Shabby Chic Style ~ Upholstered Headboards
~ Monday Inspiration ~
I am back, not fully able to maneuver and still in my boot, but I am finally back. During this forced hiatus I have been able to collect more photos of rooms that inspire me and have been fine tuning my own vision of shabby chic design style.
One of my favorite things in a bedroom are crisp white linens and padded, upholstered headboards ...
they come in many shapes and sizes ...
simple lines to elegantly tufted ...
always chic ...
Have a wonderful week and ...
Enjoy your moments,

I will be posting again this week but right now I have to get a piece of serious business out of the way...
It has come to my attention over the last few weeks that a few shops big and small (and ebay) have started using my trademarked name as part of their store names, product descriptions and suggesting that they are offering my line of furniture and decorative items, misleading our customers and trying to pull from our long and tireless marketing efforts. I am extremely shocked and hurt by some of the offenders, I thought they practiced better business ethics.
To the violators:
We will be prosecuting all offenders, one by one.
To our customers, bloggers and friends:
I would appreciate it if you did not purchase from any of these businesses.
Thank you,
Sandra
Wednesday Celebration on Thursday
If only we could design our own ....
found this Waverly ad in BHG last issue ....
Why design your home according to trends and fads?
Go with what you love and what makes you feel good.
Today I am celebrating individuality.
Is your home a representation of you?

Monday Inspiration ~ White Bedrooms ~ Chic Lighting
This recovery thing is a little tougher than I thought it would be, I am going on my third week of being in bed with my leg in a boot cast and keeping my foot elevated and although I thought I loved my bedroom and everything in it, I can truly say I do not ..... so here is today's inspiration
~ Monday Inspiration ~
my favorite, always in white ....
love the contrast of dark wood pieces with the white...
Love the large Hollywood style upholstered headboard. This room needs some work but it is a great starting point.
Lighting is an integral part of any room and I have a few favorites to share with you...
beautiful capiz shell pendant ...
shabby chic white rose pendant...
gorgeous designer silver and crystal chandelier...
shabby ivory iron candle chandelier....
The last three are available at Shabbyrosechic.com
Thank you for the well wishes.
Have a wonderful week and...

Monday Inspiration ~ Shabby Chic ~ Romantic Porches
Sheer curtain panels or fabric can be strung around the porch to give you the feeling of privacy while still allowing you a view...
Soft faded colors, plenty of comfy seating...
Even a small area can be designed to inspire....
An all white palette gives the feeling of being cool even on a hot day...
I hope I have given you some ideas for creating your shabby chic style outdoor space....
for those of you who have already created your outdoor space, please share pics with us and I will include a picture here along with a link back to your blog or website.
Have a wonderful week!
Enjoy your moments,

Friday Flea Market ~ DIY Chic ~ Family Jewels
Great day for junkin, sun is shining and the birds are singing. I only had an hour because hubby is taking my vehicle for the day, but it was a great hour.
~ Friday Flea Market ~
I think I mentioned that the hubby and I are on the look out for a vintage travel trailer, something I can turn into a shabby chic retreat on wheels... I am one of those cart before the horse types, if I act like I have one, I will have one...
so everything I found today was perfect for my trailer...
I love the vintage plastic party ware that was made to look like cut glass, I have picked up a few different pieces this year always very inexpensive...25¢ ea for these beautiful plates that will be great for eating on or using under a paper plate and butter dish. I was thinking about the bumping around in cabinets and the need for unbreakables and then hubby informed me I did a great job because it was important to keep the weight down... then I said "pfff.. I know honey"....... (not).
I also found a set of Tupperware salt and pepper shakers, and a Hollywood soft plastic measuring cup.
2 great Panama style hats for flea marketing and trailer traveling...
used a vintage rose hat band for my favorite.... now where did I put that hot pink and white 60's scarf by Vera... perfect for the black hat makeover!
~ Do It Yourself Chic ~
Last week I showed you a cement urn that I used for my Easter/ Spring centerpiece. I wanted a more sophisticated look, something that showed a lot of contrast and I have been trying to come up with a way to display some of my favorite collectibles...
I arranged some my Family Jewels in it and no matter which way I enter the living room I get sparkle. I finally get to enjoy my pieces and when the candles are lit at night...bling bling...
I hope you have a great weekend!
Enjoy your moments,
Sorry for the late post.

Wednesday Celebration ~ Blue Skies ~ Vanilla Candles
I just wanted to share these beautiful, cream, metal lace cut work candle holders I just got in. Loved them so much I grabbed a couple for myself...
I put a vanilla pillar in it....
it looks so pretty all lit up.
~ Wednesday Celebrations ~
It is cold and windy and we even have a dusting of snow on our mountain top,
perfect weather for taking photographs...
today I am celebrating windy days ....
wispy clouds....
blue skies and vanilla candles ....
can you see the bunny hopping on the right ? ....
Sometimes all you have to do is look up to feel loved.
Brrr.. time to go in ...
Enjoy your moments,

Monday Inspiration ~ Spring Renewal ~ Shabby Chic
Spring is a time for renewal ... Faith, Family, Home and Business are all areas in our lives that can benefit from renewed energy and focus. Spring is when I focus much more on my own surroundings, after spending the winter months decorating for the holidays, and pouring over magazines, books and even getting ideas from movies while I was snuggling up during the bad weather, I feel the urge to renew and redo.
Shabby chic is my passion but I am also drawn to modern pieces, so I am trying to find the right blend for my own home. Gemini, go figure. The rooms I pick out to share with you may have one element that inspires me or it may be the entire room.... here are a few more that I hope inspire you too.
I love this kitchen ...
.jpg)
I adore the simplicity of this space... I don't care much for wood chairs so I would probably add parson chairs with white velvet or chenille slipcovers for texture and comfort and I think that would give me the modern feeling I look for...
Chairs should make you want to linger at the table for chit chat with friends and family before and after a meal...
I am outfitting every window in my home with gauze this year ...
I would change the canopy to a sheer white gauze
but need I say more about this bedroom ....
another great fireplace mantle...
and a little touch of Spring for you.
What inspiration does Spring bring for you?
Have a wonderful week.

Friday Flea Market ~ Happy Easter
~ Friday Flea Market ~
April showers bring May flowers ...
good thing ... otherwise I would be a little disenchanted with today's rainy weather.
No junkin for me today, maybe tomorrow. : (
So to celebrate Friday flea market everything in Vintage Home at Shabby Rose Cottage is 15% off through April 12th!!!
Discount will be refunded to you after purchase along with any difference in shipping.
My sweet daughter in law has been chauffeuring me around to Drs appointments getting ready for my foot surgery at the end of the month ( no junkin for 6 weeks after the surgery, can you imagine?) she picked this beauty up for me at our local Salvation Army. I used a little moss to form a nest and added vintage blue paper mache glittered eggs for a perfect table decoration....
Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Enjoy your moments,
