In the recent past I converted my little kitchen dining nook to having a bit of an Americana theme. It caused me to change up the look I have on the burlap covered table that's nearby.
I've blogged about this spot a few times and my Tuscan accents.
(The mirror is too high but I don't want to adjust it until I'm sure it's staying)
Because this table is so easily seen near my dining nook I needed to swing the look so it would work better with the new Americana theme I've started.
I'm debating on that mirror. It was placed there after it lost it's home over the fireplace. It's very Tuscan and I'm tempted to paint it or find a better piece for the wall. It also looks like I'm mimicking my door which I wasn't, it just happened.
I've been playing with this for a few weeks. I brought out two mercury glass candle holders so they would bring in the same metal tone as my accessories over in the dining nook. I had this large white rooster hiding under the table and I was glad to have a reason to bring it out. I put the glass candle holder in the rear to create some height. I think this may qualify as "French Country" but I definitely feel it works better with my dining nook.
Good 'ole One King's Lane got me again!
It's part of a 3 pc. set.
The silks were pulled together from my stockpile.
I stuffed reindeer moss under the candle for
a little added definition.
The other two pieces have been incorporated into my plate rack.
I like how they made these tins look aged as though they were some found treasure from the past.
The smallest one got paired up with this potted sunflower that I laid on it's side. The sunflower was a pick from Pottery Barn a few years ago.
Standing back in my kitchen this is my view. I'm planning to change that elephant table for the blue pottery piece. It was used because it's solid and provided a safe spot for it, but it's not what I want there.
This is one piece that I have in mind for that spot.
The chicken wire lantern piece on the table was another Pottery Barn find from a few years back.
They called it "farm wire" I have a matching serving tray that goes with it as shown here, which also shows how the wall looked before the picture came in.
I do plan to change out the picture kind of seasonally.
I also want to paint the door but I need to figure out what color. I would also love some wainscoting on the wall by the kitchen nook...that's been on the list for 20 years...
So that's my current tweak.... what have you been tweaking?
