Welcome to Part 2
of the scenes from the
Kentucky Derby Party
staging from the House Tour
on Thursday.
These are scenes in the kitchen.
 |
| I loved this kitchen! Love the white cabinets and the brick walls. |
 |
| Jenn staged a derby pie contest. |
 |
| These were the derby pies... on vintage glass cake stands. |
 |
| This little pie took the cake! |
 |
| Brought my shadow box of vintage ribbons for the staging in the kitchen. |
 |
| Chocolate and peanut butter horse head lollipops raced on a bed of wheat grass. |
 |
| Vintage derby collectibles and accessories became the backdrop in the kitchen. |
 |
| We showcased items we typically sell at Blue Cardinal Antiques & Vintage. |
 |
| Next time I will show you what we did in this room! |
We also staged the front entry area.
I took these shots at 9 am
just before the first shuttle bus
of guests arrived. Pardon the
shadows and bright sunlight patches!

| These hat scenes were staged just inside this front door area. |
Tomorrow I will share the
kitchen table area that we set
up for kids with a
Kentucky Derby theme.
Come back and visit again then!

I really liked the shadow box of ribbons! I sure would have loved to be a guest at this party....
Gorgeous home. Love the party theme!
What fun the derby is for you. Last Christmas my husband made horse racing games, maybe we will have to play it in honor.

No one does the 'equestrian look' better than you do!! Love it. Sally
Love your Derby decor! I was born in Louisville, Ky, and my aunt who lived next door in a historic home, always had the best Derby parties. Your post really brought back memories or my aunts court yard done with tables with white clothes, julip cups, and an entry garden of red geraniums. She always had fun details like you have. Thanks for the post and the memories!!!
The win, place, show for the pies is the cutest idea! Love it!!! I cannot wait to see more *hint, hint*
I love your home. I love the derby-esque vignettes.

I am so drooling over this kitchen! I think this is sooo cute to decorate with the horse head lollipops. Love how you used the Derby them for the pie bar. Great work Alison. Hurry up already with the next room and be sure to include the front entry too, please. I need inspiration for my front entry.

The entry and kitchen screams, "Alison was here!" I love the kitchen decor...my fav, the Derby Pie contest...how cute!!...
The hat is beautiful...and I actually love the splashes of sunlight...one of my favorite times of the day..to see the morning rays of sunshine streaming through the house...saying, welcome to another beautiful day!
Alison, this kitchen is fabulous. You and Jenn certainly know how to make a statement. All the vintage games and ribbons are great fun. And oh,my, the pies! Clever idea. Love, love, love the vintage folk art race horses and the cute cookies in the post above. You girls thought of all the details. Wish I could have seen this tour first hand.
