Our kitchen is actually one of the darkest rooms in our house. We had designed and ordered the kitchen before we even moved in (we started gutting it out on closing day), so the dark countertops might not have been the best choice looking back. But, this table runner sure brightens it up!
It’s pretty basic, just started cutting pieces all the same width and then added the striped sashing to the sides. The fabrics are mostly Nicey Jane with a few other basic blue polka dots/stripes added in.
I did the back a little less busy with some linen and a few pieces added in, for those days I’m feeling a little more plain.
And of course when I don’t feel like using it in the kitchen anymore, it can also double as a doll quit.
(ah, yeah, no comment on the gigantic wrinkles in these pics, I blame it on a long stay in the dryer)
Yes, I love the bright cheery colors. I also love your cabinets. Our kitchen cabinets are very similar. No wonder I enjoy your blog so much!
Absolutely gorgeous- the perfect spring/summer update. 🙂
That is too cute! What type of batting did you use?
ooooh I love it! Of course, I have a weakness for any kind of quilt…be it table runner or throw-on-the-bed-or-wall quilt! When I first glanced at the post title, I thought it said GUILTY table runner! LOL
It’s super cute! I am a big fan of Nicey Jane…in fact some more just arrived at my door today 🙂
I love this! I’m so bummed that I have a round kitchen table and nowhere to use a table runner. Yours is so nice! Love your centerpiece too 🙂
Too cute! Love the Nicey Jane, I just bought a huge fat quarter pack to make my daughter and I matching Saturday Market Skirts from Sandi Henderson! I love the Nicey Jane prints!
love the pretty fabric!
I think it’s perfect and lovely to be stay there at the dinner table.
No, your kitchen isn’t the darkest, it’s gorgeous now 🙂
It’s very pretty. I am going to be using many of the same fabrics for a quilt soon. It looks nice there…don’t let it get into the hands of your daughters for their dolls or you will never get it back!
