I am taking a little break from my home projects.I still have to add the hardware to our cabinets.I need Mr. Cottage to help me with that.We were trying to fix a leaky toilet this past weekend and  it is still not fixed.This past weekend I sold my french table set that I shared with you.I added a few more pieces to my space and then sold those as well.I did not even have a chance to take photos to share.I am low on furniture inventory so today I need to get out and shop for some things to paint.I have a few small pieces I will work on.But I need some larger pieces too!Today I wanted to share a tote on found recently at a local antique shop.LOVE this old tool tote! I am showing this on my farmhouse kitchen table but I am using it in my family room on our blanket chest.I want to paint ... View Post

Well I am almost done with my kitchen.Just a few more changes I would like to make but I think this is it for now.Yes I decided to paint those cabinets above the desk.And Yes I did take out the built in.It was much too small for me as far as room.I could hardly put anything in it.Where do I start?Lets start with the desk.My friend posted on her facebook that someone had a desk if anyone wanted it for free.Um yes sure I'll take it.I got in touch with the women and she said this was her husbands childhood desk.She had no where to put it so she was giving it away.When I took this desk I was going to paint it and sell it.Yes it was just old wood nothing to look at.Anyway I started to wonder what it would look like in my kitchen.I was looking for a desk and this one was free! I measured it yep ... View Post

Thank you so much for all of your suggestions! I decided I needed two more chairs that were a bit bigger.And I also decided I could not live with that yellow.I was lucky and found two chairs in that same style.They are not old but the right size and very sturdy.I decided to paint them all the same color.That is our den behind the doors.Still working on that room.No peeking!As you can see I also switched the bench to the opposite side.The newer two chairs are on the end.I think they look better as they are taller than the other two. Love those creamy white roses in my French white pitcher.My favorite round board on the table too! I use that every night!I really love this white! Seem to fit in better with all of the changes I have made to my home. These are beautiful! And smell heavenly ... View Post

Guess what I have been up to lately.Moving things around yep again.Mr. Cottage is used to it by now.So don't get used to seeing things the same in my home.Expect things to change quite often.Remember that farm table I had in my creative room?Well I started to wonder what it would look like in my kitchen.And here it is.It is a bit longer than our other table and a little narrow too.But that is how those old farm tables are.I recently found those two yellow chairs and white chippy chair.And you remember that pink chair you can see it on my header.I also found an old bench and I painted  it Annie Sloan Old White.I like all the different colors of the chairs.But not sure about the yellow what do you think? I really like having chairs mixed with a bench.This table really fits in with all the ...

I have been busy decorating for fall.I am keeping it very simple this year.Just using Heirloom pumpkins and things found in nature.A little vignette in my dining room.A large white pumpkin.I love these! I recently found that sweet little table at a barn sale! I really want to paint it .But it is a antique sewing table.Can you see the measure on the table? I really love that and I don't think I could paint it! And yes that is a paper nest.I found that at a yard sale today.They had five of these! I bought three and my friend bought one.I am selling one for now.I really hate these on my house.But they are quite beautiful! And fits in with my nature theme.I know Mr. Cottage is going to think I have gone crazy!!!A shot of my dining table.Keeping it really simple.Here is a close up.This pumpkin ... View Post
