Kitchen--Details Part Deux

...thought I'd share a few more pics of the kitchen...










I got this tray for $1.00 at a thrift store years ago and hung it up here for a magnet board. I made magnets from flat marbles, stamped images on paper, cut it out and glued it on the marble. Then glued a magnet on the back. Ta-da! I also used a scrabble tile and made a magnet out of that, too. I have several in my playroom (studio) holding up inspirational pics and notes.
The paper is turned over, because I'd printed out emergency phone numbers plus the neighbors phone numbers and I think they wouldn't appreciate the blog world knowing all that!! ;-)



Gotta have a phone with note paper and pens ready, right? Why not display them all on a pretty silver tray? I always have a candle lit somewhere, too. The pens are sitting in a vintage flower vase.
This darling little note book holds "stickie" notes. The cover was made by my dear friend, Judy. So adorable!

Even tho I have 'readers' I need a magnifying glass for fine print. So I always have this one on hand.. It magnifies a fortune-cookie suggestion. I love the reminder. "Plan to have some fun"

A little shelf hanging by my sink with fun little doo-dads...I've amassed a bit of a collection (5) vintage egg cups. I love them! Use 'em to hold votive candles....

Like this!

These are great ideas and they just make things so much more fun to look at. The tray magnet board is a great one and oh so practical and I love the way you collected the phone and "what not" on the silver tray. It is touches like this that make a house a home. Thanks for discovering my blog so that I could discover yours!

I love the black tray (that I cannot believe you got for a buck!!). How great is that as a little bulletin board-type thingy. I have one of those trays and I love your idea and I may use that idea. You always have such great ideas!!
