Decorating the Kitchen Window Sill

Hello, everyone!
Summer is officially here, and I am looking forward to all the fun summer activities and adding summery touches throughout my home.
I love adding seasonal changes to the kitchen window sill to liven up my kitchen.
There are two big casement style windows in my kitchen that allows plenty of natural light into the room.



One of the windows is right above the kitchen sink with a wide sill that provides plenty of space for me to decorate, create vignettes, and brighten up my day while doing the mundane task of washing dishes.




Pretty yellow pansies in blue willow tea cups make a beautiful display.



I placed the tea cups on these pillar pedestals to add height to the vignette. 
Click HERE for the tutorial to make these functional wooden pedestals.



Love the contrast in color between the blue willow of the transferware tea cups and pretty yellow pansies.


On my last trip to Home Goods, I was happy to find this over-sized galvanized bucket. 


Love the rope handle detail and how the fern looks inside the bucket.


A pair of hen and rooster is perfect for a summer kitchen vignette.


I placed the pansies in peat pots for easy watering. 


The peat pots were then placed inside the cup.


The blue willow tea cup makes a pretty vase, don't you think?

I hope you liked taking a peek at my kitchen window sill all decorated for the summer.

Blue Willow Tablescape


Blue and White Tablescape
I love decorating my home in classic blue and white! This color combination always look elegant yet soft and casual in any kind of decor. So today, I am sharing my blue willow tablescape set up for a simple setting for two:

I have lost track of how many snow snowstorms we've had this winter, and currently we are right in the middle of another one! With snow advisories every so often, bitter cold, and frozen pipes, I am so ready for spring! 

A simple white pitcher filled with greenery not only makes a nice focal point in my blue and white tablesetting, but also a small attempt on my part to add some spring touches....

A simple fabric tag hangs from a black and white check ribbon as an accent

I stamped the rooster on the fabric tag

The white pitcher sits on a stack of small transferware plates

Stacked plates also make pretty risers in any tablescape


My cute Rooster and Hen salt and  pepper shakers
I love these guys! They look adorable in any tablesetting :) 

A grouping of three candlestick holders set the mood for this simple tablesetting for two
I like the crisp and refined look of the tall blue and white candlestick holder 

With white taper candle, it looks so elegant and beautiful in this grouping of three...so timeless! Flanked on either side by two crystal candle holders.

A layering of blue transferware


I love the Blue Willow pattern! Today's place setting is inspired by this pretty pattern. 


On top of the dinner plate is a simple white salad plate that contrasts nicely with the blue cup and saucer. 

I used my Blue Danube print tablecloth as covering for this bistro style table from Ikea. I think I've had this tablecloth since we bought our first dining room furniture :)


The pretty blue stems are from Pfaltzgraff, purchased many years back from one of their factory outlet stores.

Crystals that sparkle like jewels in light

A tribute to a blue and white tablescape
There is a full blown winter storm going on outside as I am taking these pictures, and it still continues! You can see through the windows the amount of snow piled up outside.


Thanks for your visit! It is always a pleasure having you here! I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my blue and white tablescape. 
Stay warm and safe!
Have a lovely week ahead!

And my thanks and appreciation to these lovely ladies for showcasing my Column Pedestals at their weekly parties! Stop by and say hello if you get a chance or join their inspiring parties and share your creativity!
