Welcome to Seasonal Sundays! Spring makes me think PROJECTS. One of the projects on my list is painting. I haven’t gotten there yet, but my dear friend Kim has. Kim just (like this week) finished having her kitchen repainted. She was good enough to allow me to share it with my friends in blogland.
Isn’t it amazing?!?! It looks right out of Country Living.
Kim and I have been friends for close to twenty five years and through those years, we’ve gone on many a shopping trip.
We’ve been to many an antique store…
…antique show…
…and tag sale, …
…not to mention innumerable trips to HomeGoods, TOGETHER!
Kim lined the back of her shelves with paper from ChicShelfPaper.com, which you may recall I featured HERE.
Kim is so talented at showcasing her collections.
When you’re friends with someone as long as we’ve been friends, …
…it’s funny how your taste wears off on each other.
There are definitely things that we both have in our collections.
Yesterday I had stopped by to check out the new paint color.
Today, Kim innocently sent me a text with a photo of how the shelves were coming along.
I immediately asked if I could run over and take some photos.
Before I got there, not only had she finished arranging the shelves, but she had thrown a tablescape together.
Don’t you just love friendships where you can show up at a moment’s notice?
I get to take credit for these curtains. I was shopping at Christmas Tree (gee, do you think Kathleen was with me?) when I spied these. I immediately knew they would be perfect for Kim’s kitchen.
There’s so much more to see in Kim’s adorable home that we’ll have to same some for another visit. I promise, we’ll be back!

Thanks for hosting! Pam
I have such a thing for blue and white kitchens right now and Kim's is gorgeous. I love the open shelf display area. Such beautiful china. Patty
Kim's breakfast nook is beautiful! She really did a great job. I love all the shelving. I, too, have a breakfast nook, but mine doesn't look anywhere near as pretty.
Kim's breakfast Nook is very cozy and the perfect spot for wonderful tea. The shelving is perfect for her collection. The curtains are a nice touch with the cup.& The color of the walls is a soothing color too. Good job I say.

Kim's breakfast nook is fabulous and the hutch with all those stunning teacups, is awesome! Thankas for sharing and thank you for hosting every Sunday this terrific party. Happy St. Pat's!

I most definitely do like your friend's kitchen nook. It's charming!! I love the blue walls and white shelves and trim. It looks very English to me. Her china teacup and teapot collection is wonderful! I noticed the pretty teacup with the Irish claddagh symbol on the front. I also love her toile tablecloth; and the curtains are DARLING!! I would love to have those. :)
Thanks for sharing with us and thank you for hosting Seasonal Sundays.

As you said, looks like it came straight from a magazine. Love it all! She has such a wonderful collection of teacups. I love how she has stacked them. Thanks for sharing!

Delightful absolutely delightful. I could just sit right down and be happy as lark. Love her table and collections on her shelves. You two sound like you have had a fun friendship these years. So glad you ran over and took photos so we could all enjoy it too.

Greetings from Australia♥
You are so right. Kim has such a beautiful touch in putting things together. I LOVE her tea cup collection. I spied several that I also own. Mostly I am touched by your dear friendship. I had a sweet friend who I could drop in at a moments notice, but she lost her battle to cancer 7 years ago, and I sure do miss her. Have a blessed Sunday. And enjoy your friend.

Whay a cozy eating area that Kim has decorated!! I enjoyed seeing her beautiful teacup collection & especially loved the big "TEA" as you enter the room. What fun to have friends with the same shopping tastes. I'd certainly love to share a cup of tea and that pretty room.
When you have china that lovely, it certainly deserves a display as beautiful as Kim's!
Oh I am in tea cup heaven! What a lovely, cozy nook. Well done on the kitchen!
What a fabulous way to display her wonderful collections...please tell Kim we said "thank you" for the inspiration? I'm about to re-do the baker's rack in the kitchen for Easter & I think I may just use all my tea cups!! Hers are sooo pretty & I'm in love with that tiny white one on the table. Too cute!
Thank you for hosting SS again. I hope you had a fun St. Patrick's Day!
Hugs,
Rett
I love this little nook. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Oh, I love Kim's adorable nook! Everything is just gorgeous! And the way she has displayed everything is just picture perfect!
I love it all, you've got to take us back for more! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Big hugs,
Patti
What a cutely decorated kitchen nook!
I would love to have those built in shelves by a window! The color is perfect! Did you mention the color name? I don't remember seeing it.
She arranged everything so cutely!
Love her tablescape too! I see you two are out of the same mold!
Kim's nook is lovely, and I couldn't help but wish someone like her or you had all my mother's cups and saucers that I gave to Salvation Army. Hopefully, someone found them there and felt they had a real treasure.
Thanks for sharing Kim's breakfast area and the fabulous collection of china! I can see she is a girl after my own heart, and I think I recognized a thing or two.
Definitely hope she lets you show more -- the paint color is great, and I do like the paper on the backboard.
I love it! Love Kim's kitchen and her tea cup collection. I love the color she picked, the built in shelves and the curtain you pikced for her. Thanks for sharing...Christine
What a great nook, and I love it all! Very nice collection of teacups, and she's great at stacking them. Thank you both for sharing!
If I told my very good friends that I was coming over with my camera to photograph their kitchen for my blog, they would ask a hundred questions ;o) We bloggers understand one another!
Thank you so much for the reminder, I guess I think it needs to be a tablescape!!! Maybe I can get my parties all lined up.
Happy Sunday
Ann
What a blessing to have a friend like Kim who you can run around with and make memories for so many years! Please give her (and yourself) a big "thank you" for sharing her wonderful kitchen nook re-do.
Wonderful newly painted kitchen! Beautiful dishes! I could park on those shelves and swoon for a while. Lovely tablescape and most important what a great friendship! Friendships are priceless.
Thank you for your Seasonal Sunday party.
Thanks so much for hosting! I am so glad I got to "meet" you during The Great Spring'tacular and I am excited to be linking up to my first ever tablescape party =) Wow! The photos of Kim's table and all her goodies are stunning. What a treat to get to see all that gorgeous china and pretties.
Thank you for hosting and stopping by my blog.
Love your site. New Follower.

Funny that you mentioned Country Living. My latest project was inspired by a CL cover. ;)

Kim has an amazing dish collection in her cozy little breakfast nook! My favorite are the beautiful Shelley pieces.
I do like Kim's kitchen, very much!
The fleur de lys paper lining the display shelves is lovely.
I bet the two of your get into all sorts of trouble when out enjoying a spot of retail therapy.
What fun!
OMG Your friend, Kim, has a gorgeous collection of china and her staging is just meticulous. Thanks for sharing her beautiful nook. Love her choice of blue/white for the paper in her shelving. BTW,I never heard back from you- did you not get the 2 e-mails I sent re: the info you needed for your give-away?
~ Sue
the answer is "YES" I do love Kim's nook! And I love the blue color too. Do you know what color the wall paint is? It is true that a friend's taste can influence me too. So many things to learn! Linda
