A little peek into my current housekeeping center:

I stock the center with lots of baking tools, containers of baking ingredients, the pretend bread items the children made, and more.

I put a little lamp on the table.  It creates such a special mood.

I love to use the bright red and white gingham print for the playstands and in the window.  I have this sweet table cloth I found at a garage sale that has red needle work for the table.

Play money, menus and ordering pads are the finishing touches.
