~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

Hi friends!

Well, I think I'm the only one doing WWW but that's okay summer is a busy time for all of us:) I'm posting this at 4:25 PM so that's how occupied with finally decorating I am:)

My punched tin light came in yesterday and I just love it, it's the willow design! I've always wanted one so to say I'm thrilled is so true!

Here's my kitchen window of course the flash made the trim look alot brighter then it is...we took down the wood valance that was there and that really opened up the area so well. Here is without the flash... probably what it will look like at night...did I say I love it:)

This stencil painted can I got at a yard sale Saturday really came in handy for when I received my porch swap package from Christine at Stitches and Boards one of the neat things in the box was these three, prim flags, Christine is quite the sewer everything she sent was handmade by her, thanks Christine I just love everything! Christine is having puter trouble right now so I hope she will be back to blogging soon. I'll be showing the prims she sent in photos in stead of all grouped together over my next couple posts:) Don't the flags look just great in the stenciled can? Looks like it they came together doesn't it? Have this sitting on the right side of my sink so that I can look at them often. The glass jars beside the flags, I got two of the back ones from GW for .79 a piece and the one to the right and up front was a Yankee Candle jar and I painted the lid black:0 The beans in the first jar were in a bottle from GW for .50...I'm even getting beans from GW. LOL I have my blue eggs that I bought at the Rusty Tin with the prairie grass in the second jar:)


Now my keeping room is right off the kitchen with a breakfast bar separating it...I'm just loving the blue, I finally feel like this house is coming together why?...because I made up my mind to embrace the blue of my couch, I read that on another blog but can't remember where.:)
I put the crock bench in front of the window instead of the sewing maching cabinet and it looks so much better.

Here is my corner cabinet and do you see on the second shelf the rabbit holding the flag? Christine also made me that and I'm loving it!

The wood table that I had in the middle of the room I put next to my hoosier and took the bowls out of the drysink and put them here...the container they are in is a heavy metal thing with compartments I found it at the Meadows Antique Fair a few years ago for $5.00 already painted a dark red:)



I put this blue cupboard above the table with the bowls and also the Noah's Ark sampler I did. The wood candle on top of the cupboard was painted a barn red then I painted it black but decided that it would look better with some butter pecan paint instead.






Here are the pin keeps I've been collecting the one in the very front is also from Christine. It's a bird nestled in a ball jar lid with a garland of jingle bells entwined around it...I just love it:)






This is what I've been doing for WWW and I'm enjoying it finally, next though is the diningroom and livingroom to paint and then I'll be able to move my stepback cupboard in finally:)
Have a great evening, the sun hasn't been out once today here!!!

    Oh I loved this post today! It was just pure prim Americana eye candy for me! I love seeing all the flags! Where to start? I love your new light first of all! Love the valance too....the bench in front of your window is perfect there! Glad it's all coming together for you....and looking great too!

    I'm looking for an Abe Lincoln and George Washington pic. I noticed you had a Lincoln one. Do you mind telling me where you found yours?

    Thanks again for sharing! I loved seeing what you've been up to!

  25. It is really coming together nicely. Doesn't it seem like the more you do, the more energy and excitement you have to do more? I have the same light! Except instead of the willow design, I have the star in a circle.

  30. Love your new light! But there is one problem...it would look much better over my kitchen sink. LOL Someday...

    Your room looks so nice! I can't wait to see the blue cupboard in it's official home soon. I finished up with my blue items before I left for work. So will have to share when they get dry. :)
