Hello friends! So Christmas kind of happened and my blog fell off my radar, but I am back with a new post inspired by one of the most used rooms in our home and some post-holiday clearance finds! Lately it’s been making me crazy that our kitchen is still a blank canvas. Since we use it 24-7, I am determined to give it some much needed aesthetic attention in 2011.
So what brought this on? When I was supposed to be shopping for groceries today, I wandered into TJ Maxx instead and found this great “sconce” candle holder thing in the clearance section for $8:
You probably can't tell, but it's almost like a shadowbox (and I photographed it upside-down oops). I’m planning on mounting this over the sink, and getting some “S” hooks and hanging utensils and other much-needed organizational stuff from it, like this thing:
Here are some other cheap home accents that I have flagged for my 2011 kitchen project:
|
I am in love with mustard yellow and anything beaded so naturally I need these curtains. |
|
This rug is a STEAL at $34...so much style for such a small price tag. I would put it under the dark stained, wooden cafe table that we currently have in our kitchen. |
|
This vivid runner is perfect for in front of the sink. |
|
Keeping with the color palate of the floral rug, this one is great for in front of the fridge! |
|
Ignore the eastern accessories and this mirror would work perfectly over our cafe table. |

One of my Christmas presents was a microwave, so now I need something to put it on, like this multi-functional hutch. |
