Cottage Bath Roman Shades

Hello friends,
I made some faux roman shades for the tiny cottage bath. It needed a little sprucing up!! I went to joanns fabric, and found some pretty flowery fabric that I thought would be just right!! Pretty, and cheerful.

The walls are painted sherwin-williams rhinestone. It's gray, but depending on the light sometimes It looks blue. 

I think they add a nice pop of color to this space. 

 

Have a great day!!

  

Happy Mother's Day!!

The Bedroom

Hello friends,
Yes, I changed the bedding again!!! My lovely daughter redecorated her guest bedroom, and gave me the duvet, and everything that goes with It. That really opened up a can of worms!! I had no Intension of changing anything In my bedroom. The more I looked at the beautiful bedding there was no stopping me. Her style has changed, and she wanted something different In her guest bedroom. Lucky me!!!

    I do love It, but I have to say I had to put on my exercise equipment
    to get the darn comfortor In. What a work out!!!! I don't want to do that
    again any... time... soon!

    But, when It was all done It was worth It! I love the colors.
 

    The dust ruffle was really easy to put on It's attached with velcro.

 

    Change the bedding!! Have to change the lamps!! I bought the pair of   
    capodimonte lamps at an estate sale years ago. I'm loving all the color.

   

                                   Have a great day!!

Kitchen Shutters

Hello friends,
I've been working on another project for the kitchen. We had a town wide garage sale last weekend. It's great you can just park your car and walk from house to house. I found an old pair of shutters. Did I ever tell you how much I love old shutters!! I think they add a lot of charm to any space. I was so happy to have some nice days to take them outside and spray them. I wasn't up for painting them by hand.

I sprayed the shutters heirloom white. Some sanding and mocha glaze. 
Not too much but just enough to give them a little aged look.

    Now I had to figure out what kind of vignette I wanted to put together.
   
 

    I think this fits just right In the kitchen. The heart of the home!!!
 

    I love these herb plates!! I had to add them.
 

    They sure needed some work!! What would I do without my spray
    paint:))) 

    I'm just pulling In my street!!! I had to take a picture of all the beautiful
    pear trees In full bloom.
 


                                                Have a great day!!

I Made Another Topiary

  Hello friends,
  Yep, I made another topiary!! For some reason I love to make topiaries.
  Burned fingers and all!! I love just sitting, and putting It together. This
  time I made a big bold one. I found the perfect spot for It In the kitchen
  but, you never know where It will end up. 

    I bought the old sap bucket at a yard sale.

 

    It was red, and I painted It chateau grey. Then I gave It a good sanding

    to get some of the red to show through. A little glaze too!

 

    I bought the large willow ball at michaels, and then hot glued the    

    Ivy on.

    I filled the old sap bucket with dirt, and added some moss on top. I  

    wanted a little Ivy streaming down.

 

    A little peek In the hutch!!! I mixed things up with white Ironstone,

    and milk glass.

                                       Have a great day!!

Living Room Centerpiece

Hello friends,
I'm tweaking the living room a little. I've been adding some different pictures, and just trying to figure what I want to add, and what I want to take away. You know how that goes!! I made a pretty centerpiece for the coffee table. I think It's so pretty, and romantic!! I'll show you how I put It together.

    You can see the candles and shells just peeking out. I'm not going to

    lite the candles. If you want to try this you can use flameless candles.

  

    I started with my pedestal bowl.

 

    I put paper towels on the bottom. I'm using my old molds to give the

    candles height.

    I'm using two tall candles and two smaller candles.

  

    I added shells to fill In all around.

    Then I just started filling In with roses. The shells hide the flower

    stems. That's It!!! I think It makes for a pretty and romantic

    centerpiece.

  

                                        Have a great day!
