Let me tell you...

I VaMpeD-Over This Table for years at Debby Martinez's House in Ohio!!!  FINALLY, the day came, some years back - and Debby S*O*L*D IT TO ME!!!  I LoVe Tables like this next-to-the-bed!!!

Time to Get WraPPing Gifts!*!*!

My FaVoRiTe Part!*!*!

Guest Bedroom RE-DO... Work-In-Progress!*!*!

 I'm not anywhere "near-done" - but I just had to share some P*O*S*S*I*B*I*L*I*T*Y Pics with you... It ALL STARTED in January - when I picked up a Rusty-Arched Fence-Like piece of SaLVaGe from Jan of *Gracie's Cottage*...  Immediately my mind went - HEADBOARD!?!?!


•I LoVe W*H*I*T*E...
•I LoVe O*R*A*N*G*E...
•I LoVe C*H*I*P*P*Y Furniture...
•I LoVe  Things With P*A*T*I*N*A...
•AND Just Recently - am acquiring a taste for "mixing-in"  just a bit of "Darker" -woods/texture...

This table is a "Recent Find" - last weekend to be exact - 

at Grayslake, from Rhubarb Reign...

Sandy & Joe bought this - WITH ME IN MIND!*!*! 

SHaBBy-Style ViNtaGe TABLE  I love it's form & patina... 

With just about everything in the room - 

pulled away from the walls as I work, -

  BY ACCIDENT - I set the TABLE in the corner...  OMG!!! - I LoVe when stuff like this happens!!!  For the last 7 years I've had a large chippy white garden chair there...  

I knew the area now needed a light fixture - 

Sooooo I pulled this ViNtaGe Tole Chandelier from my loft upstairs...

Can't wait to get it hung!*!*!  What a GREAT Pop-Of-Orange...

 Lots of time-worn "Paint Crazing" & layers of beige/grey/white poking through...

 The ViNtaGe GaRden Chair was also in my office loft...

Soooo functional here...

Although there's some slight evidence of  "power tool sanding" -

I still LoVe It - It's a FaB Piece!!!

I found these AwEsOMe 

"Bo-Ho Style" Shams at Anthropologie...

I like using *All-White* Bed Linens,  - 

just changing out Shams Seasonally - 

yielding a QUICK/INEXPENSIVE Freshened Look...

I think these will look FaB against the **Rusty Headboard** -

really bringing it together!!!

 What a FaB Sweet Adornment!*!*!

Purchased from "Paper Patty" - at Kane last month...

 Remember this "Killer-Piece" 

- that left me weak-in-the-knees...

I think it's going to work out perfectly, on the wall, next to the bed, possibly with this chandelier...

 I have a Stash of Chandeliers to pick from - if  I need more B*L*I*N*G impact!!!

I'm considering displaying these Old Textured Wicker Suitcases

on Top of the Hutch that houses my White Matte Pottery...

 I'm currently painting slats of wood to back

 this Rusty Architectural Fragment/Headboard...   

 These Birdie cut-outs are going to get a slathering of rough plaster & paint...

Then added to the headboard area...

These are ALL P*O*S*S*I*B*I*L*I*T*I*E*S...

The "POP-OF-ORANGE,  HINT OF RUST, WICKER SUITCASES" - 

 along with *ALL-THE-WHITE*...

Have a FaB Weekend!*!*!

GoRgeOus Weather, here in the MidWest!*!*!

I'll have to admit ~ I'M EXHAUSTED!!! - THREE "SHaBBy Shows" in a row along with everything else going on in my life right now ~ has me putting my feet up TODAY!!!  HOWEVER, it's "full-speed-ahead" ~ Tomorrow, as I head out early to shop the Kane County Flea Market in Illinois!!!  I'll be ON-THE-HUNT for some last minute "SHaBBies" to add to my already FaB Stash that's going to the NORTHWIND PERENNIAL FARM ANTIQUE GARDEN SHOW - June 10th & 11th, in Burlington Wisconsin - just minutes from Lake Geneva...  In the meantime, here's some "eye-candy bling"...

