it's all about the hospitable home

July 25, 2016 By Shirley

Vintage Chippiness

I wanted to have another table surface in the kitchenette of the Media room.

So what do you do? You shop the house and the attic too!

I remembered I had a painted vintage drop leaf table in the attic

that was left over from the antique booth days. I measured and it was perfect.

So down it came.

The antique screen door has been leaning against the wall of the kitchenette.

I pondered back and forth as to leaving it there or hanging it on the wall of the butler’s pantry.

I love this screen door frame that I purchased from my favorite shop,

thinking that I may use it in another home as a butler’s pantry door.

The chippy stool was last seen in the kitchen; however, I am granddog sitting and

he has an active tail, if you know what I mean.

So the stool with the ironstone creamer of hydrangeas found a new home on the table.

A boxwood wreath was hung on the screen door.

Boxwood topiaries added to the vignette to compliment the wreath.

Did I mention that I so love this antique screen door.

Should it not work as a future butler’s pantry door, I am sure I can find another purpose for it!

But until then, I love it in this little kitchenette.

I have been busy with many projects throughout the house.

I took a break from painting to place the table in the kitchenette.

Hope you all had a great weekend and have some great things planned this week.

I will be working on my projects indoors (such as my sweetie’s room) to stay away from the heat.

Have a wonderful day!!!

    Shirley, I also love your screen door…and what a great kitchenette! Your drop leaf table looks great with the chippy stool on top. It is fun to shop your house and find all kinds of “stuff” to use and repurpose! A perfect vignette! Happy Monday!

    It looks just perfect Shirley and a good thing you protected the stool and toppings from the doggy tail, LOL.

    Oh my! I love that screen door too! Great find. Haha, I know all about doggy tails! Looks like the stool is in a safe place. It’s always nice when you can shop the house and find just what you need – cute drop leaf table.
    Thank goodness for indoor projects this time of year! Stay cool.

    Love the look – it’s so nice to change things up. That door on a butler’s pantry is perfect…you’ll get the “Screen Door Slap” sound each time it closes.

    Love your screen door, Shirley! Reminds me of the one at my grandmother’s house! I could definitely see it being used on a butler’s pantry.

    Love the screen door too. It looks good where you have it with the table. Does your mind ever stop? all of your decorations are terrific. Looking forward to seeing Sweeties room. Enjoy your grand dog.

    Have a great week.
