Working on Spring Around the House

I've stopped working on the Master Bedroom 

for now so that I can make 

some Spring Changes around the house.  

I have some things being delivered 

for the bedroom today and tomorrow.  

So Excited!  

So, I have to wait 

to make sure that everything 

is flowing together the way that I want it to.  

Did anyone purchase 

one of these great milk buckets from Decor Steals?

It came a few weeks ago 

and I kept dreaming of filling it 

with Hydrangeas from my garden.  

It is really unique 

and has a good weight to it.  

I love the rivets on the side.  

I wish they would stop sending me emails 

and forcing me to buy their stuff!  

The inside is all rusty 

and there are a few holes in the bottom.  

I couldn't wait to fill it with flowers 

so when I was out the other day 

searching for a bedroom rug, 

I popped over to Michaels 

and bought some fake flowers.  

I'm not usually 

a fake flowers kinda person 

but they have their place.  

They are great for staging 

and they really have 

come a long way in their appearance.  

So right now, 

as I am Springing up the Kitchen and Hearth Room 

they are making me happy!  

I am switching the dishes in the dish cupboard, 

taking all of the red transferware out 

and replacing it with?

And, I'm taking the dishes off of the wall.  

I have a few ideas, 

but I never know until I try a few different things out, 

what will stick.  

As a side note:  

I am also trying out a few Photo tips from Anita 

at Far Above Rubies.  

Thanks Anita!  

I need all the help I can get!  

If you are following me on 

Instagram or Facebook 

you saw my haul from yesterday.  

I wrestled acquired all of these goodies 

at an Estate Sale that I went to before work.  

Most of the pieces were $5.00 

some of the bigger ones were $10.00.   

They are mostly Copral Copper made in Portugal.  

The sweet little kettles are hand crafted Gregorian solid copper made in the USA.  

I am excited to hang them up in my window.  

You can see my copper posts here:   

Cleaning Copper, and Hanging Copper Pots.  

I hope you are enjoying some Spring Weather!  

Have a great day!  

Until Next Time,

Collections: Hanging Copper Pots

Good Morning!  

I hope you have had a beautiful weekend! 

Our weather was awesome!  

I was so thankful because 

Miss Beaux's Sweetheart Dance was last night.  

We were able to take pictures outside!  

I will share one of my favorites at the end of my post.

On Friday I shared my growing 

Copper Collection 

with you.  

I showed you how to Clean Copper the Natural way.  

If you missed that post look HERE.

Now that they are all clean, 

shiny and pretty, 

I need to find a place to display them. 

I don't have a pot rack 

over my Kitchen Island 

so that is not an option.  

I would love that, 

but I sacrificed a pot rack for a crystal chandelier.

I don't have ANY 

wall space in my Kitchen.  

I love the look of the pots all hanging on the wall.  

Isn't that what Julia Child did?

I can guarantee you that I am NO Julia Child!  

But I would die to have her collection of Copper Pots!

Here is a fun Copper Pot display 

that I found on Susan's Blog:  

Between Naps on the Porch.  

Unfortunately I don't even have 

THAT much space 

on the walls of my Kitchen!

I saw these photos on Houzz.  
Isn't this a pretty Kitchen?

I love how they have hung the pots over the stove.  
I was admiring 
the arched vent hood 
and I realized that it looked 
a lot like the arch over my Kitchen window.  

And the wheels started turning.  

Could I hang my pots over the window?  
How would that look?  

 I guess the only way to find out 
was to try it, right?

The funny thing was 
that I already had a curtain rod 
fixture behind the arch in anticipation 
of a Curtain being hung there.  
I really can't remember when or why it was hung.  
But I can tell you 
that said "Curtain" has not appeared.  
It is just one of those projects 
that I haven't gotten around to doing.  

I went in search of a rod and 
found an old one 
in the garage.  
I was pretty sure that I had some 
S hooks around somewhere too.  
I found some but they were too small to fit over the rod.  
But those things never deter me!  
I just keep thinking and digging around 
to find a solution.  
I found some curtain rings in my stash 
and looped them on the rod.  
The I hung the S hooks from the curtain rings. 

That worked!  
I hung them all up 
and stood back 
to to see if I liked it or not.  
I never know!  
I always have an idea in my head 
of how it might look 
but I am never sure until it is done.  

 I love the warmth 
that the copper brings 
into the kitchen!

 What do you think?  
I am excited to add to my collection now!  

 The angle of this picture 
makes the pots look like they are off center.  
I am working on trying to take photos 
and not have the light 
from the window all blown out.  
This one turned out kinda nice.  

 I hung some of my Lavender 
from Decor Steals 
up there just to see how it looked.  

 Do you have a collection you have displayed 
in a different way?  
I would love to hear about it!

I almost FORGOT!  
I promised you a photo 
of Miss Beaux's Sweetheart Dance!

She will probably Kill me 
but I had so much fun taking pictures!  
She is the one seated on the right.  
I love how they are all laughing and having fun!  
Those will be good memories I'm sure!

Until Next Time
