~swedish inspiration~

hello everyone!

I can see blue sky from here!!!!

can you believe it?

I should run outside & soak it up.....

but first ~ a little inspiration for us all....

these photos are just pure eye candy!

in one of my recent posts I told you all

I could not get enough white & chippy...

what is it about it??  white chippy w/

exposed wood makes my heart beat faster!!

add some urns and chandeliers and

I'm through the roof!

;)

And I haven't even gotten to grey painted

floors....holy moly.....

vintage french baskets, tattered linens,

painted stools......oh baby...

throw in a little ironstone, some weathered

wood tables and slipcovered sofas...

ok...I'll get a grip.....but seriously....

yum.

I do like the swedish style of mixing

in slightly contemporary chairs & whatnot

with all the rustic....but I haven't tried that yet....

what about you?

I'm still way too in love with french style

chairs....not quite ready to make that leap...

but I'm thinking about it for our island in our kitchen...

oh..... you say.....you didn't realize we had one?

well we don't....YET....but I recently purchased one

at Monticello Antique mall.....oh it's yummy girls....

white CHIPPY (but of course...) iron

industrial cart w/ WHEELS that lock....

can't wait to show you....I'll pick it up probably next

week! woo-hoo!! :)

I got a couple other goodies too...

that I'll show you in my next post....

oh how about a little mercury glass?

can't get enough....

don't know if any of you remember my

stairs post??

well ~ finally finally finally got them

done!  holy cow girls....how long does

it take to get somethin' done around here??

hee hee....

{a very long time apparently....when Mr. T & T

is extremely busy & Mrs. T & T has a linen

shoppe to run! ;) }

so I will be painting & distressing them

very shortly and

showing them all to you......really can't wait!

I "promised" {my idea of course....}

to get dinner ready at a reasonable time

tonight......{sheesh...the pressure....}

so I gotta run....

talk to you all soon!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

xoxo,

Shellagh
