My Sunny Simple Sunday Farmgirl Kitchenette Redo....


Hello, Hello.
I have been a Busy Bee this weekend. A little over a year ago I found this sweet 50's kitchenette set.. the table and two chairs were on sale at the thrift Shop. I had good intentions to paint it and re-cover the chairs...but just wasn't happening. And, since I am in the midst of packing up boxes for our move.
 ( Still don't know where yet)
I needed a creative outlet since I won't be focusing on decorating here in this home. I still have more painting with a few other pieces...that will come soon. For now, I wanted to share what I accomplished. For our love of color and Vintage Farmgirl Kitschy Style...I went bold. Here is my rendition of Farmgirl Kitsch.  
My neighbor was having a garage sale a couple weekends ago and I spotted a little 50's chair that would go perfect with the other two chairs that came with my table. My sweet neighbor & I made a trade...I gave her 5 lbs. of apricots for the chair...Sounded like a great deal to me. I painted it Robins Egg Blue. And left the other two the white finish I got them in. I then got out my bucket full of scrappy goodness fabrics and pulled together scrappy quilted covers...I finished two...Just one more to go.
 I love, love, love the colors and fabrics together.
 ( Happy Dance)

  
My white table...became a Sunny Yellow...Oh how I am loving it. I added another wooden chair to the mix...When I use the leaf I have yet another little wooden chair and a small bench,
which will then seat 6 around this little table. 
I even set the table just for you.
I made four cute little napkin rings to match my fabrics.
Come back Monday to see a tutorial I put together on how to make them.   
This just makes me smile.
Next on my list of things to do is...
My kitchen hutch...
My glass doored book case for my living room...
 Freckles dresser...
Yet, another dresser and a bookshelf.
Then I will do my outdoor patio furniture....
Perhaps when we're moved.


Hope you liked my Kitchenette redo. Thanks for dropping in.
 Hope you have a lovely Simple Sunday...
A Sunny one at that.

Sunny Simple Sunday Bargain...


Happy Sunday Y'all. Today I am linking up with my bloggy pal
 Elaine from Sunny Simple Life on her Sunny Simple Sunday Series.
 So glad you could pop by to visit me. I wanted to share with you a fun Thrifty Vintage Bargain I got last month. This sweet child's desk.... I had to bring it home. I knew just what I would use it for. I have been looking for a new side table since I had given our son our other one for his room.
 It was a perfect fit. So cute, so me. What a great find.
 
Perfect for putting all my magazines and books I am reading inside the cubby. I set my lamp right on top with some things that simply make me smile. The cute print here is a sweet reminder to start the morning with God...I found mine here at In His Grace. The cute little polka dtted colorful tray was from Walmart $1 bins...really...I know. The Big polka dot clothespin holding my kids picture was from the Michaels $1 bin. Too cute.
 
My sweet funky reader glasses are from The Dollar Tree.
 I couldn't pass those up. And my new issue of Vintage Style. It's a good one.
 
Sometimes I just can't pass up a good bargain.
 Hope you enjoyed your visit.
Perhaps got a little inspiration.
Leave me a comment and I will come visit you.
 Happy Sunny Sunday to you.
