A Summer Vignette in the Kitchen
Decorating | Seasonal | Summer
One of my favorite places to change up seasonally, is the island in my kitchen.
A large cutting board makes a great base for just about any type of vignette that I want to throw together.
For inexpensive faux flowers, the daisies that I placed in an enamelware pitcher (from Ikea) look pretty realistic. Plus – bonus! – they’ll last all Summer.
(I think found them at Michaels.)
Once Spring and Summer roll around, I’m quick to bring out some my favorite pieces from Fitz and Floyd. These are from their Herb Garden collection.
The teapot is resting on a few cherished vintage SECLA Yellow Cabbage pieces that my mom passed on to me years ago.
The Yellow Cabbage pieces work so well with the F&F Herb Garden pieces.
Last Spring, I had a lot of fun putting together a Celebrating Spring tablescape with them on my front porch. See that pitcher in the background with the sweet bunny peeking over the top? That’s my very favorite piece out of the whole collection.
This little vignette is so cheery and just makes me smile when I’m slaving away over the stove in the kitchen.
Don’t laugh, Pookie.
Happy Summer!
It looks so cheery! Very pretty!
Wow..the daisies look so real. I have that same pitcher from Ikea. Happy Summer!! 🙂
Suzy, I love this, it is so sweet. Love your collection of Fitz and Floyd. I don’t have any pieces but I have purchased many for my daughters. The salt and pepper shakers are adorable also.
Love to all, Ginger
Those daisies really look real! Great vignette.
I love it, Suzy. Cutting board base is a great idea! xo
Very, very pretty and so happy!
Suzy,
Such a great vignette, love the Fitz & Floyd pieces and enamel pitcher.

I love to change out things for the seasons and the additions of lemons always makes me think of a hot summer day and a cool glass of lemonade. Great choice on your elements for summer!

Beautiful vignette Suzy…Funny…I bought that pitcher for you as a Thank You gift and now I see you have one…ha!…back to the drawing board!….
P.S……or should I say, “cutting board”!!!
Simply Beautiful Suzy!
This looks so summery and fresh! I remember that FF teapot from the earlier post, it is so adorable! I never thought of using faux florals, what a great idea! I am in and out of town so much in the summertime that would be a great solution for me, thanks!

The daises look wonderful, I have to admit I have never considered by faux flowers but these look very nice!
Thanks, Patty
I am such admirer of daisies. Sweet vignette for the kitchen.
