**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...

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!*!*!
