Chilled Out

We have reserved the name Gourmet Giggles and More to include things that aren't kitchen or kid related.  Sometimes I think about taking it off here and then we go and make something cute like grow boxes, cake plates or this little beauty.  Meet Chilled Out.  She is meant for the mommies that shop with us!  It is made from an old Sears Roebuck sewing table.  It was one of those pieces that was picked up at our favorite thrift store in town - shout out to the Methodist Bargain Box - that we weren't sure what it would be.  Lots of brainstorming and a 3 dollar sink later, here she is!  What do you think?  It has become apparent that both members of the Gourmet Giggles team want one, so now we are in the market for another sewing table :-).

 



 


What piece would be complete without a spoon?  It doubles as the towel rack!

Be You Tea Full

We at Gourmet Giggles truly believe beauty shines from within.  Who else would find a ratty old dresser at a yard sale for $10 or a poor night stand laying on the side of the road, abandoned, and think, "This is the best find EVER!"?  We love things and people that are beautiful in ways others don't realize - until we get our hands on them that is.  Then, their beauty radiates all the way to space!  That being said, we think every little girl should know she is beautiful INSIDE and out and why not let her see it for herself while sitting at this adorable kids vanity.  Meet - Be You Tea Full.  She is indeed beautiful!  What do you think?

 
Don't mind Miss P's disheveled appearance - she just woke up from a sweaty car nap



We fell in love with the overlapping circles

You really have to see this fabric in person.  It also contains overlapping geometric shapes - they were made for one another!

All Dressed Up

I think I say this every time.  This may be one of my all time favorite Gourmet Giggles creations!  Ok, I say that every time, but each piece is so unique that it really is hard to choose.  Check out All Dressed Up.  She is waiting for your kids to hang up their favorite dress up dresses.  She even has storage for all their purses and shoes - what more could a girl want?!
 



I just LOVE the fabric covered knobs

Even the sides of the drawer scream - I'm pretty!

Check out all that storage!  The drawer is amazingly deep.

Standard spoon - even on the wardrobe.  What can we say, it has become our signature :-)

 And again, nosy Miss Piper gives it her stamp of approval

I left the grooves along the side in case this piece hangs around and someone wants to lay some shelves in there later.  I think it would be a super cute shelving unit as little girl grows.

Gourmet Dream

Another auction item is this absolutely adorable red kitchen.  The only requirements were that it be red and gender neutral.  We love found pieces of furniture and this gem is no exception! 


 Love the color combination

Our resident spoon smasher chose a fork for this piece ;-)

Our muscles were put to the test with that oven rack!


Storage area

Adorable knob


My grandma sent these to me recently - this project speaks to everyone in some way!


It's Piper tested and approved

Chalk and cork boards

Imagination Station

 The white board/paper creation side - note the metal strip down each side for magnets, the trays to contain your drawing utensils or paint, the cork and the paper roll.

One of the Gourmet Giggle team members was asked to help with two auction items for Plew Elementary's art auction.  The first item she came up with is this adorable art easel.  Don't you just love it?  I am always so amazed by her creativity.  Can you guess what it used to be?

The chalkboard

We named her Imagination Station

Little miss P was mighty curious!

The ruler accents really make the chalk board "measure up"
