Paris Chic Wing Back Chair Makeover...Before and After

Love those street side treasure finds...

For all of you who are as passionate as I am about finding wonderful yesteryear treasures in need of a little renovation and loving care, I thought you would enjoy seeing pictures of my wing back chair makeover!  A true labor of love!

In it's original condition...

After removing at least a million upholstery tacks and the torn leather...

Next I painted the legs white with a little distressing and glaze then began the task of adding new padding and using a beautiful beige linen to re-upholster...

Voila...a new chair accented with this wonderfully chic pillow from "Renovation Hardware"...

Originally, I had planned to sell it at my little store space at "The House at 755" but after all of that work I decided to keep it to accent my guest bedroom...

THE BEDROOM

Simple and inviting...accented with vintage photographs and this fabulous pair of vintage baby shoes that belonged to my grandmother...

and this delightful handcrafted sachet...

with the same theme carried into the guest bath..

Hope you enjoyed this makeover and hoping that I have left you with new ideas and new inspiration for your next yesteryear creative endeavor!

Thank you for stopping by!

A new season and new beginnings...

A new season is upon us bringing new hope, new dreams and yesteryear memories to cherish...

The carefree days of summer have surely come and gone way too fast...the days are shorter and the nights a bit chilly.

As we are drawn back inside,our visions become anew with the comfort of a warm cup of tea sitting by a crackling fire or curling up with a good book in a quiet little nook!

Until my abode can be that pretty little beach cottage I like to retreat to my imagination of days filled with endless sunshine and sand beneath my feet.

Truly a dreamer and hopeless romantic!

My inspiration for creating cherished treasures for my little space at "The House at 755"...

Thank you so much for stopping by...wishing you a day filled with God's beautiful blessings!

Spring is coming!

Looking so forward to spring and summer!  Can't wait to see the tulips and daffodils begin to blossom, the trees budding and bursting forth with green foliage, longer warmer days and bright sunshine streaming through my windows!

My little corner at "The House at 755" is filled to the brim with lots of new cottage chic and shabby sweet treasures!  You will find a wonderful eclectic mix of hand painted furniture and wood signs, pretty lamps, re-invented vintage novelties, hand crafted pillows and delightful accents just perfect for your beach cottage decor!

Be sure to stop by and take a peek!

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look at my blog!  Love all of my sweet followers!

Where has the year gone!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe that it has been almost a year since I have posted on my blog!  It seems the older I get, the faster the years seem to go by. 

 After spending a year living in a tiny little apartment while building a new home, we finally moved in July which meant unpacking a million boxes!  Slowly, but surely I have been sorting through the old and mixing in some new to create a new decor.  Still a few rooms to go but will share some pictures as soon as all is complete! 

All of this mixed in with trips to visit family and working to keep my space at "The House at 755" filled with pretty treasures the time has flown by.  So here it is almost a year later since I have had a free minute to share through my blog!

Inspired by the wonderfully mild weather that we have been blessed with this winter, I have been creating some fabulous new treasures for spring and summer that I will be filling my store space with in the next couple of weeks!  Here are some of the sweet treasures I now have offered.

All in all, it has been a great year and I thank God for all of His blessings!  Thanks for stopping by!



Cottage Chic Spring Treasures!

Spring is almost here!

And I am so ready to see the snow be gone!

Can't wait for the tulips and daffodils to sprout up and the trees begin to blossom!

Anxiously awaiting sunshine and warmer temperatures, this sure has been a long, cold winter.

Off to romantic Jamaica for three weeks (I am so excited) to do nothing but relax, read, laugh, soak up the sunshine and sip champagne!  It will be so nice to see clear blue skies, soft white sand, the beautiful carribean blue ocean and colorful tropical flowers!  And, hopefully when I return spring will be here!

I have added lots of shabby sweet treasures to my store space at the "House at 755" for your enjoyment and pleasure!  Sure do hope you have a chance to stop by and take a peek! 

Until I return in April...

New Shabby Sweet and Cottage Chic Treasures!

Oh my gosh, where does the time go!  Another beautiful Christmas season has come and gone but here in New England our wintery weather sure is lingering!

Ignoring the mounds of snow outiside, my mind has already traveled to thoughts of spring and the melodious sounds of birds chirping with visions of bright blue skies, sunshine, warmer temperatures and the welcoming sight of daffodils and tulips beginning to blossom!  Inspired by the welcoming anticipation of spring I have created and re-invented some lovely new treasures for My Whimsical Victorian Chic Cottage located at the House at 755!

Hope you will have a chance to stop by and take a peek!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks for stopping by!  Wishing you a bright and beautiful day!
