a little hutch redo...

Well call me crazy but I changed a few things round in my kitchen (which you will see very soon) which led to a few changes on my hutch.
this is how it was in  my last post....

I ended up moving my urns into the kitchen and replaced them with pink ones and now it looks like this...





I added a vintage crocheted runner, a silvery mirror, a ribbed bird cloche and some vintage salt and pepper shakers.. changed over the pines to faux flowers.. and to add to the xmas cheer just a handful of pink baubles.... quite a different look but much softer which I'm lovin' and sort of goes better with what's on my sideboard.

ok Ill be showing you my kitchen once I upload all the pics,
bye for now

new curtains...


Hi girls, this pretty bunch of roses sitting on my kitchen window is what greets me every morning.. I only planted it last year near my vegie patch and it's doing really well..yes, I do love spring!

I managed to hang my curtains up.. and have to say I'm pretty happy with them!






they are sort of a sheer open weave linen with a very faint beige checked pattern on them .. exactly what i was looking for..

at night the pattern stands out more. They have sort of a shabby french feel which I'm lovin' and I scored them from Big W if anyone is interested here in Aussie land.

I also changed a few things around on my sideboard and stuck to a white and silver theme with just a few touches of pink..


my hutch is still simplified from before and I'm liking the look too.. i think I might keep it this way. As you can see I have a lot less roses but I still need my fix of pink here and there.
 bye for now,
take care,
Maryann xxx

trying to declutter...


Hi girls, wow it's been a while since my last post but in all honesty I haven't had much to say. Not much has happened around here. It's still winter here and this year I promised myself I wouldn't winge too much about the cold hoping that it would make winter feel like it passed quicker and I have to say it worked. Only 4 more weeks to go .. yay!

In an effort to do a little more decluttering I decided to redo my buffet and hutch. Here are some before pics. The one above goes back awhile and the one below not so long ago.



This was probably more recent .. mmm.. maybe I should have left it like this!

but I did change it to this..


I did originally have everything white on there but it didn't last long, I found myself putting some pink back!! Clutter or no clutter?? is a question I often find myself asking and can't seem to answer as I like the look of both.  



I picked up these plates for $2 each from house warehouse.. I love the frenchy look of them and they were cheap enough for me to buy a couple of sets for everyday use.



Well for now it stays like this,.. it's soo much easier to keep clean but don't be surprised if I change it all back!

take care, Maryann
