| I found some of my old platters and plates yesterday and decided to hang a couple on the wall in the new dining area. |
 |
| I thought they might look nice around the old barn door. I also hung one of my farmhouse aprons next to the barn door. |
 |
| Had an old bakery sign so hung that above the entry way from the kitchen to the dining room. |
 |
| Next thing on the list was to make the plain lampshade on my floor lamp into something a little more pretty and interesting so I added some fabric roses and buttons to the lamp shade. |
 |
| I think it just needed a little embellishing of adornments. Thanks for coming by. We are suppose to get 5 to 6 inches of snow here in Chicago so I am staying in and finding little projects to do around my house. Hope you are having a great week.

Anne,
DeleteI hope you start to feel better. Migraines are the worse. Hard to function when you have one of those. I am bracing for this snow. Ughhhhh I want summer.
Kris
It all looks so lovely. I love the sweet, white washed homey look to it all. We have the same storm coming here tonight- I am north of you about 4 hours- UGH- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Diana,
DeleteI wish this storm would miss us but probably not. I so want winter to be over.
Kris
Looks beautiful, as always, Kris. We just had that storm here in Colorado, so fun! Stay warm.....

Hi Kris, what a great idea to create plate wall art, it looks divine at your dining area. I love how you combined the old barn door, plates and apron. Greetings from Renata from www.crafto-mania.com.

ReplyDeleteThank you Sandy so much. It was pretty easy and now I feel like it went from blah to something pretty. Have a great week.
DeleteKris
I love your white plates on the wall, Kris! I've been looking for some plain white old dishes, myself, but they are hard to find these days. Your lampshade looks ready for spring with its new lace flowers! I hope you don't get as much snow as predicted, but spring IS right around the corner, right?
ReplyDeleteI hope Spring is around the corner. I am so ready!!!!
DeleteKris
You continue to add so much charm to your home! LOVE the chippy barn door with the pretty white plates around it. And what an adorable lamp shade! I kinda wish we were getting some of that snow. We've had very little this year...like almost none!

ReplyDeleteI'll take your snow over the freezing rain that we are getting right now. We are suppose to have it until noon tomorrow.

I'm lovin' what you've done with your floor lamp. I have one in the corner of my sewing room that I'm inspired to give a 'face-lift' and will be using your lamp as inspiration. Love your blog, you are constantly finding new ways to use beautiful vintage furnishings and accessories from the past. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, do I ever love this space! The lampshade is fab (I just redid one myself recently), and I am drooling over the bakery sign! Hope you can stop by the enchanted oven to say hi.
ReplyDeletexo,

Kris, your house looks so big and beautiful. I love all your touches, and adding things to the barn door is a really nice touch. I like the metal, the dishes and the wood altogether with the fabric of the apron right along side.
ReplyDeleteLiz @ Quirky Vistas
This looks so pretty! I love the white dishes and the old door, along with the apron and your bakery sign - such a cute wall arrangement! Your little lampshade is really sweet too! You always do the neatest projects - I want to come play! LOL! Stay warm and away from the snow! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found your blog - please consider turning your home into a bed & breakfast! It would be the perfect vintage lover's sanctuary! Truly lovely. -- Jan
ReplyDeleteYour look is just so pretty and peaceful! I am south of Chicago about 4 hours and it is snowy and icy here, too. Stay Warm, Jean
ReplyDeleteKris, the plates look perfect there! I always drool over that barn door...maybe I'll find one like it someday...sigh :)

You know- I was over at Pam's today. I can't find a link to your blog over there -just thought you might want to know. One of these days I would like to "talk" to you. We are getting ready to downsize and give up our big home and I am really kind of nervous about it. I live about 4 hours North of you and on the water also. I LOVE what you have done- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOh Kris I just love all your touches especially your Bakery sign! Thanx for sharing at THT.
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm your newest follower as I love all your lovely touches! The barn door is perfect for a background to showcase your ironstone. And then I read the last paragraph... snow in Chicago! WE're neighbors as I am in the area, also! Love finding locals through the blogging world. Do drop by my blog as I would love to have you over for a visit! Hope to see you soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Kris, Just found your lovely blog from Timewashed and am now a follower! Love the white plates around the barndoor! xo Pam
ReplyDeleteSo darling! Love that barn wood with the plates!
ReplyDeleteI just love your place, everything you put together just turns out perfect. Thanks for sharing at the Cabin!
ReplyDeleteLove the barn wood and the plates on the wall.
ReplyDeleteThat little wire basket on the barn wood door looks cool too. I've been seeing lots of wire baskets lately...and have pinned some too.
love all of it. Stay warm in Chicago! Pat
Such a pretty vignette, Kris! Love your cute lampshade too!
ReplyDeleteJeanette
I just adore your wall gallery, and that floor lamp is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove your wall plates and the bakery sign. Everything looks so bright and cheerful despite the snow outside. Are you going to the Illinois bloggers get-together that Jennifer Rizzo is coordinating? By the way, congrats on being featured on her blog today!
ReplyDeleteI love the collection around the door,,,do you use plate hangers? It's hard to tell.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteI actually epoxy glued the picture hangers to the back of the plates so they could be hung like a picture with a nail in the wall. I tried super glue and it would not hold to the ceramic plates so I got epoxy and that worked great. Hope that helps. Thanks so much for coming by.
