The sweet spot

This is the shelf above my stove at home. It started simply. I had Wayne Thiebaud's Cakes there when I first moved in...just to jazz it up a bit. I figured I would put a microwave there one day (like the previous owners). But then Laura painted one of her cupcake paintings...and I started to acquire all these cupcake related items and well, the microwave is now on the counter and I have one of my favorite spots to look at in the whole house :)

  2. Thanks KJ! The hens were a b-day gift from Laura a couple years ago (I have the cutest little salt and pepper shakers to match!) I have to admit, this shelf just makes me happy :)

  4. I hope you do!! I love little nooks like this in a home...where you have a mix of gifts and purchases and things that you love. I suppose that's what makes a home...a home.
