Our kitchen has a nifty little shelf above the kitchen windows. The previous owners had some stencil action going on up there, but we were ready for something different.
We had a little beadboard wallpaper left from this project and this project. Man, have we gotten our mileage from that roll!
I started putting it up, and then realized we were not going to have enough:
Enter a little $2 globe from the YMCA thrift store:
Thank you, little globe for playing cover up~you mean the world to our kitchen! (ha!)
I painted the beadboard wallpaper the same color as our back entryway, and have been putting my collection of white vases from thrift stores and yard sales. I haven’t paid more than $1 for any of them, except the white pitcher is from Target for around $10? Nate says that collections look more un-clutterish if they are all the same color, so I am trusting him. (ok, maybe he didn’t use that word) I have a dream of someday putting flowers in ALL of them for a special occasion.
I’ve been trying out some curtains, and am having some second thoughts….I’ll ask you what you think tomorrow. AND I made a light fixture to go above the sink. Yikes…
Happy Thursday~
WHY CAN"T I FIND A HOW TO MAKE THOSE SHELVES above the sink! I am dying to tackle that project?! Also where am I going to find that wallpaper! When are you coming over, I forgot again when you said.....LOVES
ReplyDeleteLove how you used the globe to hide the missing beadboard- I would have never thought of that and would immediately gone into panic mood about what to do! I also collect white vases,cake strands,pitchers whatever I can find. In fact I bought the same vase 3rd from left in last photo for 25 cents at a yard sale just 2 weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteWe share a lot of the same milk glass pieces...I love your collection!
ReplyDeleteYour shelf looks great!
I would love to see a wide screen shot of the cabinets with the collection on top
ReplyDeleteLove it! The globe "world" joke made me laugh. I love puns :)
ReplyDeletexo!
Love the little shelf. Perhaps you might move the Tj pitcher where the globe is. I'm always decorating large to small. My OCD I guess.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the globe for some reason. I love the colors up there. Your kitchen has so many possibilities! Can't wait to see all you do.
I can't wait to see the whole thing!! I love all the white vases grouped together- I feel the same way, it doesn't look cluttery if they're all the same color. And I LOVE your solution for the little space where you ran out of beadboard- brilliant! I do stuff like that too. :)
ReplyDeleteclever lady...love the look so much better than the wallpaper
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I had to laugh about the globe.

ReplyDeleteHi Kylee~
ReplyDeleteI would hesitate to use it as a backsplash because it gouges and marks
easily (see my fingernail marks in my first tutorial post) Maybe you could
use the beadboard sheets for your backsplash? I know Nester used them and
hot glued them up!

Great cover up idea! Also love your white collection!
