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.

    The yellow pansies add just the perfect pop of extra color! And, it goes so very well with the blue/white! What a cheery vignette to wash dishes by! Blessings, Cindy

    Bonjour chère amie,

    Alors maintenant plus d'excuse pour dire que vous n'aimez pas faire la vaisselle !!... C'est un véritable régal pour les yeux !
    J'aime ces petites touches de jaunes lumineux et ce bleu de vos tasses... le soleil et le ciel bleu qui vous attrapent le regard.
    Les coqs blancs ne s'y trompent, ils sont là aussi pour en profiter !...
    Il est bien d'acheter des fleurs en godet de tourbe plutôt que ceux qui sont en plastique. C'est bien pour la planète...

    Très jolie publication accompagnée de belles photos.

    ❁ ♡ Gros bisous ♡ ❁

    Un grand merci pour votre gentil petit mot...

    This is so cute! Love the pansies in the blue willow cups and those pedestals. That extra deep window area makes for a great place to stage things. Love the white roosters- I just set up a vignette with a white rooster too!

    Poppy, your yellow and blue touches certainly make a happy statement. I love the idea of using cups and saucers as planters. Elevating them on the wooden pedestals is a great idea.
    Happy Summer, my friend!

    Hi Poppy,
    You have created a wonderful vignette using your teacups, rooster and chicken, and pansies. Looks very summery and oh so whimsical too. Blue and yellow always look fabulous together. Thanks for sharing and the inspiration. Have a lovely day and thank you for joining me for tea.
