I love Angel wings,I am not sure what it is that attracts me to them.
Maybe it’s the pure white color,and the soft wings,and the bit of pure romance.
I found a lovely set a few years ago at a garage sale,they were very nice but a bit small.
Then I won a set on Decor Steals.
It’s one of my favorite treasures in my family room,but I still adore the soft look of a feathered pair of angel wings.
As you can see this is an older photo,I don’t have that chandelier any longer.
As I was out enjoying a girls day out up at the lake I spotted a pair of Angel wings.
They were perfect just the size I had been looking for !
And yes as soon as I spotted them I knew just where I was going to put them.
On my chippy garden gate I have hanging on my dining room wall!
I previously had a pink oval chippy frame with a small dried rose’s wreath hanging here.
But I was getting tired of that look,and yes I am always tweaking things.
After I hung up this set of Angel wings I placed that frame on my table and noticed it looked pretty with the vintage pink drawer I already had on the center of my table,so it’s staying there for now.
This frame really works great with that drawer and it is a bit whimsy too!
These flowers are starting to go,and when they go they seem to go fast.
I love roses as they softly fade , I can’t say I like the way that these flowers look when they go.
Hopefully I will enjoy these for a day or two longer.
I bet you noticed another new piece in my dining room.
I spotted this paper mache body form last week when I was out shopping with my friend Kris from Junk Chic Cottage.
I think it’s a fun piece and I love that it has the year my husband and I were married.
It’s one of those pieces that will move around here quite a bit.
For now I decided to add it to this side chair that I am not using in my kitchen.
I have another change in here soon,but I am frantically getting ready for the sale so it will have to wait.
Where is this summer going?
I can’t believe it’s almost the end of July!
But I must admit,I am sort of starting to think about Christmas……shhhhh don’t tell my family.
They will think I am crazy!
But this year I may get a head start on things instead of waiting until the last minute.

Anne, what a beautiful, fluffy find! As always, you home is amazing!!!!
I’m starting to think about fall!
Thank you so much sweet Yvonne! Ah yes fall….it will be here soon.Actually feels like fall this summer!
Anne,
Love love the wings on the gate. So pretty. The mannequin looks great on the chair that you found while out shopping. Everything is looking so good in the dining room. I love the pink drawer and frame together. I think it adds that whimsy and your signature color of pink. Looking marvelous girlfriend.
Kris
Thank you sweet friend!
Anne,
Could you tell me please where you purchased your dining room chairs. I’ve been looking for quite awhile
to find something similar. Thanks so much.

Joye we bought that table and chair set many many years ago.I painted them a few years ago because it needed an update from 1995 because that is the year we bought them.Sorry I don’t remember the name,and I am sure they don’t make them anymore since it is has been so long.I would check thrift shops.I am always seeing pieces of furniture from different years and decades,you might get lucky.
Oh I like those. Don’t you love Décor Steals. I know that’s not where you got those though.
Christmas, not there yet. Maybe I could think of how to make it a little easier on myself with so many kids and grands. I love the holidays and it can’t hurt to plan ahead.
Thank you Debby! Yes that’s why I am sort of starting to think about Christmas a bit.Last year I had so many ideas,but I waited too long.I would like to start early so I can share my ideas in some tutorials.
Anne you always inspire me. I happen to have a pair of angel wings and now I know just what I am going to do with them! Thanks, Jo XX
Thanks so much for your sweet comment Joanne,I am inspired by others too 🙂
Heavens, I love those feathery, fluffy angel wings on that chippy gate, perfect combo. I also love that mirror you have hung between wood wings, I have a thing for vintage mirrors. Would sure love to have that.
Going to put piece of glass in a vintage looking plastic frame. First I’ll spray the glass with looking glass paint, then spray with vinegar, water combo, then some more looking glass paint hopefully will look like vintage mirror. Had mirror in frame but I dropped it some time ago just never replaced.
Used frame to make another kind of project til I got tired of it. I also tweak, replace things after a time when I get tired of it. Our son in law says it’s always interesting to see what I’ve changed when they come over. He’s very artistic, where daughter loves to decorate so she looks around also. Our grand daughters say they tell their friends about all the things their grand parents make and decorate.
How cool JaneEllen,I love that your Son in law is artistic and your daughter loves to decorate too!I am sure you have fun exchanging ideas! Love the idea of adding glass to a vintage frame,a wonderful way to make your own vintage mirror 🙂
I collect angels I love pretty angel wings too. I have some beautiful wings hanging on the wall in my art room. Hugs
What a fun collection to have Katherine!
Your new angel wings are so pretty! I’m sure they will be prominently displayed at Christmas time too! Good luck with your sale.
Thank you Kelly!
Happy Saturday Anne! Currently, my house is for sale. Of course my “dream home” is a small cottage off the beaten path, but I will be looking for it until the day I die. Until then I want to make whatever home I live in next to be homey and cottagey. First project is to paint my OLD dining table and chairs! I want to paint them an ivory color. I like your table/chairs. Did you paint yours? If so, do you remember the paint you used and the color? Thanks! (I know you probably get tired of people asking you about this color and that paint…sorry.)
Thanks so much Jackie.Nope not at all I really don’t mind people asking me,but I do forget what color it was.It was a few years ago.Let me see if I can find it and I will share it with you and on my blog too 🙂
The table color I used is Pittsburgh paint Sandy Oasis in semi-gloss finish.Before painting it I used a primer first.You can view the post about this HERE:
