On a whim . . .

A lot of my decorating is done on a whim.

I can look at something every single day and then all of a sudden, I decide things need changing - right then.

I spend a lot of time on my window seat blogging, reading, eating . . . 

and yesterday, out of nowhere, I decided I was tired of the vignette on top of the porch cabinet.

All it took was about 30 minutes 

to have a new view from my perch on the window seat.

The first order of business was to remove the pitchers on top of the cabinet and replace them with baskets that had been sitting in the garage just waiting for a home.

KC gave me the roses for Mother's Day and I never even put them in water - they went right to the drying stage so I would have the flowers for decorating.

I decided to go with blue and yellow inside of the cupboard.

A favorite bowl that KC brought me from Spain 

and a fish plate I found in my mother's cupboards are now easy to find and I will use them more.

My fiestaware pitchers are now easily accessible as are the tablecloths I use on the garden table.

Beneath the cabinet, a vintage basket (will anyone notice that it is green?) holds pillows for the garden chairs.

I have had a lot of different vignettes on top of the cabinet and I must say this is my all time favorite.

Today's project is not a whim.

Painter's drop cloth, stencils, paint and sachet are my supplies for an idea I came up with - I hope it works.
