Heirloom treasures……

 

My mother-in-law recently gifted me with a couple of family heirlooms.

This beautiful cake dome was one of the treasures.

The glass is really thick, I was surprised at how heavy the dome is.

The other thing she gifted me was the small wood cutting board.

I also picked up these glass cannisters the other day when we were at the antique mall.

 

Have a great week my friends!

Hope you had a great week?!?!

Today I am sharing beautiful kitchens since my

own kitchen is in need of a little refreshing.

I absolutely LOVE this kitchen.

I wish my own kitchen were large enough to add an island like this one.

We have been having a little fall weather this week.

The beginning of the week started off warm then turned

dreary, rainy, and cool!

I guess fall has arrived finally?!?!

Antique slate chalkboard…..

 

 

A few years ago the former mayor of our town gifted us with a piece of slate used as a chalkboard in an old school. He thought we might like it since we live in an old schoolhouse. We knew right away where we would use it but several years passed and the project kept getting put on the back burner. For years we had a small chalkboard in a gold frame in this spot. The electrical panel for the house is actually on this wall and we use the chalkboard to cover it up. A recent upgrade to a bigger electrical box forced us to dig that old piece of slate out and make a frame for it so we could finally hang it up to cover the new larger box.

My husband used an old piece of trim board he had been hoarding for years. He cut it in half to make this chunky frame for the piece of slate.

The chalkboard has lines etched into the slate. If you run your finger over the line you can feel the groove. My husband tested it out and wrote the first phone number on the chalkboard.

He added a piece of wood on the bottom and made a groove in it to hold the pieces of chalk.The slate chalkboard is a hefty piece…..it took the two of us to get it hung on the wall!!!!!

New shades in the kitchen…….

Okay, I have to admit…..I have had the shades up in

the kitchen for a few months now.

At first I did not like them but they sort of grew

on me after a while!

I really,really wanted the shades that Pottery Barn offers

but as you can imagine my windows are very

large and are a custom size.

So, I bought the shades and added the grosgrain ribbon myself.

I bought the ribbon on eBay

and attached it to the shades with fabric glue.

It was an easy process, just very time consuming.

I like that the shades don’t

block the light and offer privacy when needed.

Cluck,cluck,cluck……roosters in the kitchen!

 

A few years ago I got rid of all my

chickens in the kitchen since they were no longer “in style.”

I instantly regretted my decision and ever since then

they have been finding their way back in.

Over the weekend I found this one

at my favorite antique mall,

Mission Road Antique Mall.

Although he is meant

for the great outdoors I couldn’t stand

putting him out there and

risk him loosing more of his wonderful paint.

 

Have a great week my friends!!!!!!
