I took a little Christmas vacation to Cocoa Beach, and we went in Gracie. Mr. Swedish Room surprised me with it a week or two before we went. It was a lot of packing, but I was still excited. All I could think was I finally get my dream of waking up on the beach at Christmas. I enjoyed my time at the beach and I bought back lots of pics, but I have to show them in parts. I really felt like I had my beach cottage that I always wanted. It was a short walk to the water, and I went there every chance I got. You don't have to believe me just see for yourself....</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-ka2dpA_HOvFsXkZwR6LX015bJ_8EBJv3oxIWdcodzWw9V2640FoMUEn3YrWNbKTiXovwDkr1lEuafnXmftPSwFSHmdCtevYdCb_-RdE6KFQPCTF8IW3ElNo142Kz1A6jebnFc-TEVWaz/s1600/STP60637.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557316635053863602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-ka2dpA_HOvFsXkZwR6LX015bJ_8EBJv3oxIWdcodzWw9V2640FoMUEn3YrWNbKTiXovwDkr1lEuafnXmftPSwFSHmdCtevYdCb_-RdE6KFQPCTF8IW3ElNo142Kz1A6jebnFc-TEVWaz/s320/STP60637.JPG" /></a>Waking up to palm trees, it was a little cool there.

Sorry I have not responded to everyone right away, but it has been a little busy here at The Room. I promise I will respond to everyone ASAP. Here is the new news, Mr Swedish Room surprised me with a trip to Coco Beach in Florida. Here is the catch we are going in Gracie, ok not so much a catch, but I still have to pack her and get her ready. I ready don't mind because I'll enjoy Christmas on the beach in my BCOW (For those not in the know, Beach Cottage On Wheels). Just have to get a little tree and some beachy ornaments, I'm going to have fun. PS we are taking my buddy Zeus (check the side panel, he is the one with the smiling face and the wagging tail). I'll keep you posted.....</div><div align="center">Ok its White Wednesday Time, and have I got a project for you. I'm sure everyone has seen how Restoration Hardware has this new French Flea Market look, but lets just say the price tags don't match. Ok I sell antiques, but even I have to look twice and shake my head. I love the look, but in these days and times a penny saved is a penny earned. So I needed a new lamp, now is my time to strike with the good old crafty imagination (Thanks Martha Stewart). I know I need to take step by step pics, but I was so excited, I guess I didn't think about it at the time until the end, darn...</div><div align="center">I took a lided urn I had kicking around The Room and said LAMP!!! So off to work I went. I took off the knob. Enlarged the hole, and put the base together. I found a base for the bottom and faux rusted it ( I used Rust-oleum rusty metal primer and after that dried, put on Rust-oleum Multicolor Textured spray paint in Autumn Brown. Here is the part that makes it look rusty, take a hand towel and dap the Autumn Brown spray paint wet. You may need more than one coat and dap to get it where you want.) I had Mr. Swedish Room wire it, and I took my creation to Restoration Hardware for a shade (Can you believe someone wanted to buy my lamp in the store? It made me feel great). There you have it a Restoration Hardware like lamp without the price tag. Enough talking, here are some pics.</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYmWvS6irGc6nisxpBuU-AijeIZwO3awm2p0HG0LxE_z0od_NBHIKp14Nc0Ik-wjVjcheXAUQwLxrerYKF2X6JLrSWVyFGxRPs3SolSgC5KuBGAXkl7pQ6QF5WzG8Y3Lj54bqxO_WwodA4/s1600/STP60625.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550920742631383426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYmWvS6irGc6nisxpBuU-AijeIZwO3awm2p0HG0LxE_z0od_NBHIKp14Nc0Ik-wjVjcheXAUQwLxrerYKF2X6JLrSWVyFGxRPs3SolSgC5KuBGAXkl7pQ6QF5WzG8Y3Lj54bqxO_WwodA4/s320/STP60625.JPG" /></a> The faux rusty metal base goes great with the real rusty metal of the urn.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixfqWnGiI9YDI_wruTciQYXgLhu5yz13jysi7-kFnwlnbudMT6SAF4aN6rnLgBDTkSxMdHTz3XIcTlb_qtE-zL3dC-UBCyFP4oJ3_96N1TIfrroiM38m3WJHqmlHDG0Hi-TQnrs8xGAyuE/s1600/STP60626.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550920736963104466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixfqWnGiI9YDI_wruTciQYXgLhu5yz13jysi7-kFnwlnbudMT6SAF4aN6rnLgBDTkSxMdHTz3XIcTlb_qtE-zL3dC-UBCyFP4oJ3_96N1TIfrroiM38m3WJHqmlHDG0Hi-TQnrs8xGAyuE/s320/STP60626.JPG" /></a>Silk shade by Restoration Hardware, lamp by me.

