A Kitten in the Wallpaper

I was looking at the china hutch

a couple of weeks ago and thought

I’d give it a spruce-up for fall…

I was out in the garage getting out the paint again

to start the final push on the patio cover

(decorated, completed patio cover post coming soon!)

when I noticed our leftover wallpaper which was used

at our old house

in the downstairs powder room.

Hmmm… I had a flash-thought and

brought those pieces

back inside the house,

wiped the dust off the fronts and backs,

and trimmed the tiniest bits

to get them to fit

along

the hutch’s shelf-backs.

I tried not to cut any of the length off

since I might want

to use these leftover wallpaper pieces

later-on in another project.

I had thought they might look nice

inside the

picture moulding on our kitchen island.

Kinda spice up the island!

The green floral wallpaper gives the hutch
a nice look for fall.
Each year I have fun bringing out
the china
pieces I associate with fall:
the beehive teapot from my husband’s
late aunt and uncle
who lived in Washington,
the seconds teapot with little mice
“giving thanks”
around their tea table.

The lid’s transfer was put on upside-down ~
hence the “seconds” classification,
but I love it just the same!
