After the Christmas decor was returned to the attic, it seems there was a kitchen counter that remained rather bare. Something needed to be done, so ...
I wandered out into the meadow and gathered up some flowers.
A bunny in blue shoes followed me back into the house.
He got busy drawing a sunny picture as the gloomy days are getting to him.
While he was busy with his artwork, I went to the cupboard to fetch ...
My Carolina Gems and ...
a pair of birdie vases.
Mr. Blue Shoes was still working on his masterpiece so I headed outside with my clippers ...
to snip a few pieces of rosemary. It's one of the few things that are blooming in the garden right now. Once I got back inside I gave the birdies new hats ...
and nestled them in with the gems.
it wasn't long until the bare counter was done.
Well, almost done.
It seemed the other end needed something too.
There, now we're done.
So glad that bunny hopped in here today.
I never could have done it without him ; - ).
Oh, it looks so colorful and springlike! Great idea. Flowers perk up everything, don't they?

So fresh and Spring-like! Lovely that you have flowers right now. I'm so ready to have that feeling in our home!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet indeed, love the bunny and the flowers..so cheerful, just what we all need in January! :D
ReplyDeleteThe colors of blue and yellow are so pretty together! I hope you have some sunny days ahead! ♥
ReplyDeleteYou are ready for spring! I don't think the mild weather is helping me one bit and I know that I'm going to get bit with winter all over again for weeks to come. Still, spring in the house can't hurt at all. I'm impressed with blooming rosemary. Have never seen it bloom before.
ReplyDeleteYour counter looks wonderful now! I wish my herbs were still blooming outside.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteYour counter looks adorable! I love your floral arrangement. How nice is that..to walk outside and gather those beautiful flowers.
Your bunny helper is too cute!
Hugs!
You did a lovely job of decorating your counter! Lucky you to have flowers blooming, too. Mr. Bunny is a cute little helper.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did. Can't wait for Spring now.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a meadow and something blooming in it! Nothing like that here in the Midwest. But I love the early Spring look, as I'm still carrying Winter things to the attic. (My big tree is still up):-0
ReplyDeleteMight as well hunt up my Spring stuff while I'm up there and save some time! :D

Kim, I love the colors you used-reminds me of France for some reason. Very Spring like I must say! Good job!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty how you filled that little empty counter space. Your home always looks beautiful. I'd love to visit and have a tour! : )
ReplyDeleteThat looks so beautiful and ready for spring to arrive! Love the colors of blue and yellow mixed together! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteIt is so interesting to me how you take a simple adventure and make it sound like so much fun. Not only that, you create beauty with every vignette you put together. What a perfect way to bring Spring fever into your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Looks like spring might be coming!
ReplyDeleteYour counter top looks beautiful! I love the bunny and the flowers..... the Rosemary sure made sweet little flowers in the vases... I will remember to do that!!
ReplyDeleteI love the colorwashed look of those tiles you chose for your countertop. The added accents make for perfect color combinations. I just read Heather's story in your previous post -- and read many entries on her blog -- very inspiring when someone takes their health into their own hands and stays positive through all the ups and downs. Hope your days is beautiful. Tammy
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good over there. Now you have me thinking about spring...which is surely around the corner!

ReplyDeleteBlessings, Debbie

Happy weekend!
I love how you took a bare counter (which of course looks even more bare after Christmas!) and turned it into something beautiful. Thanks for sharing the beauty with us. I'm your newest follower, stop by for a visit with me sometime if you'd like. Hugs ~ Mary
