A COUPLE OF NEW DISPLAYS

I worked on a couple of displays today.

First, I did a little tweaking in the great room.  I removed the Sweet Annie from the pitcher on top of the book case.  (See header photo.)  I like the simpler look better.

I wanted to do something different, and simple, on my coffee table.  I remembered seeing a wooden bowl with dried orange slices on someone’s blog (sorry I don’t remember where I saw it).  So I thought I would give it a try.  My coffee table is a black leather-covered trunk.  I placed an old coverlet scrap under a wooden bowl and then put some dried orange slices in the bowl.  I liked it, but it seemed to need a little something else.  I added a few dried oranges that I bought last year and it turned out just the way I wanted.  I think I will keep it this way for a while.

Next, I worked on a couple of displays in the kitchen.  I did a little tweaking on my stove board, using a cutting board to cover the clock.



I moved the cubby bin and pitcher of spoons from the counter to my dry sink “island”.  Then I added a couple of butter paddles and a wooden butter mold.  The old jars were a gift from my sister.




The reason I moved the items from the kitchen counter is that my hubby got me a Keurig coffee pot, so I needed the space.  I’ve asked him to build a cover for it – hopefully that will happen soon.  I will post a picture when he gets it done.I am still working on a display for the wash stand in the hall bathroom – I just haven’t found the look I want yet.  I would also like to do something different in our master bedroom - I’m still waiting for inspiration there too.  But the fun of decorating is tweaking, isn’t it?

I hope you are all having a blessed week, 
Sue