Let's do Christmas everyone. I put Christmas up early this year, because Mr. Swedish Room wanted to have the office Christmas party at our house. Might I say parties are nice when they are not at your house. So instead of being the evil Christmas witch this year, I decided to give in and start the party. Did I say Christmas witch, I meant SUPER CHRISTMAS WITCH. Lets say my Martha Stewart gene was going into overdrive. Everything had to be perfect and unique, everything had to be cleaned and recleaned. The house had to be redone, and redone again. Might I say I yelled so much, I couldn't stand myself. Somehow by the grace of God we made it. It was a nice party and I will show you some of the redoes, but not today. Instead let me show you some Christmas at The Room. </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7mtgYv_IpO8H-BX_oXSTuROhj9-ty2SN92kMpWeSyaHT3E-zbK4syb8t41LsSbgHdbxm3ki-72hr81E9b8nBmDg-calkJ477eQfUVkEFRnws3ryj53g0Igp2S6UJVnwWVFfHrdg_P2qE-/s1600/STP60627.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549073514038775986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7mtgYv_IpO8H-BX_oXSTuROhj9-ty2SN92kMpWeSyaHT3E-zbK4syb8t41LsSbgHdbxm3ki-72hr81E9b8nBmDg-calkJ477eQfUVkEFRnws3ryj53g0Igp2S6UJVnwWVFfHrdg_P2qE-/s320/STP60627.JPG" /></a> I found this idea at Pottery Barn.

I really enjoyed blogging this past summer and enjoyed meeting all of you and seeing beautiful homes and even more beautiful thoughts. It has been a weird last few months, lots of ups and downs with Mr. Swedish Room and I. I felt so all alone with no one to turn to and no direction. I have been unhappy about my life lately, I know kind of stupid. There are so many that are way worst than I am, yet I could not see that, until last week. A friend came to visit me, I was so excited. I showed my friend all the local sites we laughed and had plenty of fun. We also talked about what was happening to me. This friend has never been that profound or inspirational, but I was truly surprised by what I heard. My friend said you only have one life to live if no one wants to walk with you pick yourself up and walk, eventually someone will walk next to you and then another and another. With this message in hand I decided recently to start walking and keep on walking. Today I understood the message fully, I decided not to do Scott's this month. I helped a friend, Angie, last month by storing her tables for her and I promised to bring them this month. I also wanted to bring Ms. Prue and older woman at Scott's who sells toys and pretty things, some toys I bought for her. I also wanted to give a Thank you note to Sonny the man that sells antique books at Scott's, because he did me a favor last month. When I got to Scott's all the other dealers I had talked to and knew gave me hugs and told me they were glad to see me. They said they would miss me this month at the show and couldn't wait to see me next month. I was so happy at the outpouring of love I was smiling and still am. My friend was right, and I'm glad. I missed my little blessings, but I sure saw them today. I hope you all take a minute and see your little blessings. I think my break is over and I'm ready to get back to life.</div><div align="center">PS go hug someone today, you may make their day.</div><div align="center">See everyone later........ </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXoa0D32hOCjEvr8u6QiRZo6ae3Ll0D7cNR0vtXsR8YcJZdPVCWkhBabBOvlPzFfV7FtIdvYZUZc4XM5PS0jV2dpGuvQXJUjYGDMAcxfvG5mhF6FJojBxw8zH_PjzrjvSFozWRdxyiq9OB/s1600/STP60311.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548802832906099650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXoa0D32hOCjEvr8u6QiRZo6ae3Ll0D7cNR0vtXsR8YcJZdPVCWkhBabBOvlPzFfV7FtIdvYZUZc4XM5PS0jV2dpGuvQXJUjYGDMAcxfvG5mhF6FJojBxw8zH_PjzrjvSFozWRdxyiq9OB/s320/STP60311.JPG" /></a></div>The Swedish Roomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07023553837228840817noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154564678208770311.post-58805014428784851542010-09-20T07:19:00.001-07:002010-09-20T17:24:41.634-07:00Who's Ready For The Beach???<div align="center">Hi everyone, Here we go.

