Feeling Cornered

I am such a fan of nooks and crannies in a home. You know, those funky little spots that are sometimes difficult to decorate, but always fun! Living in a newer home, I don't have too many quirky areas, but this little corner of my kitchen is just a sliver of space between the counter and patio door.
This chair was a GW find for $2.00 - I painted it with black, gave it a little distressing and a wax. Too cute! On it, a basket full of pretty towels to wipe off the dirty paws of our buddy Parker.
Adorable galvanized tin sits atop an upside down WalMart utensil holder that I hadn't been using for awhile.
Plate holders with plates and a framed W from Hobby Lobby. I love putting things other than plates in plate holders thanks to inspiration from Liz at Savvy Seasons.


Close up of one of my favorite plates - I am sure it was a Home Goods or TJ Maxx find a few years back. Love the little sitting dog.


 That's it from my little corner of the world!
Wishing you happiness,
Jane

    That is a really cute little chair you painted. They never sell anything like that for $2 at our GW. I also love the lookk the little basket of towels. It really finishes it off. I found you at Debbiedoos. Hope you'll stop and see me at Quirky Vistas! I'm your newest follower!

      Our local Goodwills' are hit or miss in the bargain department. Furniture is usually very, very cheap (especially chairs), but often the smaller, home decor items are waaayyy overpriced. :)

      Thanks for stopping and reading at Quirky Vistas, Jane. I appreciate hearing from you. I guess maybe our goodwill has some deals, but it seems like anything that isn't a dish or glass is marked starting at $8, every time. It seems to be their go-to price. Other furniture is so overpriced it's been sitting there forever. Glad yours does well on furniture!

    Nice job. I would love to find a chair like that. So often those small spaces are ignored. It was very creative of you to turn it into an attention getter.

    After seeing your GW chair, I'm wishing I would have brought home the gossip bench I saw there today. I love what you did with this corner. It is so charming and filled with personal touches. I have one of those framed monograms that has been in a closet lately. You've inspired me to pull it out again! And I LOVE you black and white plate. I never tire of those kinds of patterns.
