Loving my COuntry FrenCh Kitchen
I just adore COuntry French kitchens. Although I have gone back and forth with my roosters, first they are here then they are gone...they always seem to come back, and then I buy more in the meantime. I mentioned my FIL was just here for a nice visit. We had such a great time, and we love that he is part of our family after so many years of not being in our lives. He is an awesome GUY! And hey he said I am his favorite daughter in law ( Mike is an only child) So I for sure love him. Well, he built me a nice shelf out of love and labor. He used 100 year old gussits that where in a church...he even managed to match our stain from our kitchen cabinets, which I did not tell him what color they where. Remember the pottery he gave us? Well I now the found the perfect home for it. MY BEFORE PICS......
Well you all remember the Bon Appetit right? I have been wanting to get rid of this for so long...but first I was afraid it would ruin the wall when we took it off....NOPE it did not, blow dryer and very soft peeling removed it with no problems....I am so happy to see it go!
Here is another shot of it.....OK now onto my fun changes...
The gorgeous shelf and pottery....
Loving my New rooster picture purchased from the WOW store!
I love our candy jar we found a while back here at an antique store.
I really love the new look. I can't wait for Fall when I can put out all my pretty orange pumpkins and do some Fall festive decorating. Hope you enjoyed my Before and After...my link will be up tomorrow morning to get the party started early.
Joining in Susan's party too!

Debbie I am loving the change! The new shelf is beautiful and the pottery looks great up there. Such a great Rooster pic you got and your dining room is a keeper. I think we are all starting to get ready for getting ready for fall.
Love the changes Debbie! That pottery is just gorgeous!!
Debbie, that looks great and it will always be special because it was made by your father in law and made with love. Love the pottery, too. I want that rooster print!!
Debbie,
It all looks great! I, too, love that rooster print and that red kitchen scale. Your shelf is great and full of meaning. Neat!
I love it, it looks great! Wish I had the eye to do that kind of stuff. I just never know what to do or get!!
Wow. That was neat!
I love how Bon appetit peeled out so beautifully! Really nice!
How do you clean?? Still my question after so long!
Rooster looks really cute!
Looks great!!! I know what you mean about the Roosters- mine make their way in and out often! ;) Love the header change ;)
Debbie you know I love your kitchen and dining room. Have commented many times before. This is a wonderful change. I love the shelf so much...pssst I love it so much I would see if since your his favorite DIL he can make you another for the other side and then go higher with the plates. You could make that such a highlight area during different holidays. That is a great dining room space. Oh..I would love that. I love your rooster print and the lamp (of course you know that). Maybe when Im in SC I can check out a WOW store, I know I searched out a Kirklands in Myrtle Beach. lol Great job...tell FIL job well done.
OMG, I am giddy looking at this stuff, heeheheee. Another Rooster, woohooooo! I do like your shelf, it looks great with the blue:) Great job fil!
Love the room, sure, but LOVE the remodel on the blog! It looks fabulous!
Love this room.
Are you going to join "show us your roosters" on Friday? You can find out about it by clicking the button at the top of my sidebar.
First of all I have to say I love the new blog design! Your kitchen and dining room are amazing...I would love to have that view, too! Every time I see a rooster I think of you and what color would you paint it. Love the before and after!
How awesome is that! It was so nice of your father in law to make the shelf for you. Your breakfast room looks great with all your changes & I love your new rooster addition!
Oh, I almost forgot ... I love your new header & background! ;)
It's beautiful Debbie, and looks like a picture in the Home magazine.
I love your new header it is really beautiful. The red kitchen scale is very nice--I now need one of those... I also really like the high shelf with the pottery vase and goblets.
I so love it! It's beautiful. I am soooo ready for fall. I opened a cabinet the other day and there was some of my fall stuff, tempting for sure. I will probably put my fall decor out the first of September.

Looks fantastic! That pottery and shelf balance that side out so nicely with the plates on the other. Very nice!
What a beautiful shelf! That was great of him to make it for you.
I'm loving your new Country French look!
Love all the changes! It looked great before but it's always fun to tweak it a little. I've taken down the wallwords before with no problems as well.
Pretty - really like the pottery! I also like your new header.

Oh my Debbie... what a gorgeous blog... Love the pottery... the Rooster pic soooo soooo gorgeous... Thanks for linking to Colours Dekor...

I think you need to charm your FIL into making you a matching shelf for the other side of the window- it would look fantastic!! I LOVE your new rooster pic. See, you're well on your way for the rooster party this week. I'll look for you on Friday for that
