Home Decor, Ode to the Chef
My kitchen is really my son’s domain…
By day he’s a residential contractor,
but nights and weekends he is all about cooking
My art studio is in an space just off the kitchen
and the top of my desk is a favorite spot for a seasonal or themed display
I recently created a kitchen themed tiered tray with chickens
vegetables, pigs, plates, and a chef
While filling the tray and arranging the vignette,
I decided to create an “Ode to the Chef” with a special Chef’s buffet
I got out a black and white checked runner
and proceeded to top it with all kinds of “chefy” and kitchen things
Chef MacPig anchors one end
with a chef beer glass and a painted tomato canister
There’s a Courtly Check butter keeper and compote filled with fruit,
a ribbon tied pail holding a cabbage and a set of measuring scoops
The tiered tray is in the center of this Chef’s Buffet
Piggies, veggies and chicks all on display
A chef with checked pants hangs from a nail
It’s part of the chick’s foot that’s on the top pail
A pig holds napkins handy just to the right
and there’s a stack of small plates when you’re ready for a bite
A chef is delivering dinner atop the radish plate,
the pasta looks so good, I can hardly wait!
And another chef is guarding prized cookbooks
Can a kitchen have too many cooks?
What would we ever do without great chefs…
of one thing I’m certain, I am truly blessed!

Jenna, this is such a fun post. How wonderful that you have a resident chef. With all the wonderful food from your kitchen, I am afraid I would eat way too much. I love your Courtly Check and all of the cute chefs. Have a wonderful and sunny Sunday!
I am so blessed Pam, we have a lot of fun, and it helps us both out as we tag team meals and shopping.
It looks fantastic Jenna!
Thank you Martha!
Ha, love your little bottle brush pig Jenna! Happy Sunday-enjoy:@)
Thanks Lynn, I developed a huge love of pigs several years ago, I can’t resist them!
This is the #1 Best Ever Chicken-Vegetable-Pig-Chef kitchen I’ve ever seen! How fun. You and your son make a great team.
Oh thank you Leslie Anne, we do have a lot of fun, never a dull moment around here 🙂
Love this! So whimsical and cheerful, especially Chef MacPig and the other chefs!
Thanks Dorothy, I couldn’t help myself, I had fun playing!
Super cute! But i bet your chef came home and said, ‘ok, mom, now let’s clear the deck so I can cook!’
haha, you’re close, I made sure I had it whisked away before he got home, but I can’t wait to set it up for when we have family or guests!
Jenna, I love this cute kitchen display! That pig chef is adorable, and all of your MC courtly check pieces look so pretty in your vignette. I hope you have a most beautiful week ahead! Take care!
Thank you Shannon, it was total fun putting this together!
A visual display to keep everyone smiling–so fun!
Thanks Linda, I didn’t realize I had so many chef things until I started putting this together, I can’t wait to set up another buffet with this theme when I can have guests over!
This is just darling, Jenna! So much cute I don’t know where to look or which I love the most but it might have to do with that chef’s books piece! I think HH Jr. must be a Renaissance man — how wonderful for you and his family too!
Thanks Jeanie, it was such fun! My son is multi-talented, can fix anything and is super creative, I am so lucky to share a house with him and his boys.
So cute Jenna! I know you love that HHjr plays chef by night and weekends 🙂
Thank you Mary, I am so spoiled…
Yes, you are so blessed to have your resident chef, Jenna. I loved how you honored him with this post. He is blessed to have you as his mom. 🥰
Awww, thank you Kitty, we have a lot of fun!
Sorry this is so late! Thank you for sharing at #OverTheMoon. Pinned and shared. Have a lovely week. I hope to see you at next week’s party too! Please stay safe and healthy. Come party with us at Over The Moon! Catapult your content Over The Moon! @marilyn_lesniak @EclecticRedBarn
I like the chefs vignette and the snooty waiter’s table. And I wouldn’t mind a home chef!
Thanks for adding your posts to the Friday with Friends link party.
Thanks Rachelle!
