MY kitchen has undergone many accessory and curtain changes in the past couple of years. I love roosters, I have to say, they are cute and just warm up a space. But On the flip side, I feel I can over do it with them. I will show you some Accessory changes I have made, and my current state of kitchen. I do Love my dining area in the Spring and Summer time. Our window acts as the perfect back drop for color. Very green and plush with all the Woods behind our home. Makes for a lot of work come Fall and Spring, but I still Love it!
Look even rooster valances...no longer with me!
As you can see these roosters have been everywhich way and place in my kitchen
Now for the current state.........I have brought in more cobalt blue, I have always loved that color and thought with our Old World family room which also has blue scattered about, this would tie the rooms together nicely.
I added this cobalt blue plate, as you can see we are getting read to cook dinner....Pasta night!
I keep my dish soap in a decorative bottle
My first and only cloche
New pottery set my Father in law recently brought for us, from a potter in Upstate New York
Really loving Cobalt blue
My French candy sign from Ballard designs....I did splurge however it was on sale!
Fabulous Pasta dish my husband actually cooked for my Birthday!
I spy with my little eye, yes, another yellow painted item I am still counting how many things I used this color on..
Thought I would make a home made arrangement from my Garden and woods instead of buying more fresh flowers this week
And here is the current state of mind for the kitchen, with once again valance changes..
Today I am joining in on the

HI Deb! You know I have always LOVED your kitchen and today I see some views I never saw before! I love your new cobalt blue things!!! Bright and colorful for Spring/ Summer!!! I have been BUSY planting flowers and mulching. Back is aching:):) I am TOO OLD for this:):) Our property seems like it is alot like yours: wooded! Have a great Sunday, sweetie. XO, Pinky
I love your sense of style and the fact that you are not afraid to use bold colors in your home! Also, love that pottery set! :o)
Beyond beautiful...once again, I am rethinking my current decor. Thanks! (said in a sarcastic, yet totally impressed tone)
How nice, I really am liking the colbalt blue or peacock blue, and i don't even like blue lol.. I love the plate above the stove and the new pottery..you are like me with change..it's hard because I enjoy so many things and colors. But most right now having a cup of coffee looking out your kitchen windows to the woods AHHH!!!

I LOVE your kitchen! It's funny but I see a lot of similarities between yours and mine. Although the overall colours are different, I have some of your same accessories in my house.. including my little yellow rooster that sits on my kitchen island. I'll be a regular follower.
Thanks

I Love, Love, Love your Table please tell where you found it. I also love your sign from Ballard. You have a wonderful kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
THe table I am afraid to say is one of a kind...we bought it in South Florida from Spanish decor store where it was imported from Spain....
Very very pretty! I love your corner sink. All the colors are great.
Debbie, you have exquisite taste and just the right touch for putting everything where it will look best. The colors are what I really love. That blue is wonderful, plus the reds, and greens, and yellows. Thank you for sharing on the Boardwalk Bragfest!
LOVING your kitchen and dining room. Your tile backsplash is just yummy.
Warm blessings,
Spencer
Your kitchen is incredible! The new pop of blue is a beautifully stunning addition. It looked good before but the blue is the best.
I think the addition of the cobalt to the yellow was brilliant! It looks gorgeous! LOVE your Ballard Sign! This blog hop thing is cool!
I love the contrast of the cobalt and all the golden yellows!
I've been a domestic goddess this week ...making new SOUTHWEST CURTAIN TIE-BACKS Stop by for a visit and viewing if you can find time! Have a great weekend.
