See how this post was supposed to be about a new shelf I put in the kitchen… but it’s turning into a story about a cupcake? Why does that always happen to me? ;)
I was Goodwill hopping the other day when I spied this cutey little shelf for $3.50!! Woot! I’ve been looking for a nice shelf to hang over the kitchen table that I could decorate with plates and teapots and cute kitchen things. This one, while a bit smaller than the one in my imagination, was a great price and in perfect condition! When I got it home, I hung it on the wall behind the kitchen table… a sad and neglected little corner which is usually just a landing spot for purse, lunchbox, mail, cat toys, etc. :) While it still functions as such, at least it has a bit more pizzazz after my little addition:
I moved the flower picture to the opposite wall to accommodate the new shelf. And of course after I hung the shelf, I ran around looking for cute things to put on it. The teapot was number one, since I’d been imagining it up there for a while, then I found a blue polka dot plate. After that I had to get creative… so I framed up a little quote. It’s a take off those “Keep Calm and Carry On” posters you see everywhere. But why “carry on” when you could just eat a cupcake? Then the little kitty cat salt and pepper shakers joined the fun to round out the display. This is mind-blowing stuff, I know. ;)
Just a little bit more cute for my kitchen. :)
Hope you enjoyed the update! I’ll be back with more fun from the Horvath House, namely— A Fence For Riley, and Spring garden pics!
