Thank you all so much for your sweet comments on my last post...I didn't know there were so many "RED" lovers out there! I've been doing a little tweaking since my last post. I added the candle holders, sugar bowl and place mats.
I'm pleased with it...I did some shopping in my own home to find these items which was even better! I love moving things around as I know many of you do, too.
I decided to paint the frame of my Susan Branch print...the frame was oak and I painted it RED.
This apron was the inspiration for my next phase of tweaking...
I took the colors from this apron and tried to incorporate them into what I displayed on my Amish made hutch...I still think it needs some tweaking...again, I used things in my home that I had stored away or were used elsewhere.
This is something new I put together...I found the cheese dome awhile ago, but didn't put it with a plate, until I was looking through several that had I stored away...I love the red and the delicate flowers.
My dear friend, Josie gave me several old cookie cutters for Christmas. I bought this jar and added them, along with others that I had.
The green platter belonged to my dear Gram...she used the green and white dishes at Christmas. The orange juicer is old, too...it belonged to my Gram also.
Thanks for stopping by to look at my "Tweaking"...I appreciate your visits and kind comments as always. I also can't even begin to express how thankful I am for all of your prayers for our trip to Florida.

ReplyDeleteI love the red! It's beautiful. Red is one of those colors that keeps finding it's way into my decor, too and I didn't even like it before!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!

Things just get keep getting prettier and prettier! I love everything you've done. Your layout is very pretty, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat tweaking!! I think my favorite is the jar of old cookie cutters. I saw an old cheese grater displayed similarly...with a ribbon and a cinnamon stick tied on the side - so simple but sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures.
Wow. Love the tweaking, it has a valentine theme with all the red. It's very pretty and I truly enjoy all of the lovely pictures ALL of the time.
ReplyDeleteHave a great and blessed day,
Sabre
I LOVE the tweaking - and isn't it fun to "shop" in your own home!? And for you to take the colors of the apron was genius. They coordinate so well. I am on the lookout for those cute cookies cutters as well. I like how you displayed them. And to have the items from your grandmother is sooooo heartwarming!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog - Love you too! :-)
That amish hut is so beautiful and I love all the things you have put in it! Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteYour table and hutch are so pretty! I also love the cookie cutters inside of your jar. What a great idea!
I hope you have a nice weekend.

ReplyDeleteCount me in as another red lover! I prefer shades of cranberry! Hence the name! But I also love to eat dried cranberries, and add them to my cereal, bake them in breads & muffins, etc.
I really love to see and her about your old Family items. I am very partial to old cookie cutters too and have several.
Anyway, have a great week. Hopefully I will be caught up by the end of this week. :D

Hi Kim~
ReplyDeleteYou've been a busy girl! Red is a very happy color isn't it. The sugar bowl on the table reminds me of my grandmother's house. It's a great sign of welcome. Come sit and have coffee...like you are always ready for a friend. So nice!