Seeing her adventures, and hearing about the wonderful times she had got me thinking. So I decided to go for it this summer. Mr. Swedish Room at first looked at me like I lost my mind, but I convinced him we could be in the great outdoors more often. Saying that cinched it. So we started looking for campers, or for those in the know BCOW (Beach Cottage On Wheels). It took so long, and seeing so many dirty, expensive, and bad layout campers, I thought this was never going to happen. Then we finally found my Gracie, don't get me wrong she needed a lot of work (a new ceiling for one thing). Well you can see for yourself........ </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvIS2vZE4KgiwoJh2WpgUWIIWxpPkGC1sjAuwvN8mdhSTFlD7iYNOe2M3iamKceGXWqhe2f04NVRZcDfXDK-niV_0Xqv5addAhSu0QrqrW9nVfzC5RIqGS809LtbTOQtb-26FG_JNH1bSj/s1600/STP60559.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519003345742082690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvIS2vZE4KgiwoJh2WpgUWIIWxpPkGC1sjAuwvN8mdhSTFlD7iYNOe2M3iamKceGXWqhe2f04NVRZcDfXDK-niV_0Xqv5addAhSu0QrqrW9nVfzC5RIqGS809LtbTOQtb-26FG_JNH1bSj/s320/STP60559.JPG" /></a> I'm going to enjoy the great outdoors more, as long as its done my way.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgogH5fKKFKOQdqPiQARaQ6fzfOn8ulMauWnc0yNSarbLzVL6yvPRhXOfKoyMm3bdR4dn770XJvlABh5TzWek3eKKL6k86y3aR722bYmUqHiA4rfVb9wiKKyisiyYxORVyNGxKYZScwHOmX/s1600/STP60596.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519003060677203362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgogH5fKKFKOQdqPiQARaQ6fzfOn8ulMauWnc0yNSarbLzVL6yvPRhXOfKoyMm3bdR4dn770XJvlABh5TzWek3eKKL6k86y3aR722bYmUqHiA4rfVb9wiKKyisiyYxORVyNGxKYZScwHOmX/s320/STP60596.JPG" /></a>You always need a layered bed, on those cold nights.

I can't wait to show you. Today I'm joining Debra at Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday. I have been thinking who has inspired my style the most, I have to say Rachel Ashwell has. Ever since I saw her slipcovered furniture and use of vintage pieces, her embrace of imperfection, I was hooked. I love white, but I have included other colors as well over the years. I even learn to make slipcovers thanks to Rachel. I think she has influenced every part of my life. This includes my thinking, embracing the imperfect, and seeing it's perfect beauty. I had these Louis chairs (I have two) for a while (you may have seen them on other posts already slipcovered), but I want to share with you what inspired me to slipcover, instead of upholstering them. </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVQMTc7SBYN4KsRg-7Mp7S9_ClCJyomeBZ2x6W5VBPWKHbEcAv0QG0V2XoK-QbomNk8-RwDw1JbkhEQ0RKWLYK6TrCE76B5fNwNQdO5PgEvRTMzVf0xuuJH4pY_ooM-Rc2oFLS4LAZR-h_/s1600/STP60592.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517879956440837890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVQMTc7SBYN4KsRg-7Mp7S9_ClCJyomeBZ2x6W5VBPWKHbEcAv0QG0V2XoK-QbomNk8-RwDw1JbkhEQ0RKWLYK6TrCE76B5fNwNQdO5PgEvRTMzVf0xuuJH4pY_ooM-Rc2oFLS4LAZR-h_/s320/STP60592.JPG" /></a> I love the big ties I put on them, I love seeing big ties on slipcovers it gives them an extra detail.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwgHR35odQd50ycVew7wnrunOwEW7_ZxajlTFXFpekVM9LZ5WnuYdzH0fojpjbM1ACPBoIMxRiHmt4QqBsdkSFhL8aR1jHLvt_9891kE7S1YzPhw8vfJG3xOOHy9iqv8MesaS_OU-XIYNZ/s1600/STP60593.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517879947654915730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwgHR35odQd50ycVew7wnrunOwEW7_ZxajlTFXFpekVM9LZ5WnuYdzH0fojpjbM1ACPBoIMxRiHmt4QqBsdkSFhL8aR1jHLvt_9891kE7S1YzPhw8vfJG3xOOHy9iqv8MesaS_OU-XIYNZ/s320/STP60593.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div>One of my inspirational pieces (these two pics are from Shabby Chic), I love the loose fit of the slipcovers and the tie details.

