The Tin Can Cottage: re-do

My Updated Look ...

The Changes are Big and Small...

Some BEFORE...

Before Any Slipcovers at All...

Then...my Mary Engelbreit beginnings...

Painted the Chandelier I had already, originally, brown/antique finish...

Painted it out White to go with my Shabby Chic Look

I had "new" Slipcovers made from "old" Vintage Chenille Bedspreads that were passed down

to me from from My Grandmother

Thanx to Donna at Vintage Chic Furniture out of Schenetchty , New York

(Click on Vintage Chic Furniture or see Link on my left sidebar)

I found her through....Etsy....of course....

I love the way they turned out...

Still need a couple Pillow Inserts....smooshy...

All the Curtain Tie-Backs

These were made from the vintage bedspread I sent...so Frilly...

Changed out the candle light holders on the chandelier paper tubes, painted the "dollar store" wicker shade covers white and just photo copied prints of the curtain fabric put on the tubes and decoupaged around...

photocopied fabric pints and re-framed them to pick up fabric in the kitchen

Some Kitchen Views

Added two vintage clip-on earrings to the tiebacks at the kitchen Curtains...and My Love for Topiaries comes into my Trailer...

I have one in almost every room of my home..

Inside and Out...Can't seem to get enough of them...

Can

notice the two Vintage syroco scrolled candle sconces...on either side of the couches

...they were gold as found, took off the candle holder, shabby chic'd them out white and set them on their side

to add a nice scrolled decorative touch to match the mirror and shelf adding some white to

bring everything together

Love Bird Salt and Pepper Shakers, not vintage...but lovely just the same

Some scrap fabric I had in my stash

just enough to cover my micro-wave and basket of pots and pans

Vintage Avon Parakeet and Canary Perfume Bottles

I just love how the light shines through them...

Look at this lovely Shabby Chic hanging organizer I found

It Really comes in Handy for all the essentials...like toothbrush, paste, shampoo, cream and such

Outside View from the Back...notice my New "TinCan Cottage" decal...

purchased it from a lovely seller on Etsy, of course

My Outdoor Kitchen

Still need an outdoor rug....still looking for just the perfect one...

First Glamping Trip of the Season Earlier this Month....

Next trip will by the week after Fourth of July Weekend ...

Thanx for Stopping by

Have a Wonderful Holiday Weekend
