Kitchen Cheer

I've been itching to do red & kelly-lime-ish green for a while now and decided this was the year. Seeing that our daughter is two, I thought she'd really enjoy the fun colors, which she definitely has!

Here's the kitchen table...


One of my favorite things I put together this year...it just makes me happy to look at it! Uh...ignore any duct tape you may see holding the green ribbon on. I was improvising!


I cannot remember where I saw this, but [at least] one creative blogger wrote about using epsom salts for some twinkle-like "snow" filler in candle holders. I LOVE this...as does my Mom!


I have some blank canvases lying around that I picked up at the Christmas Tree Shoppe and just covered it with some paper I had lying around. I bought the ribbon at WalMart for about $3 and stuck a little do-dad in there for a little more interest.


The jar on the top shelf has green snowflakes...not sure if you can tell!




My Grandmother was getting rid of the white plates on the shelf (I've got a TON more), so I stuck a few up there for interest. My Mom is using her Cricut to cut red vinyl letters to spell out "PEACE" that I'll stick on the plates.

Dollar store ornaments and box from the $1 section at Target (LOVE that section!).
