| I found little St. Patrick's Day pots at the dollar store. I put in lottery scratch off tickets and a lucky penny to scratch them. |
 |
| I tied them off with a cello bag and green ribbon. |
 |
| For my younger two grand girls. I gave them some money and lucky charm items and some chocolate coins and candy. |
 |
| I gave each of them Green River. Tradition here in Chicago is to dye the river green for St. Patrick's Day. So this old fashion soda was a cute idea to add. |
 |
| Easy peasy little St. Patrick's Day gift. |
 |
| This is where the cabinet was over my sink. I really needed better lighting in my kitchen especially over my sink. I had this great chandelier and it's larger mate. |
 |
| I hung a nice chandelier over the sink and put a chippy framed mirror behind it to reflect light. |
 |
| I hung her sister chandelier above in the ceiling of the kitchen. |
 |
| Next will be hanging white crown molding around the kitchen. I think it will finish the kitchen off nicely. Hope all is going well for you. Have a great week. Hugs, Kris |

ReplyDeleteKris, that looks really good. I love the idea of the mirror behind, nit inly to reflect light, but si you can have eyes in the back of your head!

Oh my I love all your St. Patty day ideas. Green River soda is so appropriate as I live in a nearby suburb of Chicago and worked for many a year in the city and would see the rivery turn green for the big day. Going to see if I can find those little pots at my Dollar Tree and make them for my kiddos along with the soda. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKris,good morning! WOW! That is a great idea and how lucky that Terry is always willing to take on a challenge! That is such a great solution, as always!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Kris! That is beautiful! I absolutely love the chandelier over the sink - the bigger one is fabulous too. Wow! Very, very nice. The crown molding will give it the perfect finish too.
ReplyDeleteCute St. Patrick’s Day idea. Hope you’re getting some sunny days!
Hugs, Cecilia
Your kitchen is stunning! I had to pin a shot to my Kitchens board. Cute St. Patrick's Day gifts!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well. We have been having crazy weather. xoxo
I love the new additions…they make the kitchen so you! Especially the chandys. Love it all…Margy in KY
ReplyDeleteYou made the cutest St. Patrick's Day gifts Kris. I love both of your chandeliers and it adds some nice bling to your kitchen! I hope you have a nice week Kris.
ReplyDeleteVery cute little St Patrick’s gift, you are always so creative. The chandys and the mirror look fabulous. A lovely way to bring in glam and light. Crown molding will be the finishing touch. Happy Ash Wednesday. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, your kitchen is fabulous! What a lovely idea to hang a chandelier over the sink. I love it. Love, Dottie
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! It is lovely, I love, love the sparkle!!!
ReplyDeleteI also like the St.Patrick Day gifts, very fun. :-)
Love, Carla
I did not see that coming! How clever and unique to hang a mini chandelier and mirror above the sink in a kitchen. It's gorgeous, Kris! Great idea for St Patty's day gifts too btw.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute St. Patty's day ideas! You always come up with the darlingest (a word?) things! Oh.. the Green Rivers! I haven'et seen those for years and years. When I was a child growing up in Portland, OR, we would go to the corner "drug store" as they were called.. and have a green river, right from the fountain. I LOVED those! After I grew up, I never heard of them again. Now and then, if I was travelling, I would see some in some small minit mart and would buy some. What memories! And your kitchen nook above your sink looks darling. Love the chandy and makes me want one too! It sure does sparkle up your kitchen! Hugs.. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteWhat cute gifts for St. Patty's day. Hope that you and Terry are doing well dear Kris. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWhat darling and creative gift ideas you thought of for your granddaughters! And pretty chandeliers in your kitchen. Good idea to hang a mirror there to reflect light since you don't have a window over the sink. You and Terry would have a ball in my house...there's SOOO much that needs to be done and neither one of us are handy!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet, sweet St. Paddy day gifts. Did you know I had an Uncle Paddy? Patrick was his middle name so father always called him Paddy. Love the Irish area I grew up in. I might kinda still believe in leprechauns. lol
ReplyDeleteThat turned out fantastic over your sink. I love it-and what a great idea that was -with your inspiration and Terry's abilities you are a perfect match.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend---xo Diana
Oh my goodness, I just love the chandelier and mirror in the sink area! It really opens up that sink area, and makes it just sparkle! I think crown molding will really set off your lovely kitchen! Fun St. Patrick's Day gifts! My daughter was born on St. Patrick's Day! Although we are not Irish, I do enjoy the corned brisket and cabbage meal so very much! Have a blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Kris you OUTDID yourself with your kitchen sink area - it is absolutely stunning and absolutely your style. Beautiful! I may have to copy your cute St. Pat's idea, it's so cute.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your chandeliers Kris. Such a clever idea using the mirror to reflect the light even more. Gilly
ReplyDeleteThe St. Patty's gifts are such a great idea! I'm sure they will be appreciated. The mirror and chandelier look lovely over your sink!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love the St. Patrick's day gift ideas. :D
ReplyDeleteI also like the mirror and chandy over your sink. They really brighten-up that corner of your kitchen! Your crown molding looks great, too (I read the newer post first, LOL.)
So elegant, Kris. I love the mirror behind it, and the way you've finished the wall. The crown molding will look great. I like your St. Paddy's Day gifts. Very sweet. Hugs.