I love urns and have quite a few, I can remember years ago seeing them everywhere, and loving them. There is nothing like a rusty urn showing it age. I always wonder, what was planted in it, if it was in a cottage or a grand home. Most of the ones I own are not old (those are too expensive for me), but they still have lots of rust. Well if you leave them outside......</div><br /><div align="center">Here are three that I love, I put them on a rusty base table....</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi9ahWowNgQPt1E9tQXvr9x4FHl7HOR-DAT2DCvCGnw4ralTzHvnRzDG8Tbc-nUo3DcDz2jxukA3UNd1ioA3o4xkMyjaYoW7t7VYd31_OazVlLGHApZuyvW8MRBp-TCi_ZfyeyqpRyolx9/s1600/STP60588.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517128413480270130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi9ahWowNgQPt1E9tQXvr9x4FHl7HOR-DAT2DCvCGnw4ralTzHvnRzDG8Tbc-nUo3DcDz2jxukA3UNd1ioA3o4xkMyjaYoW7t7VYd31_OazVlLGHApZuyvW8MRBp-TCi_ZfyeyqpRyolx9/s320/STP60588.JPG" /></a> White and rusty.....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEf2YnCRS1_69ehcJNkPcO_rJ2ou7RNUR1FiIXsW4RVN16SosWQgNzfbse3Cgti1tHRrirvw634eMVpAF3MC-a-kOWjXXz_h_iUUC0ueQPmsUZqQaZ-GwBlHZFCvYP1a5BZKnUKbismPe/s1600/STP60587.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517128406305162306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEf2YnCRS1_69ehcJNkPcO_rJ2ou7RNUR1FiIXsW4RVN16SosWQgNzfbse3Cgti1tHRrirvw634eMVpAF3MC-a-kOWjXXz_h_iUUC0ueQPmsUZqQaZ-GwBlHZFCvYP1a5BZKnUKbismPe/s320/STP60587.JPG" /></a>Rusty base table.

Fall is a great time of year, you can sit out without being burned up or frozen. Depending on where you live you can feel a pleasant nip in the air at night. Fall colors are not usually in my palette, but I make small changes for the season. I find its cheaper to make small changes, and it does have more of an impact than you might think. First change dining room, all I did was get a black urn I already had (I know its not white, I don't paint everything white), rolled up some paper (in this case a clearance calender from Anthropologie I bought years ago, because the pages had an old parchment quality), threw in some pheasant feathers (I did have to buy them, but they weren't much), and a vintage paint brush I had around the house. Wa La... a cheap and cheerful center piece.</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrOSbfivGlk0TZNnFX6P-UTAHkOjzaOup-TEWBzb0HvNToB0ClQOBKKzPkeTTdLV4kw_KA5gB6NpSpnuy6yIwbaHOPT6T_YEZZszSNolPALan49xlKDyu6V4LoZd2kx0NalfRY2RUgKekQ/s1600/STP60565.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515365006512595010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrOSbfivGlk0TZNnFX6P-UTAHkOjzaOup-TEWBzb0HvNToB0ClQOBKKzPkeTTdLV4kw_KA5gB6NpSpnuy6yIwbaHOPT6T_YEZZszSNolPALan49xlKDyu6V4LoZd2kx0NalfRY2RUgKekQ/s320/STP60565.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFPMpaFf7jJVaQwV68s9FX2sLF8JLmnC-u75aqD32Y49woNjPnIm9cETp4yiqSc0YgTgZBPpe_pgHEVimK6ccRCy8ax66PZNXtj5UylKbV2Z01vH1Ia6jHXMEPokxWvBkFKy3zOC3hIv3L/s1600/STP60566.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515365001210610338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFPMpaFf7jJVaQwV68s9FX2sLF8JLmnC-u75aqD32Y49woNjPnIm9cETp4yiqSc0YgTgZBPpe_pgHEVimK6ccRCy8ax66PZNXtj5UylKbV2Z01vH1Ia6jHXMEPokxWvBkFKy3zOC3hIv3L/s320/STP60566.JPG" /></a><br />Here is a no money change, some lavender (ok I know everyone has potpourri, or can get some cheap, I had this in a baggy doing nothing), Pour it in these apothecary jar I had (try a glass bowl, or silver platter), and added some watch faces.

