Updated Odds and Ends in the Kitchen

I have been trying to "take it easy" with spending money and/or updating the house since the holiday season is coming up. However, I have made a few (cheap!) additions to the kitchen that I thought I would share with you all!

The above photo shows my handmade kitchen curtains and three hanging starbursts! The shiny, aqua blue starbursts are actually Christmas ornaments that I found at Michael's Crafts for $2.99 USD each! The aqua color pairs nicely with the blues in the kitchen.

While at Michael's, I bought another sheet of atomic rub-on transfers. I also bought the square white ceramic vase on the right. I simply put some transfers on it to jazz it up! I also put a transfer on my Fiestaware pitcher. I know it looks faint but it kind of blends in due to the vibrant blue glaze.

Here is a potholder I made using a remnant of Circa 50 fabric in "Space" and a yard of 5/8 inch wide teal blue velvet ribbon. I bought a yard of the fabric on Etsy a while back. I made a tablecloth out of it for my kitchen table about a month ago or so.

Here is an upclose look at the potholder:

I also ordered a fat quarter of the Circa 50 "Starbursts" fabric (matches my kitchen curtains) last week. I am going to make decorative tea towels to hang off my stove.

I think my kitchen is pretty much finished. I would like to update my guest bathroom and powder room but I think I will wait until the holidays are over.

There is so much I want to do in my house but I need to be patient! You should see my favorites list on Etsy right now! It is so hard to "be good!"
