Since we started talking about kitchens, I have found a few things that are interesting.
First of all, bouquets of flowers, of which I have talked about before, add a bit of garden ambiance to your counter top of table. I love to change them on my table. I have found alstromeria to give great colors, and lasts a long time. In Florida it is readily available at our super markets, for a small price of $4.00. Last evening, I bought a bouquet of pink. Out of one off my magazines it stated" think how you feel when you walk into a flower shop". The beauty of flowers never surprises me. This adds a touch of color and elegance even on a dreary day.
Place mats are a favorite of mine. I can't resist them. I have so many different ones, and still buy them. They, along with flowers, add such a special touch to any kitchen table. At dinner time, add some candlelight and you have a very romantic setting even if it is only pizza.
I like to find place mats on sale. I recently found some great navy blue ones at Dillards for $2.40 each. It doesn't matter if you change them every week for something else for that price. I also love plain white place mats and place a colored one on top of it and let the white peek out a little. Actually, you can do this with any plain color. I found some great white place mats at a garage sale for $1.00 for 8. Great Bargain!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you find bargains like that? Please tell me if you do.
