Tiered stand ~

With the arrival of Spring I thought it was time to make a few decorative changes in the kitchen.
~~~~~~~~~
 I decided to start by putting up one of my tiered stands. This stand is huge, if I would have known how large it really was I probable wouldn't have purchased it. The good news it very easily comes apart for storage...each tier fitting within the other.


I took it out, screwed it together and then...hmmm, what to put in it. I have pinned so many ideas for tiered stands that I should be an expert, but like with so many other things, I'm not. 

Then I remembered an adorable vintage tea set, a gift one Christmas from my brother, currently languishing in a closet; time to get it out and enjoy it.

I would put together a tea station. Why not, I love tea and brew a pot every morning, it would be nice to have everything in one central place.


It was fun to gather it all: different teas, napkins, accessories and two charming books on tea. The books given to me by very nice people...thank you again Ralph and Barbara, and you too Jerry. I dressed it up a with some lace and potted herbs.


Now I can pick a selection of tea, brew a pot, and read about it all at the same time! And, it looks rather nice.


I love an easy solution to a problem and if you really get stymied, sitting down with a cup of tea always helps.

Thank you for visiting.

  3. You've styled the stand very prettily.
    I have always found that knotty problems unravel when tea is involved.

  8. Your tiered stand is perfect for teatime! I like what you did - it's a great idea. I wish I had more counter space in my little kitchen so I could do something similar. All because I'd love a reason to buy another tiered stand!
