Kitchen Shelf

For some reason I just can't get the kitchen desk looking  right.

I am on my third display in about a year.
I used this little metal shelf for a while.
I liked this display but I changed it when I wanted more white.

When I painted the bathroom upstairs, I spray painted this cubbie and put it on the desk.
It was okay but not great. I couldn't center it because of the electric outlet and the phone jack.
I thought I would like it when I painted the desk.

Nope.

I ripped the guts out of the phone jack and covered it with a plate.

It's better but I still didn't love it.

 I found these shelf brackets upstairs in one of the closets.

 They were in Rebekah's room when she was little.

 I grabbed a piece of wood from the garage to make a shelf.   

I love my junk find canister and cow.
I thought I would love the tole tray, but it still doesn't look right.

I'm still tweaking the display because I am frustrated by the placement of that stupid outlet. 
I think the electricians were without a foreman the day this house was wired because the placement of some of outlets and fixtures is so wrong. 

I got a little window at Old Home Supply in Ft. Worth.
Read about it here.
I have wanted a window for a while but I didn't need a huge, heavy one.
This little darling is perfect. 
I can center it and cover up the outlet.:)

I can still plug in the lamp.

The decorating angels are singing!
