The pizza oven is all decked out for snow, snow, snow!
We have had a lot of snow this year.
This is a view of Mount Timpanogos from my backyard,
and Squaw Peak, also from my back yard. Between the two
mountains runs Provo Canyon.
Last year up the canyon at Sundance Ski Resort,
the family was practically skiing on rocks. This
year we have a record base of snow. But it is perfect
because we have lots of snow up in the mountains,
but it has melted off the streets and sidewalks -
pretty typical Utah winter.
When we redecorated our kitchen and painted
all of the cabinets white this fall, we also painted
the pizza oven. The white backdrop was perfect for
a wintery white decor theme.
The large rustic mantel and counter give me
lots of fun space for decorating year round.
The oven is a wood burning one from Mugnaini,
made and imported from Italy, but distributed
from California. We use it almost weekly.
I will have to do another post some day
about our cooking class in Italy sponsored
by Mugnaini Ovens.
Here is a peek at it before in cream. The white
just brightens up the kitchen so much, but we
kept the dark rustic elements.
I found this fun flour sifter at
Home Goods this year. Now, let me get it straight
for you, I like snow from a distance - if I am
safe inside and warm - haha! And living in a desert
state, we need the snow in the mountains for
our water supply all year, but you know me, I
am a summer girl.
Snowflakes, silver balls and crystals hang from a
snowy white garland.
I also picked up two darling snow girls this year
from Home Goods, so there is one on each side.
This was my prize from a White Elephant Contest this
year, which we adore because hubby has a saying
he started when the kids were little, "Fat pigs love to eat!",
and we do! So we have several pigs in our kitchen decor.
There are always a few nutcrackers that
stay around the house past and since
Minnie as Leia was all in white, she got
to join the wintery decor because of his saying.
This snowy Santa also is up on the mantel.
This huge tin serving tray is the centerpiece
of the pizza oven decor and it has been up since
we redecorated. I can't wait to use it for some kind
of cheese, meat, chocolate or dessert board.
Thanks for stopping by to visit! We love having you.
