So i already decorated my Fire place Mantel in January, HERE, more pictures HERE. I thought it was time for the Breakfast nook....
So here it was yesterday...
Here today...
First, the table...Bunny, glass container, faux stained glass frame, Birdhouse and spring flowers...
This little bunny came with a purple bow, i changed it for a white...
Now for the buffet...
This little Angel was 5 years outside, cleaned it up a little bit....but it still looks weathered not muddy...
I bought those frames, Hand painted them gold, crackled coat, white paint on top.....The post cards are from Paris. In Paris, Showing affection and kissing in public is normal...people do not get offended. If you go to Paris, be prepared to see a lot of kissing. LOL.
A pillow on the floor? I like it Mommy...
You can see the Mantel from the Breakfast nook...Perfect...
Tutorial on Stained glass frame.
See this cute frame....
First i got a frame at a Thrift store, i like the details on it....Painted it white, then i sanded it...
Then at a Craft store i bought Faux Stain glass led. It is adhesive on the back...You just take off the tape.
Stained glass paint...Gold Sparkle and Crystal clear here. I used the gold.
A tool to smooth the led....Use glove too. The sharp edges of led can cut.
Have your design prepared on paper or your head. Apply the led, cut with scissor to fit.
Paint and let dry.
Cute! You can also ask your builder to give you an out of reach window and do this. Or do it on your Bathroom window for privacy...

Looks beautiful. Your home is stunning...that mantle impressive. I love that weathered buffet and you did an amazing job on those frames.

Love it!! The frames are awesome. Thanks for the tips, you crazy, creative woman!! :-)

Thanks for following my blog! :) I'm glad you like my toile wallpaper...I just LOVE it! I fell in love with it instantly when I saw it on Ebay.
Oh, I would like to be friends too. :)
Did you go back and see my entire kitchen makeover...if not, you should take a peek...the before photos just don't look a thing like the after! :)
I love that birdhouse! More like a bird chateau!!!!
Thanks for the tutorial that looks right up my street!
The stained glass frame is super easy to do and you can make one for each room with different colors and style. Very cheap. Great gift too...:)
The changes are lovely. I did notice your beautiful slip covered chair. Love it!!!!
I am going to try the stained glass technique. It is really beautiful!

You have inspired me. When the workers are done in the basement, I am going to have them come and paint all of my ceilings light blue on the upper two levels. We already have bright blue ceilings in my front room and I have been debating about what to do with the other ones--knowing I wanted color and leaning toward blue but not sure. Anyway, thank you. And my house thanks you as well. (I like light colored, walls in most cases and I love painted ceilings.)
You go Janice!!! Eternal blue sky in your home :)
Love ya
Frenchy
I love your centerpiece. The flowers and cute little bunny looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed all your photos today, love the frames you did with the crackle.
Lovely vignettes! Love the stained glass idea. Thanks for sharing! :)

Very nicely done! It looks like spring in your breakfast nook. Love the stained glass!
Very creative!
Wow that looks great! Your dining room looks like it came straight from a magazine
Love your Spring vignette on the dining table and I also love the sideboard cabinet. The room is beautiful!
Everything looks just wonderful! BRAVO! Anita
I saw that same bunny at Steinmart and I almost bought him! I love your faux stain glass idea, it looks amazing!
There are so many good ideas in this post! I like the birdhouse as the table centerpiece and your crackle frames turned out very nice.
Cathy
i've used the stain glass products and they ARE great, but never thought to use it on a picture frame...mmmmm.
your breakfast nook is perfectly springy, indeed!
Your mantel is so petty. I love your vignette and the one you did on the buffet is gorgeous too. Your buffet is a stunning piece of furniture. The frames turned out beautiful. Your stained glass is so clever and along with the bunny, birdhouse and plants is such a lovely spring centerpiece. Everything looks wonderful. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty

Your house is so lovely. You and I have the same taste in decorating...only your house is so much more put together than mine for sure.

AMAZING what a few items will do to a room... ADORABLE furry one too!
So little and simple ideas that creates another view. Such smarty.
TY for sharing...
What a great touch! I love all your little vignettes you have. Those chair slip covers are very lovely too, I have never seen ones like that here!
What a beautiful room. I love everything, and the new Spring touches are wonderful.
Karen
Beautiful decor ideas!
Debbi, i think you can get those slipcover chairs on Ebay. You only need 2 for each side of the table. I got them a long time ago at Target.
Love
Frenchy
Your changes are absolutely beautiful. I love the little bunnie and the cherub!! You have really great style!
All your vignettes are lovely. You have a great vision. Hope you will have time to come take our tour of the Architectural Digest Home Design show. -- Jane F
Very lovely!
Thanks for joining Get Your Craft On Thursday at Life As Lori... Please join me next week for another great party!
love it...and the stained glass looks soooo real!
These are all wonderful. I love the display, and the detail on your dresser/hutch thing. The stained glass tutorial is helpful. I have all the materials to do that, but I had changed my mind, and this gives me another good idea. Thanks for sharing this!
Hope you will stop by next week for my Bring In The Spring Party. :-)
I was admiring that sweet little window on your table. I'm so glad you shared how you made it! Did the frame come with glass and you just took the back off?
Thanks for linking up to Make it Yours day at My Backyard Eden!
Your home looks lovely all dressed for spring. The little window turned out great! I am in love with your mantle display.
Hi Frenchy,
That's a monster of a square table I love it. Wish I had the room in my diningroom for one like that. Tiny little diningroom. Tell me about the floor in your DR? Is it real slate it looks great.
Have a great day.

Ok...love the buffet, love the arrangement on the fireplace, love the arrangment on the table. Love it all. You really have "the eye" for decorating. I'm going to have to follow you. :)
The floor is Cobblestone in the DN. I have wood, cobblestone floors everywhere.
Really pretty! Love the crackle frames with the French couples. Very chic.
Love all your little changes...made for a big change.
