Spice Up The Kitchen With New Decor:

Today’s Kitchens are more than just a place to eat. They have become in many cases the heart and main gathering spot for many homes. From Contemporary to Country make your kitchen a warm welcoming place for friends and family to gather.

• Kitchens - The New Family Gathering Spot                                                         Thinking back I realize when growing up the only time my family was in our kitchen was to eat, well times have certainly changed.

• Cozy Country Theme Kitchen                                                                              When you hear “Country Decorating” what comes to mind. Words like Casual, Warm and Relaxing, these are words that describe a room that says “ Welcome”

• French Country In The Kitchen                                                                           Take a trip to the French country side, stop in to any home walk into the kitchen and immediately feel the warmth.

• Contemporary Kitchens - Simple, Sleek & Uncluttered                                              Clean and simple, uncluttered designs with slick surfaces are the key words when describing contemporary design.

Dress Up The Dinning Table With New Accessories

Changing of the seasons is the perfect opportunity to change Home Decor. Why not give your dinning table a face lift to welcome the warmer weather.

The table setting pictured here from Williams-Sonoma is a beautiful example.

Using a table runner and placemats in a soft yellow & blue accented with simple but elegant looking white dinnerware, then adding that gorgeous bouquet of tulips give the table a fresh feel.

The setting has a French county style, however it would certainly work in any decor setting.

A Personal Host Or Hostess Gift

Here’s a really cute idea from Country Living Magazine. A personalized gift for the friend who loves to cook.

• Apron - Choose your friends favorite color. Monogram their initials with iron-on-transfer letters.

• Wooden Kitchen Utensils -  Spoons, Forks maybe a Rolling Pin, what ever you like. Tie together with ribbon that coordinates with the apron.

• Blank Recipe Book - Any size, shape and color. A small photo book with blank index cards could also be used. 

• Personalize the cards by stamping the initials of your host or hostess in one of the top corners.

Place in a decorative box or a wooden basket that can then be used in the kitchen
