Cottage Chic

Wow, third post for the week!!

Some of you have asked for some more pics of my house, so here goes!

Dining room looking into sun room.

This is my living room here (and yes 3 kids live here)! Toys have been removed and stuffed under all the sofa’s and armoirs in order to have a lovely picture:)

I even asked the kiddo’s to look like they are reading so that you can enjoy the picture………….

can you see what i see?

August 25, 2008

My friend and neighbor Jackie called me earlier today to tell me she was going to have a yard sale the end of the week and would i like to come see what she had.

WELL, OF COURSE!

Jackie has great taste, she actually worked for me on Sundays when i first opened the shop, so she knows how i decorate and how i love to find one of a kind pieces for the shop.

This lovely french mirror was the first thing that caught my eye, so i slowly moved over to it and casually said “how much?”

Jackie said, “go ahead, just take it.”

uuughhh, “o.k.”

I tried not to act like it was THAT GREAT, since really, who wants a piece that is chippy, had layers of paint, and has lovely scroll work under the paint!

So, here is my find for the week, and it sits in my dining room on another frenchy, chippy, layered painted dresser.
