The Shabby God-dess

We cannot have a Shabby Chic sort of a blog without bending a knee to the creator of Shabby Chic Style, Decorating Diva and Designer Extraordinaire:
Rachel Ashwell (and her blog).

Etsy Shabby Cottage Secret...shhhhh!

When you go to ETSY...search on "ecs"  this stands for "Etsy Cottage Style".  You'll be glad you did.  All the Shabby Chic insiders know this tip and use it.

Not Too Shabby: Gardens

Today I searched on "shabby hydrangeas" and ended up at Country Living Magazine.

They glammed up an old green house with shabby goodness!

There are so many ads on the page, but the slide show is worth it. Have a look and I hope you enjoy.

Got coffee?

Today how about a look at some Cute Pink Stuff? This promises to be a JAM PACKED blog and I haven't had a thorough look at it yet so I'm off to find my coffee and have a more leisurely look. If you're at the office, please enjoy responsibly.

Kelly's

Well Good Morning Darlings,
Apparently I've had a "Shabby Chic FAIL"!  So I've decided to change the name of this page to "Motorhomes" as opposed to using any sort of Shabby Chic reference in the title.

I am such a HUGE fan of the motorhome redo - I'll take it in any style.

Today's offering, you may have seen before, is Kelly's of "Rose Vine Cottage Two".  Her's was the first I'd seen and I fell madly in love!



Rose Vine Cottage Two

 I hope you like this one as much as I do.




Here' a little before picture, just your basic little motorhome.


But what a difference Kelly's decorating eye has given the place!












I think the use of beadboard here was a great idea.




It really seems to give the place a built in charm.

Why?

Why is it again I don't wake up in a really cool bedroom like this every morning? I found this on a fun blog, here: All Things Shabby Chic




Wouldn't you love a custom chandelier?

Sandy, at My Darling Chandeliers, makes them to order and they're priced just right!

(This one reminds me of one of those Barbie doll birthday cakes.)


I think her prices are comparable to the big box stores, but you're getting CUSTOM MADE!



She's got all sorts of colorful goodness too.


Sandy custom makes these items herself, I'm sure she can build you whatever it is you have in mind.


Here's the link to her Etsy shop:


(I think she's having a SALE on shipping costs...shhh!)

Peta By The Sea

We all know about eBay but do we all know about ETSY?  Selling online?

This woman sells like the dickens!

Check out her thermoses (thermi???)


They are darn cute, however you spell it.
