Last year when I moved into the little cottage she had no style.
Not really.
Just plain cream walls with a dash of black here and there.
I did add a few of my treasures but she was still lacking that special something.
You know....
Dont get me wrong...
I lovvvvve these shades but they just would not fit with the shabby look we are going for.
I have always adored the Shabbiness but really could not pull it off inside my home.
I think the males here would put up a fight soooo...
What better place to get my Shabby on than in my cottage.
I bet you know what I will be working on next...
You may not have even noticed that the cottage was painted.
It's only a shade or two lighter but boy does it make a difference.
Thank goodness my neighbor is a painter and has a store full of paint for me to play with!
He had the whole cottage painted in like 20 minutes!
Fast!
He used a sprayer.
If not... I would still be in there painting my heart out.
Madison and I are planning a little party as soon as we finish our Shabby makeover.
Today I have orders to paint and curtains to attempt.
I'm really loving this sewing stuff....

I so want to do a playhouse in my back yard for my grandgirls...You Inspire Me. More! More!
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like you were a very good sewing student!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the shabby look--I admire it, too, but it's not very masculine. As the lone female in this house, I've never felt that it was a look I could use. But if I had a little cottage. . . .
I look forward to seeing what you're up to out there!
Looking forward to the big reveal!! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love them!
ReplyDeleteOh, and can you send your neighbor/painter my way. I have a nursery to paint and my husband's dragging his feet. ;)
So fun! I love them...When are you going to show us the sofa? :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so sweet--I love them!

They turned out very shabby chic! I bet it's nice to have a girly place to create! Every girl needs her own space away from the guys!
ReplyDeleteI love how the ruffles turned out! Sewing is very relaxing isn't it~
Have fun with the curtains~
Robin~♥
Love 'em girl!! You and Madison did good!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the shades Susie! I'm hoping to make something similar for my dining room lamp soon~#125 on my list, ha! :)
ReplyDeleteYour cottage is so sweet.
Hang on a min!!! Have I missed like a MAJOR thing here??? I haven't been able to read you for ages, lovely new laptop now, and the last thing I knew was you didn't do sewing, you did gluing!!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to have a search back and find out what you've been upto Hun. Well done, looks gorgeous. xxx
O, they are perfect....you are going to love your little cottage this spring!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are super shabby! great job!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a painter friend ;)
Adorable - what a fun shabby detail. They turned out great. And you said you couldn't sew!
ReplyDeleteI just bought the exact chandelier for my Guest Room Redesign. We are debating putting shades on it. I like the way yours looks!
ReplyDeleteSusie, great job!! I love how cute these are! They definitely add the shabby look you want. I have always tried to balance the feminine and masculine in our home being that we have 4boys & 1 man in the home. I finally have given in a little to make it a little more sweet...they don't seem to mind and still leave their boy touches here and there...lot's of legos, dirty socks...you know. lol :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Victoria

ReplyDeleteI just found that very same fabric at Wal-mart last week. I bought enough for my new military ACU purse and then two days later I went back and bought the rest! I just love how you used it on your shades. Beautiful!
ReplyDelete“You can see the techniques of the knit on this style; Bandage Dress one day we will videotape the process of how our pieces are made. Herve Leger sale They weave the base and then hand-apply everything else. And our fit is really key. Oktoberfest Dress These pieces are more like sweaters than anything else—they’re not cut-and-sew, Herve Leger Dresses they’re knits—and that’s why they fit so well. People are so surprised at how well Herve Leger fits, and I tell them it’s all about how the dresses are constructed.”And finally, we dress for what we love too. For what we just can’t resist. Lubov, a former dancer, is a big fan of movement, so for her that signals the fringe-trimmed bandage dress.