After all why should the big designer stores get your money, you use whatever you buy from them for a month, maybe two, then toss it or have to find a place to store it.

I took some time from glamming up Gracie to show you some of the things I'll be taking for my glam camping (a friend told me that's what all the magazines are calling it). This the outdoor dining set I'm taking, I know it's white (wait until you see the inside of Gracie).

Tell you more on that later. Today is build out day (basically all the molding and anything else that requires carpentry is going to happen today). So that will keep me busy. </div><div align="center">This morning while drinking coffee I felt like a small project (just what I need another project). So I looked around the house and decided this space needed something. I thought a quiet corner.</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wRtn8mAAqlr_ips1sDVCBywl3q6tAtTzsJIbwkB8iSffCCAeRB7gVIHNzGBmcI70c7BV2lj83Z-6iU0EBzxWR0AA2jazwS1HL5hL0Lrw2G-GlpBD9afCGJUQgz8SyVwvWckBUlhY5fgU/s1600/STP60521.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513043429945575058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wRtn8mAAqlr_ips1sDVCBywl3q6tAtTzsJIbwkB8iSffCCAeRB7gVIHNzGBmcI70c7BV2lj83Z-6iU0EBzxWR0AA2jazwS1HL5hL0Lrw2G-GlpBD9afCGJUQgz8SyVwvWckBUlhY5fgU/s320/STP60521.JPG" /></a> So I cleaned off the top of this dresser, and the memo board. I put out these zinc candleholders and silver tray (which I already had).

I designed and had this piece built for a local shop, black did fall into her palette. So after a year of no orders (plenty of interest), I decided to pull all the pieces. After some debate with myself (I know you do the same thing too), I decided not to paint it and to put it here. Sometimes you have to throw a zinger, this is mine. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVo2t3tuKrOMwaxNs3t8pEb_mQJVxrFmzaQQ4yHsu94vY1VJFlOcMTc7qmZGvKmRiwHSXuSOJ0UF89Z-pAn65ntYrBRpwxKUiFF2FW5a2xAnjmU4aP-J1E-EwzPrsT2pRysIKRhZJvv0Qi/s1600/STP60540.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513043412156561874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVo2t3tuKrOMwaxNs3t8pEb_mQJVxrFmzaQQ4yHsu94vY1VJFlOcMTc7qmZGvKmRiwHSXuSOJ0UF89Z-pAn65ntYrBRpwxKUiFF2FW5a2xAnjmU4aP-J1E-EwzPrsT2pRysIKRhZJvv0Qi/s320/STP60540.JPG" /></a> And a little white rose to top everything off. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLrRsbWpLWDffdSk5kfHFqfK23IDtbpzxEq9_ntzj6-6Mq5C5jUgHtBIkxeTLvuly33zSFaWvEVpas4Om9k_sbQmcyiJ0htWHpcOyjqajyTPZ_UILh0Yt3ngDjbmWn3gW7MdUAmqxtguh/s1600/STP60542.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513043406025486178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLrRsbWpLWDffdSk5kfHFqfK23IDtbpzxEq9_ntzj6-6Mq5C5jUgHtBIkxeTLvuly33zSFaWvEVpas4Om9k_sbQmcyiJ0htWHpcOyjqajyTPZ_UILh0Yt3ngDjbmWn3gW7MdUAmqxtguh/s320/STP60542.JPG" /></a>Ok now I'm getting back to work.

