Anyways to sum up the kitchen, it is white and Aujour Pear (same golden color I used in my living room)
I found antique plates (mainly floral) at thrift stores, yard sales and antique stores...the prices ranged from $1.99-$6...then bought plate hangers at the local craft store ($1.59 each) I just placed them randomly on the only wall I have for decorating in my kitchen; along with a white floral shelf I got at Ross for $9.99. I bought 3 random tea cups for the shelf and under that are my wine racks which were black and I spray painted them gold!
I accented everything with pink and white doilies that I found at antique stores!
For the place settings---I just have a bar/counter so I used charger platters from Ross that are Gold snakeskin texture ($2.99 each) and 2 antique bowls I got at a thrift store, in between them are pink and white doilies.
My "centerpiece" was actually a cheese tray and then the bottom is a candle holder---the cheese tray was brown wood (they normally come with the glass top)---the candle holder was black---my mom painted them pink and glued them together---now it's a mini cake dish or cupcake dish! Or you can just put your faux pearl necklaces in it for an extra shabby chic look!
Finally I have four bar stools I found at a dumpster...they were silver and had ugly fabric on the seats...I will post a video on how to recover the seats---All I did for the silver part of the bar stools was spray paint it gold!
When spray painting metal or tin...sand it first (just a little) then spray with primer, let dry, then spray paint and it will stay! :-)
