Camping = Redecorating the Kitchen

It All Started…………….

A few weeks ago when my little family took a camping trip to the Idaho mountains.

We camped next to this beautiful river. It had pockets of hot springs. We were having such a wonderful time…Until Liam lost his flip flop down the river. He was so sad. He loved those shoes.

 

Luckily, there was a teeny tinny little grocery store near by. This was their actual sign. I thought it was so cute. I was a little tempted to steal it. But in stead I just took a picture of it.

They happened to have a box of random shoes. We found a pair for Liam to get-by in. We then continued to have a wonderful time camping.

 

As soon as we got home, I had to make me a knock-off of their cute sign. So I found some old wood on the side of the house. Brushed off all the spider webs. Painted it white. Sanded it down really good. Then stenciled on the letters.

I think I found the perfect spot for it.

I then wanted to make a few more changes in the kitchen.

So I took down my bamboo shade and hung fabric in the window.

Brought in this…this…I’m not sure what to call it. I was using it to hang my jewelry before.
But it works perfect for my little tea cups.

And then to tie in the “other side of my kitchen” I added some blue bottles and jars to my wood crate on the kitchen table.

 And there you have it!

 Isn’t it funny the places you find inspirations?

    You are so right, we were both inspired by signs while vacationing. I really like your groceries sign. I may have to make one to match my bakery sign 😉 I also really like your kitchen. Lots of interest. I'm off to see more of your blog.
