Too much and it looks like the Tchotchke Fairy threw up in your kitchen.

Too little and it looks a bit forlorn.

There was the “don’t
do anything at all” school of thought, but that would have been too easy. I’ve
never been known to do anything the easy way - ask the Rock Star after he has
moved the sofa for the umpteenth time only to return it to its original space.
Well, I guess that was easy for me, just not easy for the Rock Star.

I'm hoping I got it just right.

Some say silk plants are a no-no, but mine are easy to clean and I like greenery. The Rock Star reminded me that we are WAAY farther away than 19km from Paris AND it's not west of us. (He's just being difficult because of the sofa incident). I may need to replace my little Paris sign with a larger sign. I have these in my Etsy shop, but my EAT signs are larger and would certainly work in this space. The tureen was made by my mother-in-law in ceramics class. She is the sweetest lady in the world.

More silk no-nos, again easy clean and terrific space fillers. I'm looking for artificial herbs to replace the jade plants for a more kitchen theme, but for now...

Well, my blogger friends, thanks for coming this far with me. I appreciate constructive criticism and advice - especially if it keeps me from returning to painting.
I really like the fern hanging around the clock. Just right. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie! Our cat, Sequoia, used to manage to get up there at night. I'd find her in the morning, smiling down at us from her perch atop the pantry door and wonder how on earth she got up that high. She's older now (aren't we all) and I've given her a stool so she can get on top of the clothes dryer and peak out the laundry room window.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is looking fabulous!! You know I like to put the cart before the horse and decorate before the room is done, so I totally get it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou fell off my blog roll somewhere along the way and I thought you just weren't posting anymore. I'm linked up again and can't wait to see what your up to!
Thanks so much - I'm glad you're back! I seemed to lose several friends when I got my new laptop. Darned technology anyway. It couldn't possibly be operator error....
ReplyDeleteI think you got it JUST RIGHT, Linda. It looks great and I do think a nice big EAT sign up there would be really sweet- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you Diana - glad you stopped by. I do think I will switch out the signs, as soon as I get the energy to paint another one :)
ReplyDeleteI happen to love the greenery. It really adds something to the mix. A little larger sign? I agree, but only if it's convenient to get one up there. Everything looks great. Not too much, not too minimalistic either. It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maggie. I appreciate your input - and I adore your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think you've got it just right. I think greenery always adds the perfect touch. Great blog, I'll be following. Can't wait to see the complete reveal.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
Thank you Patti. Now the pressure is on to actually finish before gardening season begins!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of fake plants, too! Set 'em and forget 'em, I say. Yours look great. Your entire cupboard tops look great! (They're hard to photograph way up there, aren't they?) I love the French theme. And your mother-in-law is really good with clay; what a beautiful terrine. As always, I'm looking forward to seeing more. (But no pressure! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurel! I appreciate the encouragement. Barring any further interruptions (by life in general) I will be finished this weekend. Whoo! Whoo! Of course, that just means I'll have to find another project.
