I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

4 Walls in the Kitchen, Part 2

  Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!

In a previous post, I shared Part 1 of my Series on my Kitchen, 4 Walls in the Kitchen......
 Click HERE if you missed it......

As I mentioned in this post, I had been doing a few simple projects to "freshen" up my Kitchen.....

Nothing Big Time, but just a few little things......

First, I want to Thank Bev, over at Eclectic Red Barn, for featuring my post, A Little Dabbling in the Kitchen, from last week's Over the Moon Party!!
Thanks so much, Bev!!!

Please stop by and link up to this lovely party!!!

In today's post, I will be sharing the second wall in the Kitchen.....
 This wall was originally the back wall of our townhouse.......

And then we decided to make the patio off the back of our townhouse into another room, our Den!!

We did this close to 40 years ago.........

We took off the back door......
Above where the back door used to be......
A few Roosters on a old Home Interiors shelf.....
A vintage rooster and vaseline glass goblet....
I bought the rooster dish at Salvation Army......
Another vintage rooster and vasoline glass goblet.....
Mini Kitchen utensils and bowl ornaments hang from the shelf.....
In the corner by the stove......
 The red rooster plaque is also an old Home Interior item.....
Another vintage copper mold......

I bought this cutting board several years ago in Michael's......
Pot Holders bought at Dollar Tree......
In the corner on the floor by the stove......
A vintage apron hangs on a hook......
A new Rooster rug to match the others in the Kitchen, recently bought at Penney's......
Vintage rolling pins and mashers in a vintage Planter's Peanuts can.....
A Rooster rug beater is also displayed in the Planter's Peanuts can....
Dish towels from Wegman's and a vintage dish towel in the middle.....
Unlike the first wall I shared in the Kitchen which was purely for decorating. this wall is more utilitarian.....
The stove area.......
Above the stove.......
You may remember my restyled Kitchen Rooster Art......
Click HERE if you missed that post.....

I have a white stove as I am not a fan of stainless steel .......
Vintage pot holders hang above the stove .......
One of several sets of red, yellow and green dish towels.....
I have very little Kitchen counter space in this small Kitchen.....
Next to the stove.......
The pot holder is from Dollar Tree......
The " I know how to cook...I just don't" sign was bought at Gabes......
The yellow pitcher used to hold utensils was also bought at Gabes......
A vintage canning jar holds yellow, orange and white handled vintage forks, knives and spoons that were my neighbor Elly's......

A rooster cutting board that was bought at Wegman's......
I had too little cabinet space to put in a dishwasher but I do still have one........
His name is Joe........
Behind the red dish drainer is an antique wooden cheese box which I use to hold medications that we want handy......
When we made the patio into the Den, we took out the Kitchen window......
I love to decorate this area where the window used to be for different Seasons and Holidays......
On the soffit above where the window used to be.......
You may remember in a past post that I changed this sign bought when Red Lobster had a remodeling sale......
 In to this.........
Click HERE if you missed that post......
 On the sides of the "window"
  And you may also remember I made these......
I hung apple garland, a strand of red rose lights and 2 rooster ornaments.......
 My tea cup chandy that I made a few years ago........
 The glass shutters came from my neighbor Elly's house....
 Along with the vintage canning jars.....
 In the center.....
 This crackle glass hurricane votive was bought at Wegman's and is filled with battery operated fairy lights.....

The bottom of the pedestal that holds the crackle glass hurricane votive rests in a vintage loaf pan......
The sink area......
A bar of handmade soap is kept in a vintage Feistaware bowl.......
On the other side of the sink.......
Scrub pads in another vintage Fiestaware bowl......
These Sugar and Flour canisters were bought a few years ago in Michael's.....
The cookie jar was bought after Christmas on Clearance one year at Target......
The wire tea cup was gifted to me.......

Rooster dish towels from Dollar Tree and another rug form J.C. Penney's........
I hope you enjoyed seeing another wall in my Kitchen.....
Surgery Update:

I am getting stronger each day and am able to do some light housekeeping like running the sweeper and mopping the floors.......

Again, I want to THANK YOU for all your well wishes and prayers for my recovery after knee replacement surgery......

I truly appreciate it and am touched by all your care and concern....

 I hope you will stop by to visit again soon!!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

    Your kitchen is beautiful. I love all the red. And the little sign..."I know how to cook. I just don't" Fits me perfectly. As always very beautiful. Keep healing..

    I am so sorry ....the time got away from me and I didn't realize that you had your surgery already. I am glad that you are doing well, I knew you would. Your kitchen looks lovely!
    My daughter had major surgery Tuesday and will be on short term disability for 8 weeks. She will miss nursing, but said she's going to enjoy the break. Have a blessed Mothers Day.....hugs...

    Cute kitchen. The shutters in the pass through are darling. The flour and sugar canisters have a perfect vintage look.
