Spring is Popping in My Kitchen!

Hey everyone!  Wow, is this month flying by or what!  I truly hope that means better weather for all those who have been deluged with cold, rain and snow.  Y'all don't even want to know about our 80 degree weather, but I know I"ll be getting my "whine" on about the heat in just a short amount of time.   I almost didn't post this week, because we are working on a fairly big project around here; but I really wanted to share some Spring & Easter vignettes that I'm enjoying in my kitchen.  So here goes!

The island is the first thing you see when you enter our kitchen, so I really like having something special in the center.  It is a working island, in use for almost every meal and everything in between, so keeping my vignettes contained on a tray is what works best.

"Hey, Mr. Bunny, you are so cute!"

Cup of tea, anyone?

Simple is what I wanted for my breakfast table.

A bit of Easter-fun on the kitchen buffet!

I played around with this tiered wire basket for awhile before I settled on this little

collection of things.  Very simple, and I like it!

I like my old tool caddy layered in front of this colorful tray.  This is in my baking-mixing area, so the white pitcher with wooden spoons and spatulas is very handy.  

This area is where I do a lot of food prep for things that will be getting cooked on the stovetop.  Another white pitcher holds all the teflon utensils that I use with my Bobby Flay cookware.

I like having butter, EVOO, salts & pepper right here within easy reach.  All of my other herbs and seasonings are in the cabinet above and the drawer to the right.  If you want to see how I organized this area, you can go HERE.

Well, I'm off to help The Man on our current DIY -- cannot wait to share that one!  Hope y'all have a really terrific week, and please know you are always welcome here!