I've been busy working on the BCOW (For those not in the know Beach Cottage On Wheels). It has been a lot of work and a lot more coming up. Right now its in the shop getting a ceiling panel replaced from past water damage. Yes I knew about it and am ok with it (because it is fixed, and hasn't leaked since I have had it).

Yayyyy!!!! its Make It For Monday. I've been waiting for this Make It For Monday all week. Well I told you last Monday in my post that I was working on doing a Swedish garden room. Well I did do it, but because of space it couldn't be the garden room I wanted. Then I realised my budget was limited also, so no big budget makeover here (I ended up shopping the house for a lot of things). One thing I can say I love the results. </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1QhD0Ax5cOIPq5YQQfn55KQWNl5z_YRfKpHLi-l-xpcD2WzPmhbtMPCBUvdbhfMWgUA7dev5kwuUePrddzSbnOXgb0hGPC-omWI9Igcqj7mzEoTQywVg_sXq3_GUplqIkdTmHDkWAt4qI/s1600/STP60463.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510963999059113570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1QhD0Ax5cOIPq5YQQfn55KQWNl5z_YRfKpHLi-l-xpcD2WzPmhbtMPCBUvdbhfMWgUA7dev5kwuUePrddzSbnOXgb0hGPC-omWI9Igcqj7mzEoTQywVg_sXq3_GUplqIkdTmHDkWAt4qI/s320/STP60463.JPG" /></a> This is what I started with an enclosed room off my kitchen, never really used for anything....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhevNGyn0WlMFRz-iK-KzCXtyj1bGV8d_xMyn2NkQvaOCVwF1HJLAhyphenhyphenWDbJFGTcYQc9mCwcQI_hRKPWdrvL48RzDaQ_7ySd3x6kngJQgtAwaRe7sM7_xFB_IyZlXn7Ghtczt4OX-FEGOO4y/s1600/STP60497.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510963996655997922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhevNGyn0WlMFRz-iK-KzCXtyj1bGV8d_xMyn2NkQvaOCVwF1HJLAhyphenhyphenWDbJFGTcYQc9mCwcQI_hRKPWdrvL48RzDaQ_7ySd3x6kngJQgtAwaRe7sM7_xFB_IyZlXn7Ghtczt4OX-FEGOO4y/s320/STP60497.JPG" /></a> Here it is.......<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1dpc_MxioDtHGDqiBo2V3bzqoHUOHByQ6IQVGaHNIEp8lZ76I-D27W9vFxUFET-XCdLapzpdXMcO4rBw3VKDk0GH57545vOFCnpi25sHbk_zyxBj0yN9kFeL0bPZofke22Qhzszg_HVpY/s1600/STP60504.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510963989026564658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1dpc_MxioDtHGDqiBo2V3bzqoHUOHByQ6IQVGaHNIEp8lZ76I-D27W9vFxUFET-XCdLapzpdXMcO4rBw3VKDk0GH57545vOFCnpi25sHbk_zyxBj0yN9kFeL0bPZofke22Qhzszg_HVpY/s320/STP60504.JPG" /></a>My little Swedish jewel box (I had to change the name, this name seemed to fit better).

This White Wednesday I wanted to do something different and not show a piece of furniture or anything else like that. I wanted to show you the pearls I bought for my grandmother from the show this past weekend. My grandmother always wanted a set of pearls for as long as I can remember. My grandfather didn't make that much money working as a foreman, and running our small part time farm. Plus us kids and grandkids always needing something. So she put her desires to have a pearl necklace on hold. She never complained and never resented it. We still cooked and cleaned together. We did art projects and sewed, she never once let on. She remained happy, and I one day asked if there was anything she wanted, and she said I have everything I want and need, if God thinks I need more he will give it to me. She never let on about a special pearl necklace just for herself. My grandfather just recently passed, I decided to continue on and finish what he would have wanted to do himself. I hope she loves them.....</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcK9gbBoM735hLjE_NvUpvssn8ej4uaJF7QflWuswkfRcTyTwLQJ4p_96XosUrb5cmPiPiQo_DN0_C0nD_LkPHLb-WOBIgIYDrKOlbMj3X9a1rDLKGjlXySJ0CXfVKgL3zXSLxN2EVX5Hj/s1600/STP60454.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506721540225111058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcK9gbBoM735hLjE_NvUpvssn8ej4uaJF7QflWuswkfRcTyTwLQJ4p_96XosUrb5cmPiPiQo_DN0_C0nD_LkPHLb-WOBIgIYDrKOlbMj3X9a1rDLKGjlXySJ0CXfVKgL3zXSLxN2EVX5Hj/s320/STP60454.JPG" /></a> Every grandmother needs a set of pearls.

