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!

~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!

 My Home!

A Work in Progress....

Ok, I am getting requests for pictures of my home... so here is the cleanest part I am the most pleased with! I promise to post more as I clean and decorate for spring!

This is a current picture of my dining room! I added the clock on the wall that I got for $5 from my wonderful friend Lorena. The cabinet in the corner I flipped upside down and spruced up with some white paint and added the shabby knobs! My chandelier was a garage sale find that I painted a creamy white and added the handmade rose kissing ball. I still need to complete the shades and add more drippy crystals.

This is a pretty arrangement of Pink roses. A little bold but it adds a splash of color!

This is my pretty corner cabinet~

I love the pretty crystal handles on this cabinet... makes all the pretty difference!

Above is my kitchen cabinet painted white...not super pleased with this display yet!

Oh so pretty....but as always I am working to do more with it!~
