I Got Bored, So I Switched Up The Kitchen A Little

If your kitchen is like mine, it is the center of action all the time.  We are either cooking, snacking or eating a full meal.  Seems like something is always happening in the kitchen.   This is the room that gets a real workout.  I got bored so I switched up the kitchen a little.  I wanted something different to look at for a while.  Swapping out accessories is always fun.

To me easy summer kitchen decor means stripped down a little – not so fussy, more of a minimalist.  Saying minimalist almost made me laugh.  I am not really a total minimalist as you can readily see.  I do like some decor, to me minimal means not necessarily bare-bones, just less than normal.  Anyway — – this is what I came up with and it felt good to have the kitchen clean and switched up a little.

Keeping the back wall simple with minimal decor was my goal.  On the island, my pig came out to play.  I just love this funny yellow pig with his snooty turned-up nose.

Just for fun and to keep the island simple.  I added my faux cheese board next to the pig.

I switched up the breakfast table setting a bit.  I love yellow flowers, my favorites, so this bouquet had to be the centerpiece.  When I started to put out the napkins, I didn’t have 6 of either pattern.  I love to mix and match, so I used the yellow windowpane on the sides and the yellow floral for the captain’s setting.  I could have used 3 of each and alternated them too.  I love to mix and match so two patterns are always fun to me.

A big bunch of wheat seemed like it belonged with the yellow flowers.

My table is a stunning piece and I am asked about it all the time.  The twisted trestle legs are gorgeous.  I really love this piece and it has a secret.  The top folds over and it can also become just a narrow console type table.  I did a post about it a few years ago, you can see that post here.

Love the pretty yellow decor in the kitchen and breakfast area, it goes well with the adjoining family room too.
