FEATHERING OUR COTTAGE NEST....

WELCOME...come see what I have been up to.

All birdies are indeed welcome...

I am having fun with the Vintage look, adding it here

and there. Little spots of vintage color and items.

I have always loved these colors, it's been fun

to add it into this cottage home.

This little stove sits inside the front door, I didn't

like it at first but am getting used to it. I think I

want to turn it diagonally and add a mantle over 

the top of it all.

It is kind of cute.

So....TA DA! Here is the couch and love seat that I snagged

for only $350.00, total. I bought colored pillows separately.

What do you think? Good buy? (I am still smiling!)

Mr. Bo likes them...They have that slipcover look but they

are not just slipcovers. I love the design and look of them.

They are poly/silk, when I found them, they looked really

good, I checked them all over and they are in perfect shape.

They are just the "cottage look" that I was so hoping to find. I

 went to a furniture store, comparing prices etc. the guy there told

me to not let these get sold before I got to them. I made a beeline

for the thrift store and bought them on the spot!

I added this picture into the room...I am so loving these colors!

I also found this awesome coffee table to go with them.

I love the quality of it, it is a beautiful antique, heavy, detailed

wood with a marble top that has veins of creams and caramels 

running through it. It is so lovely and was only $90.00.

I found the pillows at TJ Maxx and I love them too!

I wanted to find a rug for under the coffee table, this one

was just the right size for this room and I can wash and dry it!

I LOVE the softness of it under my toes!

Then...I found this old blue door upstairs in the attic....

Brought it down and stood it up in the corner...

Tied a white ribbon in the empty door knob hole...

Stood back....I liked it, a lot!

I am so loving everything about this front room, how the sun

comes in the lace drapes and fills the room with warmth and

light every morning. I love to cuddle up in here and read, or nap!

I set these little pretties in the coffee table...

And tucked this little angel under glass. I 

found her at a thrift store too, love it.

I added this new fluffy shower curtain, 

and I am loving it too.

Placed these little angels in that same bathroom.

I just love angels...

as you can see.

Our sweet son in Michael, came and added some

  bead board to the kitchen. He worked hard each night after

he had worked all day. 

One of these days, I will have my bar stools and also

our dining room table here, but for now, until that house

sells, we will be using this.

I really love the bead board so much!

Here you can see the width of the walls in this house.

the front of the house was built in 1937 and the back,

the kitchen area and master bed room in 1997.

Bead board really made a nice change.

One of these days, I will have our 4 poster bed

here too, that will look nice.

I like the height of the bead board too, just perfect!

I bought a little old channie for the dining room area, I 

think it fits the age of the house pretty well It was only

$30.00 and the nice man even came and hung it for me!

I added a little bit of bling...it's pretty day or night.

Then I bought this one for our master bedroom...love it!

It was not from a thrift store, but the same nice man hung this

one for me too!

I think it will look nice with our 4 poster bed,

when it gets here.

Well, that is a bit of what I have been up too...

hope you like it too.
