Cottage & Family:
creams

I just love to go in to Pottery Barn to get inspiration ~
The other day when I was in there they were all ready for
spring with beautiful plants in all of their vignettes ~

I have to admit I was kind of surprised that they
used fake plants and I really LOVED them !

So my girls and I decided to be on the hunt for real
plants and some fake ones too ~
We found some cute fake ones at Michaels and
then some real ones at the nursery ~

I love how they bring some color in
to my neutral palette ~

One thing I really notice this year is that Pottery Barn
is using alot of flea market looking things ~
I love how they use old books, old ladders,
vintage bottles, chippy frames
and shelves ~
Things we have all loved for quite awhile :)
You can even buy some wayyyy cool old looking stuff
on their website ~

These are just some pictures of my work in
progress redecorating ~

These next pictures aren't my house but I love them ~

These are pictures from their catalog showing alot of
greenery and old books ~
Their website is full of tons of tips and ideas too !!

I have been in love with creams for quite awhile now,

which you can probably tell by my website

and blog if you have been following me :)

For awhile we have had a pretty much

pinky and white shabby chic style home but I wanted

to redecorate so we are slowly

but surely taking room by room ~

I have always loved to change stuff!!

Anyway, so I decided to go from my complete

white white things

to creams but still keep some white here and there ~

I got a wild hair to tea dye

our white slipcovered sofa and chair in the bathtub ~

It came out cool but truly, a whitish couch with dogs and

well ..... pretty much people too, doesn't work too well ~

I also took some white wood pieces that I had and made

them a creamy color and

really love how they came out!!

Then I wanted to change my wall decor

behind my couch but am kind of

on a personal challenge to not spend alot of money ~

Sooo.... I dug in my own stash

of stuff I have had around waiting for a new home

and created something completely new with

stuff getting really dusty out in my shop ~

It has been so much fun and even more fun

recreating with what I already had!!

After Christmas is over and my decorations are down

I will show you

my new mantel decor and other things ~

Over the weekend I went to the sale at Cottage Panache and fell in love with all of her gorgeous things in her shop ~

I got to get some of Lisa's wonderful treasures before she sold out ~

Soooo I have always been a pink shabby chic girl but Oh my gosh my heart skips a beat over creams and tarnished silver ~

Rene at Miss Gracie's House has me completely inspired to redo my bedroom, well whole house, in creamy yumminess ~

I have noticed that alot that I get for my website has these colors too ~ I will never get away from a little touch of pink though as you can see from the pictures ~

The last post showed some of the things I was working on and these are some of the things I got over the weekend and just listed at Katies Rose Cottage ~

I just love the soft and relaxing feel of this look ~

These are a couple of our necklaces that have the same look even though we have more than this at Katies Rose Cottage Designs ~

The teapot necklace is new ~
