Garden Art

 Hello my darling precious friends! 
Well, this week I have been out in my garden! 
In my backyard I have many rocks and cedar trees, so I have to get very creative with everything. 
I had a sweet lady give me several pots of hostas so I decided to create some little shade gardens.
I added rose plate garden art to mark the spot of my new creations.
My sweet little fairies helped me create this cute garden sign...
"God rest your love upon this garden"
 I nailed an old shabby post to the tree and topped it with this pretty rose plate hung from a plate hanger attached to the post.
 I am hoping the hostas do well in their new garden home and they don't get eaten by the deer.
God bless you my sweet friends and have a beautiful week!

Shabby Chic Rose Garden

 Hello friends!
I am so excited to see all the flowers blooming in my garden!
This is my little back kitchen porch where I planted a hot pink climbing rose and it is just going crazy getting so big and full!
I love it!
 I added the white painted wheelbarrow that I need to plat something super pretty in! 
I have not decided what I should try, it is not very deep...
Below, is my vintage bike in the front yard.
Around it I have purple blooming irises, silver leaf and some pretty tiger lillies that will be blooming a bit later.
 I have also had tons of luck with this hot pink knockout rose!
Love the low maintenance and tons of blooms it produces!
 Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a beautiful blessed day!

Shabby Chic Bedroom

 Hello my darlings! This week I am sharing pictures of my Shabby Chic bedroom!
I absolutely love my four poster bed!
For the top I used a dust ruffle I found at a tag sale for $1
LOVE a bargain!


 A beautiful quote I found this week...
" When I look at my life through the lens of gratitude, all my experiences take on a rosy glow."
~Thomas Kincade


Have a gorgeous weekend!
Today is sunny and 80 degrees so I will be out in my garden with my kids, nieces and nephew!

Fairy Princess Garden Tea Party

 Hello my sweet and beautiful friends!
Over the Easter Holiday I was blessed with some very special Fairy Princess's who visited me!
I created a garden tea party for them with pretty cakes and tea!
 The Fairy Princess's wore tea party dresses designed by Janay's Tutu Fab, Marie Antoinette jeweled party hats, Shabbydazzle fairy wings and magical fluffy tutu wands!
 Tea was served and in high style they ate cake and played in sparkles!
 Such precious dolls and quite a magical time to be had for all!

After all the magical fairy fun they became very tired and needed a rest!
Thank you for stopping by and having tea with our super sweet magical Fairy Princess's!
Find all the hats, wands and wings in my Etsy Shoppe.

Photo Shoot for Cinemagic Magazine

Hello my darlings!
Several months ago I was contacted by
 Beth Roose from Cinamagic Magazine 
asking me to host a photo shoot in my home featuring my creations,models,dress designer,professional photographer, hair and makeup! 
I must tell you that I was beyond thrilled to be blessed with such an exciting opportunity!
I decided to create a Princess Fairytale Tea Party Theme.
I went over the top creating Shabbydazzle party hats, flower crowns, hair pieces and romantic decor to really make things Oohhh la la fancy!
( I snapped this picture with my little camera, I cannot wait to see the finished product!)
All of our little Fairy Princess models were so beautiful.
What a blessing to meet the girls and their sweet mothers, some driving as far as eleven hours to be here!
  I want to share with you the most amazing team of people who helped me put it all together!
Gabby with GKR Photography 
was the photographer and did an outstanding job shooting the photos and worked tirelessly to capture the perfect picture.
Gabby's creative vision and attention to detail is fantastic and I am over the moon excited to see the finished product!
Gabby currently attends the Art Institute in Denver, Colorado and is majoring in photography.

Janay, with Janay's Tutu Fab  
designed the most beautiful dresses to go along with our theme and the soft pink and whites I use in all of my creations. 
 Janay is a children's dress designer that is not only talented but absolutely precious to work with!

Sara Sereika our hair stylist, is an experienced hair artist from California. 
Sara has a fantastic eye for taking my vision and creating exactly the perfect romantic hair styles for our little Princess fairies. I was above and beyond pleased with her work!

Amanda Plaster was our sweet and talented makeup artist.
She created the perfect soft angelic makeup look for each girl.
 Portraying child like innocence while highlighting their sweet faces.
 Amanda was such an amazing blessing to work with!

My precious friend Lorena with Shabbysweets is my go to girl for staging!
She is my absolute best Shabby girlfriend and goes above and beyond to help me pull my home and my head together!
She keeps me calm and lets me bounce a million ideas off of her, obsessively calling her for opinions on every detail!
Lorena helped me create the Fairytale Princess Marie Antoinette tea party table scape.
Gotta love a Shabby bestie!


MOST IMPORTANT, my dear HUSBAND,
 I could not have done this without the love and support of him.
He lets me Shabbydazzle our home and helps me paint and fix everything!
He is so easy going and supportive of all of my very sparkly projects!

 A HUGE thank you and hug to 
Beth Roose with Cinemagic Magazine 
for believing in me and my Shabbydazzle sparkles!
It is a dream come true to have such a fabulous opportunity!
 I cannot wait to see the JUNE issue of Cinemagic Magazine!!!

Shabby Chic pink laundry room

Hello my darlings!
This week I am sharing some pictures of my little pink laundry room!
Well, actually, it is more like a laundry closet!

 I do alot of laundry every day for my family, so I decided to make it fun and pretty!
Might as well make a daily chore fabulous!
If my husband was in charge of the laundry I would man cave it up, but since I am the one in here everyday, it needs to be pretty soothing pastels.
Making my laundry room pretty was actually easy!
A can of paint, tag sale finds and some creativity transformed it into a fun girly space.
My hubby created a clever laundry hamper by transforming a night stand.
Here is the blog post on how to do up cycle a night stand into a laundry hamper
I hope you loved my little Shabby Chic pink laundry room!

A huge thank you to my darling friend Sheri with Sheri Holloway Photography for the gorgeous pictures of my laundry room!

I have a photo shoot this weekend for Cinemagic magazine!
We will be doing a Marie Antoinette inspired tea party!
Stay tuned for pictures.

This week I am partying with

Big sparkling hugs and blessings,

Shabby Chic Dining Room

 Hello my sweet and beautiful friends!
This week I am sharing more photos from my Casa Romantica Shabby Chic photo shoot!
These are from my dining room.
My darling friend Sherry did such a fabulous job capturing it all!

 I love having fresh roses to play with on my table!
If I could afford it, I would have them in my home in every room all the time!

 My little vintage secretary that I drug home from a tag sale and painted up white!
It was missing the glass on the doors, so I decided to use old curtain lace.
 I am such a nutt for pretty vintage dishes...
 Yummy Shabbydazzle birdhouse.
 Loving Spring time with all the darling pastel Easter candies!
Who can resist pink peeps.




Thank you stopping by and visiting my little Shabby Chic Dining Room!

This week I am partying with

My Romantic Home

How Sweet the Sound Pink Saturday
