Reminiscent of Grandmother's kitchen, Cherry Jubilee takes the warmth, charm and "retro" appeal of this classic kitchen motif and combines the colors and styling of today to create this fun and functional collection. Ceramics are dishwasher and microwave safe.
Kitchen themes range from apples to zinnias, and choosing a theme is as easy as
deciding on favorite colors and designs. The kitchen really is the heart of the
home, and choosing the right theme in a kitchen is as important as choosing the
right carpeting for the family room. A theme is an investment, and that type of
investment should reflect personal preference and style, and a cherry theme is a
fantastic choice. It is not a theme that is overly done, and it is not simply a
fad. A cherry theme creates a charming, well decorated, and uniquely inviting
kitchen.
If you would enjoy decorating a kitchen with a cherry theme, the following
decorating ideas will help you decide where to begin. There is nothing quite
like a steaming fruit pie sitting on the kitchen counter, and a kitchen with a
cherry theme will evoke memories of visiting grandma and enjoying a slice of
cherry pie and ice cold milk on a warm summer day. It is a theme that will
create pleasant memories of days gone by while creating new ones. Give these
ideas a try, and transform you kitchen into a charming cherry-themed kitchen
that is sure to impress.
Patterned Hand Towels
Less is more when decorating in any theme, and buying anything and everything in
a theme of choice is not the way to go. Decorating with too many themed items
cheapens the entire look of the room. Instead of buying and displaying anything
with cherries, decide on several well chosen items beginning with
cherry-patterned hand towels. The towels will make a charming and impressive
display when draped over the handle of the oven or on a decorative kitchen towel
rack.
Create a Unique Stenciled Border
Instead of buying ready-made borders that can cost a small fortune, consider
decorating a cherry-themed kitchen with something unique, hand-painted, and
highly creative. Trace the outline of the cherries found on cherry-patterned
hand towels or any other cherry-themed item, and create a stencil with a piece
of heavy cardstock and a small utility knife. Using latex craft paint, create a
border around the kitchen ceiling that will be far more stylish and unique than
borders found in stores. Practice sponge painting the stenciled cherries on a
sheet of cardstock before trying it on walls. Before long you will find just the
right shades of paint to complete this fun and easy kitchen decorating project.
Decorating with Scented Candles
A kitchen with a cherry theme would not be complete without a cherry-scented
candle. Burning a cherry-scented candle will add delightful fragrance to the
kitchen and connecting areas of the home while adding vivid color and appeal to
the room. A high-quality cherry-scented jar candle, or a candle that looks just
like a fresh-baked cherry pie are both excellent choices. Once the wick in a jar
candle is burned down, do not throw it away. Place it on the stove between the
rows of burners. When the wax becomes warm it will still fill the room with the
delightful scent of freshly baked pie.
Mini Plates with Three-Dimensional Designs
Small plates embellished with three-dimensional cherry designs are ideal for
decorating a kitchen with a cherry theme. The plates can be displayed on an
attractive plate rack to create a focal point on a wall, or they can be
displayed in a narrow space using plate hangers. However you choose to display
plates embellished with three-dimensional cherries, they will add vibrant color
and rich design to the room.
A Wall Wine Rack with Cherry Branches
A wine rack is ideal for decorating in a kitchen with a cherry theme, and for a
really unique and impressive wall display choose a wall wine rack complete with
beautifully crafted metal cherry branches and fruit. The branches will
gracefully hold the bottles, and even if you do not drink wine, they can hold
sparkling juice or colored water for a lovely display that is sure to gain many
compliments.
