Dachshund Kitchen Themed Decor

Upon moving into our apartment almost three years ago, I had a sort of vision as to how I wanted to decorate most of the rooms. I knew I wanted a beach theme in the bath room, a Paris/London theme in the bed room, and a Moose/Country theme in the living room. This left me with two rooms I wasn't sure about. the dining room and kitchen. The dining room theme came to me shortly after, Wizard of Oz. The kitchen theme alluded me for a while longer.

While shopping at Dollar General one day I found a new seasonal line of towels and oven mitts that had dog themed things all over them and that's when I knew. My kitchen shall be Dachshund/Dog themed, and so it was from then on!

Below are pictures of all the decor items I have that fit into the Dachshund/Dog theme.

Above my kitchen sink I have no window, so I hung the clock and two fork pictures before I decided on the Dachshund theme. Afterward, I added a wooden box sign (seen better below).

Purchased at T. J, Maxx.

Below the box sign I have a self hung on the wall above the sink where I store a few kitchen items (flower shaker, powdered sugar shaker, oil spritzer, and toothpick dispenser).

Dachshund ring holder Chip (& his dad) got me for my 1st Mother's Day.

On both sides of the clock, fork pictures, and box sign I have three shelves for nick-kacks. All of course are mostly dog themed and seen below.

Top right: box sign #4 & Dachshund garden decor figurine.

All of they box signs read as follows:
     #1 "Kiss your dog daily" - Purchased by me at T. J. Maxx $
     #2 "My kids bark" - Purchased by me at T. J. Maxx $
     #3 "I work hard so my dog can have a better life" - Purchased by me at T. J. Maxx $
     #4 "Wag more bark less" - Purchased by me at T. J. Maxx $
     #5 "All you need is love and a dog" - Received as a Christmas gift
     #6 "Time spent with dogs is never wasted" - Purchased by me at T. J. Maxx $

Salt & Pepper Shakers:
     #1 Purchased a long while ago, from L.T. D. Commodities. (If I remember correctly.)
     #2 Received as a Christmas gift, they were from Target.
     #3 Received as a Christmas gift, bought on Amazon.

The Dachshund garden decor figurine is from Big Lots, $6, in 2015. I did see them again in 2016.

I have built up quite a decent collection of oven-mits and kitchen towels, both holiday themed and everyday.
