Kitchen Is Coming Along

Thanks so much for your input on my kitchen with the high ledge.  I feel like the ledge shouldn’t be ignored and when I was in Hobby Lobby I did see some large size pieces that may work.  If I put a few substantial pieces up there, it will look better and be easier to deal with {cleaning} than several smaller size pieces.  Meanwhile, I added my three faux greenery pieces to the tops of the cabinets.

This picture just shows two; the third is behind me.  I also brought out my bunny tray {in my living room at the old house} and a metal grill {formerly dining room}.  I stuck a fairly large topiary piece up there just to see how it looked and since it is out of the way at the moment, I left it there until I find something better.

I added this great cake stand that I got from One Kings Lane a few months ago to the top of the refrigerator with some herb labeled pots that I’ve had for awhile now.  That cabinet is so ridiculously far back, I can’t see ever using it, so I’m okay with putting accessories in front of it.

I also worked on the cabinet with the glass doors.  I added my white pieces.  Not as many as I thought I had, but I’m sure I’ll be adding to it over time!

Then added in some Beatrix Potter figurines.  I also found two battery operated string lights that I will be able to use at night.

I’m thinking of using three of the sandwich plates that are part of my white set of everyday dishes on plate stands in the middle of each shelf.  Just to make it stand out more; the back looks pretty bland.

My favorite addition so far is adding this scrolly metal piece {that was in my living room in the other house} over the kitchen door leading to the pantry, laundry and garage.

We still need to get the lighting to go underneath the cabinets.  Having no window in here makes that a must.  I took these pictures just using the overhead lighting, plus it is cloudy and raining here today.  The perfect trifecta for crappy pictures!  Hopefully, I’ll get some better ones in the future.
