This is a hallway that is kind of in the kitchen.
I put a white table here and a mirror window.

It is a good place to keep a lot of my floral china vases and platters.
I was busy working on the kitchen cabinets so this space escaped my attention.
A lot of bloggers commented on my pink bowl.
It is one of my favorites and I guess you could say the bowl inspired what came next.
I added a clock at the top and oval floral platters around the mirror.
The lampshades got switched out to pink toile.
I found these in the baby department at Home Goods a few years ago.
I keep a lot of different lampshades in my workroom so I can
change the mood of my sconces or chandeliers.

The clock was originally black and that got a pink paint and dark wax finish.
But not before the clock was painted with Louis blue chalk.
However, the clock said "paint me pink".
And the clock was right~pink was the correct color.
Some other smalls went on the "window shelf".
A lettuce leaf head sits in a pink depression cup next to chintzware and transferware.
The hammer and nails have been put away~for now.
I love the your items talk to you as well "paint me pink". becuase I have pretty good conversations with the pieces in my house....love what you did with the table area and it is very cozy and pretty. May I ask where you found the toile lampshades?

The pink is definitely a good fit for that area. Very sweet.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful it looks! Yes, I do declare, pink was the right color for the clock!

It looks really fresh, Amy! Love the toile lampshades. I also love how you brought the pink in the bowl up through levels so your eye takes in the whole arrangement. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThe pink toile lampshades can be found in the children's decorating section of Home Goods. I often look there to find things in pink and baby blue.
ReplyDeletelooks so bright and cheery! yes, I like the bowl!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Amy. Those lamps are FABULOUS.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Brings the pink right up to the top! Great job.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty pinks Amy~ the pink platter is gorgeous and love your pink toile lampshades. Love all your sweet little details! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great , You did good !
ReplyDeleteThe addition of the plates to the wall really finishes it off. I love the pink toile shades. Love that you found them in the baby department. They really look perfect with the new vignette. I love that plate holder sitting on the sideboard too. I've been looking for something like that. I need some sort of tiered plate thingy by XMas.
ReplyDeleteLove it all. Such a beautiful table and the mirror is fabulous. I love the addition of the clock and the platters and the shades are perfect. Gorgeous vignette and display. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSo charming! It matches the rest of your kitchen. Light, bright, fresh and feminine!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how the plates move the eye up and add so much to the wall! Love it, and Love those little pink lampshades too, they're perfect.

I love it! But I loved it in its "before" look too! I'm more of a simple things/less person. Still, I wouldn't change a single thing. I too like pink :)
ReplyDeleteMixing Consoles.. Wow , Nice Pics...
