Breakfast Nook

April 6, 2010 by Aliesha

Welcome to our first house tour! Since we can’t invite all of you over to come see our new house, I thought I’d post pictures every now and then so you can see how our house is looking! The first room we have “settled into” is the kitchen, so we’ll start here.
Bench below the windowsill (laundry is in kitchen, so this bench will come in handy for folding/sorting!)
Lots of pretty kitchen utensils/gadgets we were given as wedding presents
Fruit basket filled with Tad’s favorite: Granny Smith apples
The view from our kitchen into our breakfast nook
I love everything in this picture: shabby-chic table, white cake pedestal, green ramekin, white butter dish and little birdies salt & pepper shakers
Wreath my mom made us displayed in our breakfast nook
Coffee station in our breakfast nook
Love the sign (thanks, Angela!) and the pink dogwood (tree is outside the breakfast nook window)
Our sink (there is a fish living in the mason jar)
Green pears in a ceramic damask dish

Hope you enjoyed this little tour of our kitchen! I’ll continue to post pictures as we tackle more rooms and projects!
