Hey there!~ Hope you are having a wonderful day!~ Today I want to share some of our French Country Kitchen with you.
You all know by now I am the Rooster queen! I also love sunflowers.
The two just seem to go together nicely and make for a warm country french flair.
Today I am sharing a pretty picture I bought from our local gift shop. I thought this picture would look nice both for the Spring and Summer season.
No more ivy in the strainer…NOW a faux sunflower.
Let me explain what I did with this picture. Although, looks self explanatory, I will tell you why.
The picture looked a little lost behind the back splash. It was not large enough.
{these little cuties egg cups were just gifted to me by my FIL too…very old!
The green board you see behind it was, blue at one time. It was just a plain board that I bought at goodwill. I chalk board painted it, and had it in our laundry room for sometime.
I pulled it out, and layered it!
I love it. Wrote Happy Spring, and my happy corner is happy again!
Just thought I would share these yummy steaks we had while our family was here.
My FIL, noticed the cute rooster on the char crust…he said maybe you can do something with the box! LOL!~
Come on people, I really can’t make something outta nothing! or Can I???
Oh I love your new picture and the sunflowers are always perfect. I am bringing some of mine out too for Spring, they just make me so happy. Gorgeous vignettes in the kitchen. The steaks look yummy. So good. Hugs, Marty
Very cute, Debbie! I must say that if ANYONE can make something out of anything it is you! xo Diana
Yum, those steaks look better than the burgers we just had.
Hi Debbie Dear Cutie Pie! Oh, you amaze me! Look what you’ve done with your little picture! I just love it. Your little egg cups are so cute too! I just love seeing all you do and I’m coveting that darling scale! I’ve been looking for one! Yummy, on those steaks. Mr. Precious grilled filet mignons – melted in my tiny mouth.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Cute! He’s all lining up projects for you!! Love it 😉
Love your vignette Debbie, the fresh cilantro looks yummy, I think I can even smell it. I so miss your parties that I am putting in a request for another reunion some time in the future. I’m sure I’m not the only one who love it to be a regular thing. (Maybe once a month)
Oh, I love sunflowers too. Your new picture is gorgeous and I’m still envious of your yellow colander. I want one so bad!
Have a great week,
Shasta
I am a new follower, and so far, I love everything I see!!! But, I gotta confess – I’m going a little crazy over that beautiful yellow collander! Beautiful! =) Sometimes it’s just the little things, I guess.
We had steaks on the new Barbie tonight! Wonderful Vignettes and as always thanks for hosting us “Newbies”.
What a silly question! Of course you can! heehee! Enjoy your evening!
That sure does look like a happy corner Debbie! Very pretty!!
Hi Debbie! To reply to your think-out–loud ..YES YOU CAN! If anyone can make beautiful from nothing, it’s you!! I love your kitchen roosters and sunflowers ae my thing too..except right now..the bunnies have kicked everyone out. 🙂 Thank you for helping promote our blogs! My next step is to learn how to make a “button” , host a party , and a give-away. Have a great week!!! Dianna
I too love sunflowers as they are so “happy” looking…it can brighten up anyone’s day….Just loved what you did to the chalkboard…very clever and beautiful!
oh yes you can, you are the queen of creating!
This is a great idea of layering for added size. Kudos to you. And, yes, I agree with the others, if anyone can create something from nothing, it would be you my friend!!!
Love the sunny sunflowers! I have to get a scale too, I love them ! I’m back for the party!
Great picture, Debbie! I love how you layered it so it looks a bit bigger.
Very pretty kitchen, Debbie! Love the roosters you have!
The little roosters on the packaging are begginf for a mod podge project.
Love it Debbie! The green is perfect with the yellow sunflowers on it and the black. It looks great in your kitchen!
Love the sunflower sign that you made even bigger. Your fil sure gave you some great things.
I really love your sunflower picture. The way you added it to the chalkboard with the green trim just makes it! Perfect for this summer too.
Sunflowers look amazing. The place is admirable.
Love it, I think it’s great your Father In Law gave you an idea for a post. xo
Oh how bright and cheerful your kitchen looks… all ready for spring:)Love the gorgeous frame and the finish on it and your egg cups are simply adorable. The steaks look very tempting:) Have a great week!Hugs, Poppy
I love sunflowers. My classroom was decorated with sunflowers for about 10 years.
Thank you for hosting, Debbie.

What a great idea to enlarge the picture by layering it, and the way you did it enhances the picture! Your photo of the steaks is making me yearn for some!
Wow! What a treat! Thank you for hosting for us “Newbies”…how nice of you! Those steaks look FABTABULOUS…how did they turn out? So nice to know we both come from Western NY…I will be sure to be back next week 🙂

I love the new picture and what a great way to fill in the space…you’re so smart. I have to admit, I’m REALLY wanting that yellow strainer… so cheerful!!
I love that sign and you know I love me some roosters.
What a perfect solution for that pretty sunflower picture! Great idea!
And yes, I do believe you can make something out of nothing!
the egg cups are soooo cute i love what you did with the sunflower picture it turned out perfect 🙂
I’ve had sunflowers in my kitchen for as long as I can remember – I LOVE them. Your kitchen looks lovely
I love what you did with the wall art, it really brightens up the back splash. I am sure you can think of something to do with the roo’s on the box!!
Have a wonderful week.
Debbie,
Your style and ideas always keep my creative juices flowing 🙂 Thanks for letting me share what I love to do! Have a great week!!

PS-LOVE your yellow colander!!!
I’m soooo excited to finally join one of your Newbie parties! Thanks so much for hosting and can’t wait to see what others linked up.
The steaks look delicious! I love the sunflower and chaulk board!
Hi Debbie! What a great party! Thanks so much for hosting for us newbies! I loved looking around at the other posts and making some new friends. HOpe you have a fabulous week!
Very pretty! And I bet you could do something with the box too lol I’m convinced you could make something pretty out of anything 🙂
Hiya Debbie,
I see great minds think alike. I have a sunflower print I’ve been trying to figure out how to add to my kitchen also. It just seemed to fit in with my rooster kitchen. I love your idea with the board. Has my creative juices flowing now. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing! Love if you’d share this at my Frugal Treasures Tuesday party going on now. : )
You and my sis could be bff’s, she is the rooster queen too! I am the rabbit queen, lol!
Awesome entries so far! so many talented ladies 🙂
I love the sunflowers. I have a similar backsplash, but don’t know how to hang things on it. without damaging the tile. Are you using some of the adhesive wall hangers?
Debbie,
Such a cheery kitchen! Sunflowers always make me smile. I’m loving your red scale. I picked up a black one several years ago at an antique fair in Walnut, IA. However, I didn’t get to enjoy it very long in my kitchen. My husband “borrowed” it to weigh hay for our horses and it has been in our barn every since. Love your blog! I’m a new follower. =)
Thanks for hosting this fun linky!
I am certainly a newbie. I started my blog 3 days ago! So glad I found you! I linked up 2 recipes 🙂
Thanks for the newbie link party, I’ve been finding a lot of great new blogs because of it! I love your new picture and how you made it fit the space! Those steaks are making me want to have a barbecue!
Love what you did with the picture, & I’m crazy for sunflowers, too! Your entire “happy corner” is, well, just so happy! And, one of those steaks would have made me extra special happy….lol!

Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
XOXO
