Yay !!! We have had wonderful warm weather the last couple of days soooo I recruited my sweet husband to paint ~ he has been painting a bunch of wonderful things that I have found at flea markets and estate sales over the last couple of weeks ~ they would make awesome gifts for Christmas coming soon or they would be perfect for your shabby cottage chic decor ~ Here is an example of a few things we have added to Katies Rose Cottage but there is a bunch more there ~
I just love vintage wood chippy frames ~ they add such a wonderful charm to any cottage chic, shabby chic and romantic decor ~ We have just added some to our Vintage Finds category along with some chippy wood petite mirrors ~

Welcome to my new very girly office !!!
I decided to make my oldest daughter's room, who got married, into my office ~ My office has been in my bedroom for the last 5 years, so it is wonderful to have a room of my own to make shabby girly cottage chic !!!! It was yellow and the first thing I did was paint it my favorite color pink ~
Then I added some things that I have been collecting for awhile ~ it is so funny because I have collected things for my office for so long that I had way over the amount that would fit in the room ~ but..... I am sure that I can find somewhere else for them :o)
I don't think I have told you that today is one of my favorite days of the week!!!~ LOL ~ Flea market day !!! It is so funny because when we moved here, I thought for sure I would get mugged at the flea market ~ I had no idea how awesome it was ~ Well...... needless to say I missed a couple of years of wonderful searching and getting to know some very sweet people ~ it looks really gross but the treasures abound ~You can find most anything you want from shabby cottage chic, antique and wonderful things to recreate ~
Oh my goodness !!! I am so excited to be able to offer to you some canvas prints of one of the most talented rose artists that I have ever seen~ Her name is Kimberly Ryan and her work is absolutely gorgeous !!
~ This is a beautiful" TEA ROSES" original Giclee Print on canvas . This is done in a yard long style and has the prettiest shabby cottage chic colors of pinks, blues and greens . Giclee Canvas prints are so hard to tell from the real thing and can be framed or just hang as is, the canvas is gallery wrapped no staples showing on the sides. Measures 24" x 8".

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 ~
I have always loved to take old pieces from flea markets and recreate them into wonderful cottage chic treasures with paint, distressing and one of my favorite things, appliques ~
I recently found some sweet appliques that I love ~ these are already painted white and have a distressed look so they can be used for so many different things ~ I just go the sweet frames in and I want to tie one with a big pink ribbon and hang it on my bulletin board just because it would be so cute !
You can find these and more in the Create It Yourself category of my website ~
I LOVE these awesome frames that my sweet hubby created !!!
They are wonderfully chippy and romantic, perfect for any shabby cottage chic decor ~ these frames are pretty large measuring 17 x 17 inches ~
I absolutely LOVE this fabric and will be bringing lots of things out of it soon ~ This is my first creation with it, it is a slipcovered lampshade ~ I put in another post that I am loving my pleater for my sewing machine !!!
Well, of course, it has little pleats all around the bottom edge and a big bow in the back ~ I think it came out just sooo shabby cottage chic ~
I finished painting a bunch of pink today ~ All of the boxes that I got at the flea market yesterday have been made sooo shabby cottage chic ~ I LOVE them !!! ~ I am going to list them on my website right now ~
