Ooooh, where did you get those wonderful Halloween plates? I'm trying to collect more holiday things, and I know I can't do it all at once, but my boys would LOVE those! Your table setting is great. I love the purple. Oh, and the witch's hat, where did you find that?
Your corner kitchen counter looks great. Really neat pumpkin & witch's hat there, too. My smallest was looking over my shoulder and said, "Itch" for witch when he saw your pitcher. So cute!
Great ghost S & P shakers.

Your dining room table is adorable and so are the rest of your decorations. Not to take away from your great decorations but I'd like to know more, maybe see more of your wall in the second picture if you'd like to share. Punk

Punk, the wall of the kitchen flows right into the diningroom. I live for years with it as two seperate rooms, as the stove was where that angled cabinet is now & we had a hanging divider there for years (because of stove splatter).

When we remodeled just over 2 years ago, I said NO MORE STOVE sitting by my diningroom (the builder had to be an idiot).

We relocated the stove & I purposely left a top cabinet off over the angled bottom cabinets so I could display things at that end. I also graduated the wallpaper down from the diningroom to flow into the kitchen to give it a look of one room flowing into another, rather than chopping the wallpaper off right by the kitchen.

The paper is called "paper illusions" and our own gypsey from here has it on her diningroom wall & she is the one who told me about it.

You actually tear it into pieces & fit it on the wall, no particular order, til the wall is all covered. The gradual flow of it into the kitchen was an afterthought by me, once I had the entire diningroom wall finished.

Here are a few pics I took about 2 years ago, right after we remodeled the kitchen.

Love your Halloween Table and vignettes. I love that hat and the purple banner. Those halloween figures and plates are really cute. I love your Girl Witch on your counter and the witch plate..that's cute too. Your round table has a cute vignette..I bet the Gkids want to sit there and probably Everywhere!! lol...
You did a fantastic job on your renno. I like how you solved your problem with the two rooms and made it 'flow' nicely into each other. The paper was a great idea as was leaving off that upper end cabinet. Love the wood of your cabinets. Is that Hickory? It has a nice rich look to it. Also, the wood of your table and chairs, go so well with it. Very nice ending!!

Yatcher,
TFS your pics. I really like the paper illusions walls. Nice color and how clever of you to leave off one of the top cabinets so you can display things. I never think that far ahead.LOL I too really like the color of your cabinets. I like the lighting in the kitchen you have also.

I keep going back to see that beautiful girl-witch on your counter. She is WONDERFUL. I've never seen such a pretty witch!

hugs, Karen

Let's see if I can answer all the questions.

The pretty witch is from Cracker Barrel this year, I have been looking for a large, pretty witch just for that spot & finally found her at CB. She also has fiber optic lights in her hair, the small pumpkin she holds & also in her skirt.

The cabinets are knotty Alder, with a custom finish on them. I planned the layout of the kitchen for a long, long time. Since it is a galley kitchen, I wanted to get as much out of the space as I could and also it's so visible from the diningroom, I wanted it to look like they all belong together.

All the Halloween plates, except the witch one on the counter (a gift from my grandson last year) were found at garage sales. It was a set of 4, still in the box, brand new for $4.00.

Yes, my grandkids are so used to me decorating now, the table sat empty for about 3 weeks & they all started complaining!

My 7 year old grandson came in last weekend & said "grammy, I love your landscape" LOL LOL guess he got tablescape & landscape mixed up!

Oh your tables are just so cute. I love your Halloween plates, and the sweet witch on the kitchen counter. - Gail

Awwwww, your grandson sounds so cute! Love, love, love your witch pitcher, Yachter! And those plates, how cool are those . . . and for only $4, too! Is your tablecloth new? I really like it . . .heck, I like it all!

You all are making me feel very behind this season! I'm just now getting out my Fall things and probably won't put up Halloween decs until the 18th. I need to get moving!

I think the tablecloth is too cute and I'm sure the kids love that whole tablescape. As for me my favorite, it is the owl plate. But, every little figures is really special. Syble

I never knew there was such a thing as a "Witch - Princess" but you have her! What a beauty!

Knowing you, I figured you found most of your treasures at yard/garage sales! Those plates are perfect.

I have my table done for DS and the DGSs to enjoy. I was so excited last year when I found all of the after Halloween buys that I sat it up and took pics then and shared them. I may show them again for the newcomers.

Love your remodel. Beautiful cabinets and I've been wanting a row of hanging pendant lights over my built-in bar just like the one over your sink. (except in blue, of course!)
The fixture in your ceiling is AWESOME!

Your BEST decoration of all is on the side of your fridge!!!! Now they are truly special!

Betty

Both of the tablecloths are so cute! What a great base for all your decorations! The hat made a great centerpiece along with the glitter words. I totally agree that the witch doll has to be the prettiest witch ever! You really have some cute decorations, love all the plates, the pitcher--just all of it--sure makes your home look festive. TFS. Luvs

Yachter,
I love the plates most of all! What a great buy. I've been looking for Halloween dishes; the best I have is black-and-white enamel spatterware.

All your decorations look really "together" as does your kitchen remodel. My kitchen is VERY open to the family room, LOL, you have to try to keep everything clean!

You're completely covered--the great outside decs and insides ones now too.

- Magpie

Sorry, I made a mistake, was in the basement today & had to move the box that those plates came in & they were NOT $4, they were $2.50, now you can all drool!

The tablecloths were brand new from garage sale, the one in the sunroom is vinyl, the one in diningroom is linen.

Luvs, the pitcher was from last year at yard sales too.

Thank you all for all the compliments, I truly am not that happy with how the diningroom table came out, but if you all like it, then I guess I did ok.... LOL

Betty, I ended up ordering that pendant light online for over the sink, as I never could find exactly what I wanted locally in stores. I don't know if I still have the info where I ordered it or not.
