I have been so sick for the last couple of days but the movers came as scheduled and we got loaded, unloaded into the new apartment, then we sorted the bins to the appropriate rooms.
I was exhausted and weak but I was set on getting at least my kitchen done before I went to bed. The kitchen and dinner table, to me, are the heart of the home. I wanted that done first. (well, as I was also getting beds ready too!)
Plus we are trying to budget so we needed to be able to fix our meals here asap.
Well I got everything unloaded and put away then decorated.
Here’s how it looks..
This is on one wall I love the sweet little picture and the beautiful angel came from my friend, Cathy! (Thanks Cathy!)
It says, “Friends are Angels on Earth.”
Just beautiful!
The front of the fridge. Bella Grace’s announcement, a “Friends” magnet and a beautiful notepad are all that’s there. So fresh. (Thanks Cathy for the beautiful notepad!!)
This is the upclose of the top of the notepad.
Isn’t it pretty?!?
The right side of my kitchen counter top area…
(adorable vintage looking sign came from Target for $2.50 in the Dollar Spot.)
(The cute recipe box was in the dollar bin at Michaels – brought all this from the other apartment, of course)
My little teacup set up. I have always loved teacups and teapots.
Plus there’s the beautiful trivet from my mother in law and our picture together.
This candle was bought for $1 at Home Goods.
I got it because it matches my dinnerware.
I love the stone on it and the etched glass saying, “renew.”
My canisters and a cute little Hot Chocolate goodie I got at Home Goods for $2!
Yep, I’m on a budget, got to shop cheap and only buy what I love!
It’s vintage looking and it has a happy little lady smiling big.
It says, “Chocolate! It’s like Men… the Richer the Better!” LOL
It came with a tiny chocolate grater inside and a mini whisk.
Yes, I’m going to take it out of the package but I was trying to get things done the best I could.
I’m going to frame the cardboard back because it has the same lady with the saying.
Stove top… salt & pepper shakers and my spoon rest.
My little plaque about a Mother’s Love above my stove.
Love this it’s hanging where you walk in the front door and head to the kitchen.
It greets you there…
complete right side of tiny kitchen…
complete left side of tiny kitchen…
Little wire “egg gathering” basket on top of fridge.
I’m not sure how to fix it up but I loved it.
any ideas?
Snack time!
Yummy!
The clock I made. My picture is beside Hope’s only temporarily.
I have to get another picture from her!
This way I have 2 of each girl..
The girls bed, ready to snuggle in… but had to go grab the pillows, lol
We went cheap on everything, like we even got $1 silverware. (4 pieces for $1 and we got $8 worth) But we have learned from apartments before that buying the very cheapest dishes does not pay off. They chip so easily and break easy, especially with children.
So we didn’t go all out expensive but got some more heavy duty, pretty ones.
I love the polka dot bowls. This is a picture of the box but the actual dishes have a bit more color to them. They are sage green and white.
This is what I did first thing this morning.
The table cloth is vinyl so I can easily wipe it down.
The fake flowers vase has seashells in the bottom of it that are gorgeous.
I bought this when we first moved to Florida so it’s been in all of our places to live here.
(used in all different areas of the house, lol)
..and I couldn’t resisit…. my Sweet Hannah Joy after her bath this afternoon.
Blessings, Cass
