I can see this piece in any room, but for some reason I can picture it gracing the room of a baby's nursery????
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and safe holiday!

Finally...some signs....
Wow...It has been a while since I have painted signs. I don't know why, but it is almost therapeutic for me when I do them. I get to sit in front of my TV or listen to my Ipod while painting.
Today I painted 3. Don't know what I was thinking when I used the words, BEACH, OCEAN, and GONE FISHING seeing that it is bitter cold here in CT. I guess wishful thinking....Anyway, here they are:
If anyone is interested, I am selling them for $45 each plus $10 shipping...They are a substantial size...12"x35"

Eclectic chic secretary hutch...
Many of you have heard me talk about my dear friend Debra over at Capers of the Vintage Vixens
...Well this past fall she had a huge Oktoberfest party...So much fun. Anyway, while there I was lucky enough to meet another amazing blogger...Her name is Dee and her blog is French Bleu Vintage. She creates the most gorgeous stuff. The detail is exquisite. But, that being said, she isn't a big fan of painting furniture. She she left that to me. She brought me an old cabinet that was in some need of cheering up.....
She wanted to go with either a white, green, or a red...My recommendation was red, and Dee went with my suggestion...Yay! Here is the final product...

Shabby chic side table~beach house/cottage decor
I KNOW! It has been forever since my last post. I have missed everyone. Unfortunately I have some personal issues I have been dealing with since the summer and it has put painting and decorating on the back burner. But, in the long run, my issues are for the better and despite my stresses, I have never been happier....
That being said, I have a piece of furniture to share with you today...YAY! I found a boring vintage side table at Good will....
A little sprucing and some paint....and voila!
