Kitchen Vignette For March


I'm always changing the vignette in this little corner next to the sink. The teapot lamp is a constant and I recently added my favorite photo of Dexter and I. The green frame is the same green as the cabinet sample.

To the left of the sink is an apothecary-like dish soap dispenser that I keep refilling.
I love its elegance. It sure looks better than the Palmolive squirt bottle!

A pair of ivy topiaries in tole planters flank both sides of the sink.
I like how they stand out against the white marble and tile.

Candles on the windowsill!

And that's my kitchen vignette on a gloomy March evening.

I added one more thing.
A grocery store bunch of daffodils not only smells good, but is a spot of sunshine inside while it rains cats and dogs outside.
Wishing you all a fantastic week! Spring is just around the corner!

  7. Just a hint...

    I also have some gorgeous soap dispensers designed for one use, but I want to keep refilling, so I protected the labels by covering them with some handy-dandy clear pastic packing tape. Tah-dah! Laminated.

  9. Ok stop the press, Dexter is too cute, I want a Dexter too! I love the fact you make even the dishwashing area a great place to work at. I havent come across the Muchison-Hume brand but it certainly elevates the style factor from the usual gaudy coloured bottles. Very smart Delores.

  10. I found the bottle at Anthropologie on sale a year ago.
    The label is great because it doesn't come off. My poor little Dexter was the cutest ever. Sure do miss that little guy.

  11. I decant my dish soap too, it makes me a better washer-upper because I don't hide it away any more.

    Love your vignettes as always Delores, and so intrigued by what appears to be a fin on top if your car. Don't tell me you floofed your ride?

  22. Isn't it funny how just a little tweak here and there, can make us happy? New little votives on the windowsill, grocery store daffodils? Simple, but everytime we tend to our senses.......it pays off. I love the picture of you and your sweet Dexter.
