Dresser Dressing

It's amazing what you can find about the house!


My kitchen dresser needed a bit of cheering up after I had taken all the Christmas bits and pieces away.  I missed the cheery reds - so decided to have a look around the house to find some colourful additions.


Compare before - as in blog header - with after. 


Much better, or a bit cluttered?


I love it - enjoy looking at some of my favourite things all in the one place and it really cheers up the kitchen!


Perhaps time for a new blog header?

Love, Liz

Hi Liz, I love the new pop of colour, its homely and cheery. I don't think it is cluttered at all...perfect!

I love your dresser, it looks very cheerful and the tea cosy is lovely. It's nice to go "shopping" around the house, it doesn't cost anything!

Lots of love xxx

I love it! Its not clutter, its cheerful, special things that mean something to you and are a part of your life - spotless houses and clear tops look good but they are so soul less and un-lived in - give me a bit of cosy colourful clutter any day!

Your dresser looks great both before and after!

Hi Liz,
Somehow I lost track of you, so I'm very glad for your visit and here I am to admire your vintage treasures.
The dresser is beautiful and I love your tea cozies, perhaps I'll make one myself :)
The white Bristol cups are very pretty and delicate, too.
Hugs

Dressers are wonderful things. The more you put on, the better they look. And if all the items are precious to you it's even better. Yours is a wonderful, colourful feast for the eyes.
Love from Mum

It looks good both ways , but adding the red does make it more cheery. I love my dresser and keep wanting to add more to it!

No such word as clutter - just lovely things!!! Very cheery!

I think your was a winter look before with the more subtle colors and bits of blue. Now it is red and ready for Valentine's Day. This is what makes dressers fun...playing with the look. That said, I keep my good dishes in mine and never seem to change things anymore. I should do so one day.

Hugs from Holland ~
