A Sweet Nesting Cherub!

Good Morning and Happy Friday! 

I fell asleep too early so now I am up with the birds and cherubs! I will share with you my newest angelic addition! 

BEFORE...

AFTER a visit to the Shabby Chic Beauty Salon! I found this little beauty for $1 at a tag sale and I could see that a coat of white paint would make it Fabulous!

I found the little nest at a tag sale, it fit perfectly in the arms of the cherub and then I added the pretty roses, I think it is a nice touch although the nest could be changed out for a candle or even a delightful sweet treat!

It found its final home on my Shabby Buffet to the left next to my lamp and wedding picture...

Hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day!

Shabfabulous Tray Makeover!

Before Picture~

 Mommy's little baby doll got in on the Shabby Tray Makeover~ We got paint all over us! She always wants to help me and 95% of the time I let her ! EEEK! Even our kitty ended up with paint on him. LOL I had to work fast to clean up her " globs" because she wanted to use "Mommy's big brush" and of course I let her~But honestly who could resist she is so cute and determined!

 Of course it wall all worth it in the end! It makes me want to be pampered so I can relax with some Romantic Country Magazines and be pampered!

I can imagine myself with a cup of Hot Cocoa and my favorite Magazine!

Pretty little vintage Girl Bell with a broken wing I got for free~ Makes me love her more!

 Well, as pretty as my tray turned out globs and all...I think it needs to make its way into my Flea Market booth~ MAYBE!~

Please stop back by for more inspiring Shabfabulous Makeovers!

Junk Haulin' a Tea Cart!

Soooo.... this is the cute red tea cart that was supposed to make its way into my Flea Market Booth....alas it bumped around in my car until I came up with the perfect spot to put it in my house! 

MISSION: To paint it white and load it up with Shabtastic Goodness!

 

 3 1/2 Cans of spray paint later and a serious visit to the Shabby Chic beauty Salon and ....

Waaaaa LAAAA!

So, some of you might be thinking....it was pretty cute red?! I agree....but where in the world would a red tea cart go in my house???? When everything is Shabbed out and painted white! Well, I adore this makeover even though it took so much paint! 

On top I decorated with a cute tin ($1.50) at a garage sale, I squealed so loud at this find my friend probably wanted to hide under a table~

A close up of the delightful tin full of crushed roses~

A pretty teapot I got for free because the foot was broken... I have it propped up in a candle and the lace bow conceals its identity!

Birdhouse above $5 tag sale find....junk inside total cost of about $1.50~ Love the thrifty!

Well, I hope you enjoyed my Shabby Tea Cart! Check back to see why my hands are covered in a white paint mess! Yes, I am blogging and painting at the same time!

Birdhouse Makeover from Drab to Fab!!!

To the right is a very mistreated birdhouse with hot glue stuck to the front and a half painted roof...

 

Waa Laaaa! It has been to the Shabby Chic Beauty Salon and gotten the works! 

First I painted it white with a pretty pink roof! 

 

 

Then I added a pretty rose decal to the front, I had a hard time getting it to stick so I had to let the wood glue dry over night and then paint over my glue mess. LOL~

 

It found a home on my entryway table. 

Hope you liked it, I think it turned out really pretty...it was super cheap. Thats what I love!

Check back for the Shabby Bench Redo!

It is garage sale season again and I have been shopping and painting like crazy! I am so excited to share my  makeover stories with you!

This is the brown ladder painted pink with pretty roses decoupaged on top!

 Oh so pretty!

Oooohhh La La I have been dying for a pink cottage ladder. I hope I can find a permanent spot for it.... otherwise it may be up for sale. Well I am feeling in the mood for more pink and rose~ Please check back to see the rest of the makeovers.

~Shabby Addict~

 Treasure Hunting from last weekend...hold your breath...only $5 this is a pretty bridesmaid purse handmade by one of my neighbors! Oh so pretty!

The little iron chair was in the ladies front yard at the garage sale I was at this morning... I asked her if she would sell it to me she said ABSOLUTELY NOT! 10 seconds later she said ok...$3... you can imagine what I was screaming inside my head! YIPEE. I kept my cool thankfully!

In the chair sits a pretty pink chandelier... Shabby Heaven!

 My Wonky candles, I got 25 for $1 and then realized why.... they are a bit wonky don't ya think!

This pretty tablecloth is really a bed overlay...but it fits my table perfectly!!

 Pretty rose plates hung on newly shabbied cabinets! I used old shutters that I painted pink instead of a valance here, I just like to have a bit of a view! Check out the fluffy white curtain above! I have a pretty rose shabby chic curtain I am going to layer on it... my poor husband does not stand a chance. I still have red walls... will someone please come paint them white for me! LOL

This is part of my living room the pretty white cabinet I found for only $15 and the window I painted (3 coats to cover the awful red) and then added shutters! I finally found two pretty plates to go on each side of the platter!
Well, I would say this is a good day of Shabby Shopping! Especially since I have been out of town and pretty much cleaning all day!  Thought I would share a little eye candy with everyone!

Have a Blessed evening!

Hugs Olivia