I always get a mix of feeling about it being over. In one respect I like doing the show, and talking and having fun with other dealers. On the other hand its a lot of work. I'm relaxing today and cleaning my house, nothing else to do today being its kind of misty and rainy. I feel kind of melancholy, so I might as well keep busy. I want to show you my best purchase at the show, my newest crown. As you all know I love crowns (I try to keep the number down, after all I think the Queen of England would have a hard time keeping up with me if I got everyone I loved). This is the same type that Shabby Chic used to have (I love Shabby Chic the store, but I'm not paying $200.00 for a crown. I'm an addict, not insane). Every time I would go in there I wanted one, but could not justify that much money for a tcokche (I hope I spelled it right). So I said to myself I'll get it one day. When I started doing Scott's I noticed in Amy's booth she had the same crown for a lot less. It took me a while to do it, but I finally just went for it, I'm glad I did. It looks perfect on the coffee table in the silver bowl with the shells (where the smaller crown was). </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUwxUQrJxUHVYz7UJYQa1sZsWac7AS8nS8fHeV2ldld6yPNSrbawVRzXBYHeJhTqscgDT9Y3_98NUZC8Jwa5vFk2hYz7bobsOeC45OpImwHD7bJ3wu9drvAdshF7HjozS7Av789jwjaQg3/s1600/STP60442.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506357531080393794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUwxUQrJxUHVYz7UJYQa1sZsWac7AS8nS8fHeV2ldld6yPNSrbawVRzXBYHeJhTqscgDT9Y3_98NUZC8Jwa5vFk2hYz7bobsOeC45OpImwHD7bJ3wu9drvAdshF7HjozS7Av789jwjaQg3/s320/STP60442.JPG" /></a> Great old rusty details and the stones look old also.

Well its Scotts time again, I hope to get some blogging in the rest of the week, we'll see. I did want to do White Wednesday for sure. Welcome to my Swedish style bench in my conservatory (I could say sun porch, but I love the romance of the word). I know pics are coming, right now I have a French settee in there, that's not suppose to be there. Garage time for that little beauty (I know before and afters of that also, I got a really great deal on it). Back to the bench, it has a surprise.... It was really a headboard and footboard in the trash. It was a couple of years ago, I was picking up a friend for lunch and spied it. I couldn't get it right then, so though lunch that was all I could think about. After lunch I bee lined right to it, just in time to snatch it from the trash man. He even helped me get it in my car (talk about a close call). I had seen in a magazine how to turn headboards and footboards into benches, so now was my chance. </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM7BUqAz0gKSh1_khgcKlrA17uorjj56nifhaLz1MOeRGVy_uEhKZp9nwiBaJiktcxCNqOXON5rQkD6lN7Qo0O2rSqH35P7eMzR0K5Us072tch2yFYUznRq9A9LVaQCjNwf0BkF0mM-cx2/s1600/STP60438.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504149791983366562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM7BUqAz0gKSh1_khgcKlrA17uorjj56nifhaLz1MOeRGVy_uEhKZp9nwiBaJiktcxCNqOXON5rQkD6lN7Qo0O2rSqH35P7eMzR0K5Us072tch2yFYUznRq9A9LVaQCjNwf0BkF0mM-cx2/s320/STP60438.JPG" /></a> I added details because all the details were taken off of it. I don't like doing that, but it did need something. Chopped the footboard in half, perfect arms. Added a skirt and a deck, some white paint and wa la done (Ok it wasn't that easy, but wouldn't you like to think that).<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxD8PWEBwsHKzetoHaLHdqHeGce8V0Ra14PEVNHaeU3pJ27H85wKt0dt3rH9tR_ngDwP-qq5JsV0VeGe5L4X2QBTK3QcoKJBB0T4j0UZJ8XTmep-NNdgHwyWMvmpBh8yGVnMaS2OXZXp5p/s1600/STP60439.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504149785526941378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxD8PWEBwsHKzetoHaLHdqHeGce8V0Ra14PEVNHaeU3pJ27H85wKt0dt3rH9tR_ngDwP-qq5JsV0VeGe5L4X2QBTK3QcoKJBB0T4j0UZJ8XTmep-NNdgHwyWMvmpBh8yGVnMaS2OXZXp5p/s320/STP60439.JPG" /></a> Some fluffy pillows, for napping.....

