Mason Jar Spice Rack on an Old Spool with Vintage Kitchen Utensils and a Sign | Denise on a Whim
My new kitchen decor series continues today with my updated Mason Jar Spice Rack.
I used this old spool for my spices before, but these pretty jars are all new. (And old, of course!)

Mason Jar Kitchen Canisters

I love Mason jars just as much as the next vintage-loving girl.
And, of course, I have a small collection of them at home.
I finally decided to give them a permanent home in my kitchen as canisters.

Vintage & Repurposed Kitchen Soap Station

Vintage & Repurposed Kitchen Soap Station | Denise on a Whim
I'm finally ready to share my kitchen decor updates with you!
Woot Woot!
It's been a lengthy process, mainly because I've been doing it piecemeal and finding most things at the thrift store.
But I'm ready to show off some of my new decor!
Today I'm sharing my new soap station!

Vintage and Thrifted Plant Containers

Thrifted Basket Spring Planter | Denise on a Whim
I recently decided to go a little greener in my house.
I added a few plants, both real and fake, here and there.
The little basket above is one spot.
A few pots from the dollar store and a wooden basket
makes a nice little springtime display.

A friend of mine gave me this really nice vintage suitcase.
I just love the coloring on it.
The way it has naturally aged is quite beautiful!

Ammo Box Table

I'm going to start of today's post by giving myself a nice little pat on the back!
Why, you ask?
Because I built this table. All. By. Myself!
And I'm feeling pretty darn proud!

Valentine Vases with Repurposed Sweaters

Sweater and Heart Vase Upcycle via http://deniseonawhim.blogspot.com
If you're anything like me, you have a boatload of clear glass vases sitting in a cupboard somewhere in your house. Mine are in the cupboard above my refrigerator. The cupboard I can't reach unless I get a chair to stand on. I have about 10 vases and only two that I ever really pull out and use. So I figured I would find a way to pretty up those vases and put them to good use!

Vintage Valentine Vignette

Vintage and Thrifted Pieces in a Valentine Vignette via http://deniseonawhim.blogspot.com
Sometimes all it takes is one small, pretty thing to inspire an entire vignette. That's exactly what happened when I swapped out the decor on my wall shelf recently!

My Own Little Christmas Corner

Charlie Brown Tree in a Bushel Basket via http://deniseonawhim.blogspot.com
In my house, Christmas decorating is all about the kids. We have all sorts of character ornaments on our tree, not to mention a boatload of handmade ornaments from throughout the years, most of which I can attribute to my own little munchkins. I love each and every thing on our tree. But I also have a real desire to do a pretty theme for my Christmas decorating. This year, I think I've accomplished both!

A Junky Fruit Bowl

 Boy, am I glad I picked up a broken metal base at a yard sale a few weeks ago! It turned into something I'm absolutely loving... this junky fruit bowl!

Vintage Suitcase Table

I've always wanted to try my hand at one of the awesome suitcase tables I've seen around. And when I saw an incredibly gorgeous vignette on Pinterest with some brown, white and red suitcases, I fell in love! So I pulled one of my old suitcases out of the garage and got to work!

My Kitchen Crate Shelf

 I picked up these chippy green vintage kitchen items a short time ago and I wanted to display them somewhere in my current kitchen. My very tiny current kitchen. I asked Eric to make me a shelf to fit on a different wall. But then I got impatient. And I got an idea!
