Fun Summer Vignette

I made a fun summer vignette in my kitchen to display some vacation pictures.

I wanted to add some color to my kitchen counter for summer. I love red and aqua so that is what I chose to work with.

The first thing I did was painted a plain wooden frame aqua so that I could add some fun vacation pictures to it.

The plain wooden frame came from Hobby Lobby. I used Indian Turquoise paint and then added some screws and wire to the back of the frame so I could add pictures. 

I used small clothes pins and some patterned paper to embellish the pictures.

I made these fun pinwheels and glued them onto a skewer. I placed them in a blue tinted mason jar from World Market. I added some curled scrapbook paper to help hold the skewers in the jar. 

The paper collection that I used for the frame and pinwheels is called I Heart Summer by Simple Stories. 

I bought this red clock from a Cracker Barrel while we were on vacation in Georgia. 

I added some faux candles to the top. They are on a timer and come on in the evening. It looks very pretty in my kitchen. 

This was a fun and easy project. I love looking at our vacation pictures while working in the kitchen.

Thank you for looking!

See you on the next project.
