Well, summer is a darling and the kind and generous Pat from Summersdarling had a giveaway last week! Hooray!! to my surprise, I won!! The gift was these two gorgeous vintage black and floral trays. I love them! Oh they are stunning and I have many areas to display and enjoy them. I found the perfect spot, for now, in my kitchen in two plate racks making them easy to reach, use and display.
Also Pat so lovingly wrapped the trays in black, green and pink vintage barkcloth. I will for sure do something special with this delicate fabric. The fun is always in the packaging and Pat used pretty paper to wrap the shipping box, plus added a sweet best friends graphic on the front!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH PAT! I will truly treasure these beauties! Make sure and stop by to visit Pat at Summersdarling, Just Between Us Girls! She is highlighting a featured artist and her shop pictures are so inviting.
While I have you in my kitchen, I will share a new decorating addition this week above the stove top area. Shelf's above the stove have become very popular in an old world style look. I had no room for a shelf, but decided if I took off the doors from the hood style cabinet, I could achieve the look I was going for. I painted the stove vent pipe, added the vintage lace made by my grandma, accented with old accessories, and added a small accent light. I do plan to paint the inside of the cabinet in a soft sage.
As you can see, I love to remove cabinet doors to display what is inside or like the small shelf below, I took off the doors and added the two baskets making it more of a drawer area to hold hand towels etc. I have also removed doors on the shelf's where I keep dinner plates and other serving pieces. Doing this really opens up the room and expands the space, giving a larger appearance.
This has been a very busy week and I have been on a roll with the paint brush! I redesigned a garden bathroom, bedroom and master bath by painting vanities and desk area. I will share those pictures soon. But for now, I will leave you with a faux sweet treat of french vanilla ice cream. Thank you for stopping by and till next time, Blessings and Blue Skies be yours.

Celeste, such beautiful trays, Congratulations. They do look wonderful in your kitchen. I love the cupboards and peeking inside to see your displays. Your decorating is lovely, and I can't wait to see what you have been up to. Karen
Celestina, I'm loving your blog. It's my first visit. Your artwork - so soft and romantic! You hung the trays in the perfect spot! But you knew that! ;-)
I'll be visiting again. It's all so pretty!

The trays are so pretty in your kitchen. I also love the idea of taking off the doors to make the shelf area above the stove. I may have to steal that idea!
My Dear Celeste.....
Thank you thank you thank you
for the lovely post about the trays and the trays look amazing just where you placed them. Love the hood idea and just everything you do. Everything you touch becomes so artistic and beautiful.
Also...did you every think about placing glass in those open cupborads...maybe just a few not all of them as I love the open cupboards very much and then painting some of your increidble roses on the glass. We are going to do that in our kitchen soon and my husband will etch the glass with NUTMEGHILL and and an image of the house...cannot wait.
Thank your for all the sweet comments you send to me. YOUR THE BEST.
Love and hugs,
Pat
Aren't you a clever girl. I love what you did. And congratulations on your win. I have seen lots of faux goodies around but never ice cream. It would never melt. Hope you are having a great day.
Hi Celestina,
Thanks for your comments on my blog.
Sounds like you have been very busy. Your kitchen looks wonderful! I love your decorating style and can't wait to see the results of your latest projects.
Have a fruitful week.
Hi Celestina!
What a great idea for a kitchen cabinet... take off the doors... DUH! I have never thought of that and I love that look! You are so clever. I really like what you did in both spots in your kitchen. That adds so much character. (although your kitchen is beautiful on it's own)
Congrats on winning those pretty trays!
Hugs, Sherry
Oh Celeste, those trays look perfect there! Yes, I love the way Pat wraps goodies! That ice cream looks pretty darn good with all this heat we've been having. Can't wait to see what you have done with your cabinets.

Those trays are beautiful. Lucky you for winning them and they look lovely in your beautiful kitchen. That ice cream looks so real and good, just the perfect treat for a hot summer day. Hope you are doing well!
Hi Celeste, thank you so much for your kind words. You don't know how much they mean to me. I'm just so blessed to be able to help these people. The little baby that I have to take a quilt to this week is going to be so hard, but I will just pray real hard before I go and I'm sure the Lord will get me through it. Thank you so much for adding my logo to your blog. You are such a blessing to me!

Hi Celeste! Beautiful trays you won ~ and you did find just the perfect place for them!! I didn't know you had so many roosters, too! I just bought a couple more for my kitchen last week! Love the new hood re-do! I'd never have thought of that. Your brick arch just melts my heart every time I see it. I wondered why I hadn't heard from you in a while, but wow, you've been a busy little bee! Can't wait to see more of your projects. It's almost vacation time!!!
Love you,

Congrats on winning those two sweet trays. They look perfect where they are.

Penny
Celeste what a beautiful addition to your home! Come visit me for a long overdue post on my blog. I have been redecorating and also have a new pic of grandbaby!
Hi Celeste
Congratulations on the win. Those tole trays look so good in your kitchen. I like what you did above the stove. I immediately went to my cupboards above the stove to see if I could do the same thing. It might work! In a previous home I took off a lot of the doors. I've thought about it here but haven't yet. Hmm....maybe!
Hugs,Rhondi
Great blog! I love the trays you have displayed and how you took some of your cabinet doors off for more display room too.
Mmmmm...thanks for the delicious virtual ice cream! I think that is virtually the best way to eat it since it won't ruin one's figure! LOL!
Congratulations on winning the trays! I think you've found the perfect spot for them in your beautiful kitchen! I love what you did with the kitchen cupboard above the stove and how you balanced the look with the shelf look below. Beautifully done, as always you are a fabulous decorator.
