"Times They Are a Changin" in my Kitchen

February 25, 2014
I have lived in this house for over 20 years, and I can hardly remember a time that I didn't have this shadow box on my kitchen wall.

This is it today.  Not redecorated since I removed my Valentine's Day items.

The pine shadow box was not painted when I purchased it.  It was stained in a dark stain with no varnish or polyurethane.  It was perfect for my cutesy country decor in the 1990's.


Then I painted it red.

Here is the shadow box in red back in 2011.  This was the very first time it appeared on my blog.

Shortly after Christmas, the shadow box was painted black and filled with vintage kitchen collectibles.

I am changing up the kitchen wall displays, and the shadow box is going to go.  It was a perfect piece for seasonal displays and small collectibles but I think I have exhausted my creative possibilities with the shadow box.  

I am working on one kitchen wall today.  I think this old board will be on it.

This little chippy stool may work in the kitchen.

I hope you will stop back to see the changes!

  8. You have certainly made good use of the shadow box, I love the way you arranged your vintage pretties. The drawer is a great idea, too! Great inspiration, something I'm lacking t the moment!

  13. I get so attached to things and don't always like the changes I make that I end up putting stuff back where it was.

  18. It must be the time of year we all want to change things up! At least you've got lots of great vintage things to pick from. I know you'll come up with something creative for your kitchen, Carlene!