From my previous post you all know I have a BCOW (Beach Cottage On Wheels). I haven't done anything to it yet except buy pretty things for it. I want to show the pretty and whimsical teapot I bought for the BCOW. This is the service I'm using for my morning tea and coffee. I know very fun and maybe not so practical, but I love the fact it not what anyone is going to expect. Silver teapot, ironstone sugar and cremer, and white little bistro cups. What says camping more than that? (LOL) Oh and the white tray just tops it off. I really wanted the BCOW to have a French beach cottage feel, so I have been moving towards the French, but still have the beach part in mind. Like white slipcovers (Yummm), and a white beadboard headboard with a French surprise (wait and see its going to be great).</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfiGnRVunQzevhkj7JQaF3b4sX1mg3UENtjklt-IswDLowoU-1Vkj1fnl8eMqcHDZtOJCNZbz1_7_ZPkQXP0RvILB3GM8XgK5xIVqrzqILl7wVDUo_JRnWJWpQdbq2lg2T8kGKkyse4IN/s1600/STP60426.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502659993879218850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfiGnRVunQzevhkj7JQaF3b4sX1mg3UENtjklt-IswDLowoU-1Vkj1fnl8eMqcHDZtOJCNZbz1_7_ZPkQXP0RvILB3GM8XgK5xIVqrzqILl7wVDUo_JRnWJWpQdbq2lg2T8kGKkyse4IN/s320/STP60426.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTfgo5k90uuahPSUfA7chdTDq4IP7P8mVRXnoi_iKTIy696vi9hzILDUUafQ0mY7rVgtjWNXzKqcIo6hMPNXbNxRhdxNBkc1i7oDFxalPaEsKjCR-Bp8bwxKPc9xfVgjKm0qEgq6G3UswN/s1600/STP60427.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502659986342310882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTfgo5k90uuahPSUfA7chdTDq4IP7P8mVRXnoi_iKTIy696vi9hzILDUUafQ0mY7rVgtjWNXzKqcIo6hMPNXbNxRhdxNBkc1i7oDFxalPaEsKjCR-Bp8bwxKPc9xfVgjKm0qEgq6G3UswN/s320/STP60427.JPG" /></a> The teapot by itself......

This post is for White Wednesday at <a href="http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/">http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/</a>, check out the great birdhouse, too cute. This White Wednesday I just wanted a peaceful post. So I want to show you where I sit when I do sit outside (Too Hot right now for that). I usually like to sit and read, watching the dog play in the back. As you can see my love of all things white even extends out here. That is a little decking I bought at Ikea a couple of years ago, and yes the bench is from Ikea too. A couple of pillows and it is very comfortable. A little wrought iron table I painted white (of course), and another Ikea find, the tray (it was already white). My miniature rose bush (white blooms of course), planted in a concrete planter (no I didn't paint it white, I did think about it though).

Its that time again White Wednesday. For more White Wednesday go see Kathleen at <a href="http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/">http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/</a> there is always good inspiration there and check out her front porch (I love it). For this White Wednesday I decided to show you my new coffee table, I really like it. It has a great marble top and a can of Martha Stewart paint (white of course), now I have a new coffee table.

So I did it, I got an Etsy store. I'm excited about it. If you are interested in visiting my seller name is petitemaison770, I plan on having a lot of fun there too. Here are three of the items I'm selling (Well truth be told they are the only items I'm selling). Three great pillow covers, they are 26 x 26, the down inserts are sold separately, or you can do your own inserts(This keeps the shipping cost down). Yes I made them with my own two hands (I did have the images put on the fabric by the printer). The images are from antique lithographs, so there is no copyright infringement(Don't you hate when you get sued.......). They are made from raw linen for more of a French flea market look.
