THE Kitchen

My next room I'd like to share is one of the happiest rooms in our apartment!
A room that I spend a lot of time in.
Where I do my crafting and where my little fishy baby Neff lives.
The Kitchen! I gave you a little preview a couple weeks ago {here} but have since completed it a bit more... but not that chair yet, don't look too close...

An AWESOME yard sale find!! I think I paid $4 for it, which to me is actually a little steep for a yard sale, but I. HAD. TO. HAVE. IT.

Whats' that you ask?? Is that Napoleon Dynamite on my fridge??
duh!
I got this for Christmas one year, it's a giant magnet that is supposed to go on your car, haha!
So I decided the fridge was the perfect place him, makes me smile every time!

Those cookies?  I actually just made them for Lee to enjoy when he got home from work, but once they were there I didn't let him touch them until after I took the picture b/c they looked like a good prop ;)

bird salt and pepper shakers from when I worked at Pier 1!

Not exactly sure where I got these... I've had them in my room in a box for a long time just waiting for a chance to use them!  So happy to finally have a place to display all my treasures!

Close up of the amazing old desk I got at a local Catholic thrift shop for $10!  (Did I blog about it before? If I didn't.... I should have.)

LCK - monogram from our wedding table! :)
Giant fork and spoon?  found at a yard sale for $1. They're aluminum and so I just spray painted them - yellow!

This antique printer's drawer may have been my Grandpa's.... not 100% sure, but I found it in my parent's old house and took ownership over it!  It now holds my vintage sewing notions and Kinder Egg toys.
I found this yellow tray, as is, in the garage at an estate sale for $2! and that tree type thing is a jewelry holder I got at IKEA in college.  I don't actually like to put my jewelry on it, I like the way it looks all by itself.

Neff-ers!

Right now my old Pepsi crate is holding miscellaneous junk... but someday I'll clear it out and it'll be on "display" 

fabric and vinyl letters - clearance at Jo Anns!

oh yea yellow Fiesta Ware! 


So that's the kitchen! 
It's.... yellow huh?

adorable bunting 4 ways!

I am excited to share a few pictures with you from my older sister's house! {not the one who is doing a vow renewal, the other one}
She is a {young}30something wife and mommy with 3 absolutely beautiful daughters.  They recently moved to California for her husband's job and she has been having a lot of fun decorating their new home!  I love her style and her new-found creativity!  {this is the sister who didn't know how to decorate before and so she just didn't}
I asked her if I could feature some of the projects she has done because she no longer blogs {long story, but basically people are creeps} and I don't have a ton of projects currently going on nor do I have a camera. 
Win!

Today I am going to be featuring the adorable bunting that she has scattered throughout their home.  I love it!

1. story book bunting - perfect for a little girl's room, and great if you have some books that are torn or the binding is falling apart.

Her girls love Alice in Wonderland!

       2. paint chip bunting - aka free bunting!

Isn't her fall mantel the cutest thing you've ever seen!  candy corn bunting!

This shelf is set up in the room that her step-son uses when he visits.  I love how she designated a special boy space just for him!  I'm sure he loves it with all the pink in the house!  Bunting aside, isn't this skateboard shelf awesome!! Good job Sister!

rainbow!

          3. handkerchief bunting!
 

this is the window above her kitchen sink.  The dainty hankies allow lots of sunlight to come in and doesn't block the great view of the woods she has!  She says deer come right up in their backyard and will eat out of your hand!

        4. Scrapbook paper bunting!

I am so thankful my sister allowed me to show her home to the world... and I have so many more great things to show you all!  Bunting is just the beginning!


ps. what do you think of this new blog header?
