GRANNY'S GREAT STUFF!

This week we thought it might be fun to focus on our kitchens: our favorite kitchen decor and our favorite kitchen cooking tools! In Marla's kitchen you will find her favorite item is a picture that she has had stored away in her basement for many years......the picture was her Great-Grandma's. This winter when I was trying to organize my basement storage I came across this picture that my Great-Grandma had in her home, it was a beautiful water-color she bought back in the 1940's!!! I have had it for years but, I always thought it didn't really go with my style of decorating, I had no where to put it and so, it has just sat in storage collecting dust. When I came across it again I knew I had find a place for it somewhere in my house. It may not match my Tuscan Decor but, it has such a sentimental value I can't keep it in storage any longer. I hung it up above some of my kitchen cabinets, added a few side accessories and it all came together! I love the colors in this water-painting and I really think the mat in it, is fabulous: it's a Mirror! Well, after my fantastic picture find it has escalated from there.....I got out more of those boxes that I have had tucked away, things from my grandparents and great-grandparents and I have added many great family treasures through-out my home! I love that these items have 'a story', they add personality and character to my decor! So, take the time to go through those boxes, find some of your Granny's Great Stuff, pull it out and use it...they are great conversation pieces and they will add charm and history to your home!!!!
Love, The Tipsy Girls
