oinking it up...

a good friend recently gave me this ceramic pig speaker as a housewarming gift, knowing that i'm going for an understated 'pig theme' in my new all white kitchen. it's a pretty awesome gift i have to admit. it's not something i would ever buy myself, but it's a great little gadget to have in the kitchen so i can listen to some tunes while i'm cooking...


so other 'pig' items i have in the kitchen are a simple wood pig cutting board (given to me by my aunt) and my unhung pig towel holder (from some unknown sender)...but i'm thinking some 'pig art' from etsy is in order....






i don't think i showed you the bench seat cushion my seamstress mother made for the kitchen window seat, it's finished and it looks great! i need a few more pillows in a variety of stripes & plaids, but i think it's looking pretty snazzy already...


i like these striped & plaid pillows but refuse to pay a lot of money for a damn pillow when i can make one myself...





do you like the table? it's this one from ikea, the ingo table, i just painted the legs the same color as the walls & trim in the kitchen (ben moore white dove) and stained the top with a min-wax polyshade bombay mahogany and topped that with 4 coats of satin polyurethane...not bad for a $69 table right?...

  1. Thank you for finding my handwoven plaid pillow cover & posting my photograph on your blog. I wove this fabric on my floor loom using fine mercerized cottons. I truly never imagined that one of my handcrafted pieces would be included in a listing of pillow covers issued by West Elm & the other big retailers. How very thrilling for a housewife from New Hampshire.
