Tweaking the Kitchen Nook

Good Afternoon my friends! I have not updated my blog in a while. I have had plenty to blog about but no energy to post. I continue to struggle with my health issues. I am looking forward to a better year. I look forward to a year of tweaking and creating and making my home into a warm and inviting place to be. I hope you enjoy the photos of my kitchen nook. Kitchen Table I needed a change in my kitchen. I had the red gingham curtains in there for two years that we have lived here. I decided to utilize some things I had on hand to make a mini redo in my kitchen nook. I bought the black and white waverly table cloth at TJ Maxx several months ago. I had the lace table topper for many years. It was most likely a yard sale find. The white rooster butter dish and gravy boat was on clearance at Sears. I had the black bowl and decided to place a red candle. Instead of so much red in the kitchen, I thought just little pops with the black and white would be nice.

Please don't laugh or think I am cheap, I am just thrifty. I made these curtains from two twin size Dan River Bed Sheets. They are of very high quality. I lined them with another set of bed sheets that were not as high of quality. Both the Dan Rivers sheets and the other set of sheets were brand new in their packages. I found both sets of sheets at a yard sale for 50 cents. The trim I found also at a yard sale for 50 cents. I made these over Christmas Holidays. I took that whole week off, so I got a lot of sewing done that week. We did not have any guest for the Christmas Holiday.