OMG!!!  Just wait till you SEE this Over-The-Top G*O*R*G*E*O*U*S ~ "SpArKLinG Beauty that's been hinding in a basement!!! 

 Is this one huge hunk of "eye-candy-bling" or what!?!?!  Believe it or not, but this was a BIRTHDAY GIFT to me - from a very very very "Special Friend"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  OMG!*!*!   I am soooo overwhelmed...  

 This Drop-Dead-GoRgeOuS Beauty has been a well hidden - Top Secret Find ~ Hanging in her BASEMENT for years!!!!!!  ~ LoVe the contrast of this Sparkling Shabby Bling against the Chippy Anthropologie-Like Walls!!!

LoVe ALL the delicate details!!!  

 I'm looking forward to having it hung in my Jewelry Nook!*!*!

**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!** Vists Gina's BeSt-Ever SHaBBy Cottage House in Nevada!*!*!

I've  lived a good part of my life "Out-West"... & Boulder City, Nevada, was one of those places...  With family and friends still living in Boulder City, I try to visit this quaint historic town as often as possible...  ONE of the BeSt spontaneous SURPRISES of this past Weekend was a Tour of GINA PECK'S Home in Boulder City!*!*! 

FOR YEARS I've walked past this house and wondered "who lived there"... & "what it might look like inside"...  Just imagine how wonderful this SHaBBy-Style Cottage looks when the bare winter branches start filling-in with Springtime blossoms!!!  At one time I remember Gina's "double front doors" being painted a deep aqua blue...    

There's nothing more inviting than ~ glistening chandeliers hanging OUTSIDE, and Gina most certainly has that along with her chippy garden chairs, tables, statues, crates, & seltzer bottles... 

CLICK ON PICS TO ENLARGE...

My friend Kathy, who lives just a few doors down from Gina, made this "EXTRA-SPECIAL" SHaBBy House Tour, possible!!!  THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH KATHY!*!*!   It was just "jaw-dropping" when I got a glimpse of what AmaZiNg SHaBBies were awaiting inside!*!*! 

OMG!*!*!  TOTAL SHaBBy-WHiTe Out!*!*!

  Definitely ENLARGE THIS PHOTO!!!  Is this room to die for or what!!!  A girl after my own heart!!!  Tons of Sparkling lit Chandeliers... Old Mirrors with silver-loss patina... Old Doors & Windows...  EVERYTHING in creamy shades of white!!!   This was my "most-favorite" area...  I just loved the salvaged doors/windows in the background and how Gina painted only this background area a very light green...  

The Window, Chandelier and Sconce were a PeRfeCt Scale for the space...  Upon a closer look, I loved how Gina hung smaller-sized vintage mirrors BEHIND THE LARGE WINDOW!!!  It gave the area a unique look...   Most of Gina's Shabbies have a natural time-worn chippy white paint patina ...  The ViNtaGe items that were "shabby-painted" had great form & blended exceptionally well...

 The Chandeliers hanging against the the old exposed brick in the kitchen area, were just "breath-taking"!*!*!  All these different textures worked sooooo well together!!!  She had a mix of ViNtaGe chandeliers - white and original darker brass with a patina...

Gina's use of VARIOUS SHADES-OF-WHITE, TEXTURES, SPARKLING CHANDELIERS, MIRRORS, ARCHITECTURAL SALVAGE, Along with her EXCEPTIONAL EYE FOR VINTAGE FINDS & DESIGN - make for The BeSt-Ever Look!!! 

  I am soooo inspired!!!  

 Gina shops the ROSE BOWL, & VENTURA FLEA MARKETS in California, for a good number of her SHaBBies!!!  As I guessed, it's still hard to find an abundance of vintage shabby finds in this area of the country...

 

I was thrilled to get a tour of her cottage home & and let me tell you ~ there are a ton more pics I could have taken!!!  Maybe next time????  I'd say this is definitely Magazine EYE-CANDY Material!!!  Gina's house reflects her sparkling, friendly personality as well...  I soooo enjoyed the tour & chit-chat!!!

Thanks Sooooo much for sharing!*!*!

enjoy M*O*R*E  WHITE WEDNESDAY PICS!!!
