Nocturnal nesting...

What does a person do when insomnia strikes? A bit of shelf restyling of course! I just couldn't drift off to the land of nod last night! My thoughts just kept running around in circles like a dog chasing it's own tail. So, I figured I may as well tackle the built in kitchen dresser, or hutch as my American friends like to call it. It's been suffering a bit of an identity crisis since we returned from our trip to South Africa. All the wide open space we got used to made me shift gear, from full speed ahead into 'hoarders haven', to 'de-cluttering mode'. I emptied the hutch, and filled it with all the Cream Ware I own, for a cleaner, more grown-up look. However, my colour thirsty eyes soon became bored with it, lovely as it was, and so last night I decided that it was time to re-dress it with all the rainbow lovelies that I possess. So, here are a few pictures of the newly styled dresser...

A touch of florals...
I hot-glued some floral ribbon to the already lace-trimmed shelves...


























A few favourite things...
Tins...Pyrex...Flowers...


























Enamel plates, and a heart garland...
Some twinkly lights...red, for a warm, fun glow...


























Sweet treats...


























More tins, with a retro flavour...



















































So, what does a person do when insomnia strikes again? One writes a blog post of ones first nights sleepless adventures! And now, I shall tip toe off to bed once more, in search of the next train to the elusive Land of Nod...

Night-night!

  4. Gorgeous...so, so sweetly, completely gorgeous. Your home is the kind of place that dreams are made of, dear gal.

    And speaking of dreams, I hope dearly that sleep comes your way very soon. I don't have insomnia, but I'm often kept awake all night due to my health, and know how taxing it is be unable to sleep, night after long night, when you're exhausted.
