Quickie in the kitchen! {Country french}..NEWBIE party started!
First, many thanks for your engaging in my thought provoking question! Always nice to hear other's opinions and thoughts!
Now onto my quickie...
I found a picture in my archives from long long ago.
This is how my kitchen first looked when blogging...
bad camera as you can see.
See the spoon and fork there on the wall?
Well, they needed a lift.
The new color I chose for the makeover was Annie Sloans Chalk paint, in Old white.
I painted, distressed them and hung them in a new place.
Here is a current snap of today's look in the kitchen...
These shots are just neat because of the shadows and the crows...

I love the changes you have made in your kitchen! French Country is one of my faves! The flatware pieces look great painted and distressed! Paint is a wonderful product! Great job!
Love those painted. Cute pics or should I say creepy?
they look great in the new color and hanging in the new spot. very pretty
Excellent photos Debbie! My son and his girlfriend are home this weekend from Charleston. She is currently enrolled in college for photography. She came with her camera in hand because she has to get a shadow photo showing the light and darkness for her homework. I just showed her your picture and she said, "Awesome! That is just what I need." They really are great shots!
French country is so lovely. My other house I decorated in that style. Looks like you had fun re-decorating.
I love the picture over the doggie bowl, so creative! And of course the rest of your kitchen is so pretty :)

I love your kitchen wonderful light and the crows are neat. Thanks for sharing.
Very pretty kitchen! The fork and spoon look awesome with the chalk paint and distressing!! That was a great idea! I agree, the shadowin in that photo is just gorgeous! Isn't it fun to look back at old photos and see how much things have changed??
You *funny* girl! I remember your cool fork and spoon from RMS! LOVE what you did to them ... the painted and distressed look totally makes the country french! Cool shadow pic, too!
The new distressed look is awesome. Your kitchen looks beautiful.
Debbie, I love the makeover of the fork and spoon. They also look great in the new location. Fun!
Love the new look! I have kicked myself for months because I found similar spoon/fork at my Goodwill for $1.50 each. I went back several times debating on them and third time was going to buy them and they were gone. :( Lesson learned! Again! Thanks for stopping in to say "hi". Life has been crazy here since school started back and I have had NO time to blog. Can't wait to get back to it when things slow down. As always, your room is GORGEOUS!! :)
Love this look! Your dining room is so warm and inviting!
I love the new look in your kitchen. The fork/spoon look great painted and distressed.

Veronica
I love what you did with the spoon and fork. They look fantastic, and I also like the color of your kitchen.
Great changes to your kitchen. Love the spoon/fork lighten up. Thanks for hosting.
great quickie! & thanks for hosting :)
As much as I love thrifting, sometimes I walk right past things that I later realize could have been something AWESOME! Last week, I walk past a large fork and spoon just like yours but hardly has lovely! I hate that I didn't buy it and turned it into something as cute as yours! ~sigh~
Thanks for hosting! The fork and spoon look great! I love the way you hung them :)
No 53 & No 68 are the same. My fault! Old age I guess!! Love the Monday Newbie party!
Gorgeous kitchen!!! Not only is your paint treatment wonderful, but just hanging them crossed is much more interesting! Can't let my "boys" see the artwork you have over the dog dishes or they'll be wanting some, too! :)
I love your new look for those utensils. I have some that have been sitting in my garage for about a year untouched LOL
I enjoy seeing the transformation your dining room has made.
Love what a little paint can do!
I stumbled this!
Your kitchen is fantabulous and I am in love with the spoon and fork. Thanks for yet another fab party!
Paula
Love the transformation. I love the distressed look and I love the way you displayed them. Oh, and by the way, thank you so much for your work in hosting the newbie party. I just started my blog and am looking forward to meeting new people who enjoy doing the same things I do. Thanks again,

Hi girl, I love the new look of the spoon and fork. I especially love the shot with sun and shadow. Love you girl. Ginger
Just found your blog....love the kitchen and redo on the fork/knife, especially the way you displayed them.
Thanks so much for hosting this party!
Debbie,
Oh how I love the oversized fork and spoon on your kitchen walls! Someday maybe I'll find something like that!
And I have to go check out the birthday cake with the elephant on top in #114 (I think) I'm an elephant fanatic and that looks too fun!!!
I've posted about my bright blue paint makeover for my "tween" bedroom chest that I've now moved into our dining room. It's amazing how paint and color can change a piece of furniture!
As always Debbie, thanks for hosting a great link up party.
