The post lady just arrived with a book i had ordered the other day after reading Amy's design book review here at Maison Decor.... if you have not read Amy's blog you really should pop over and take a peek she is a designer and her home is very beautiful......my text is black and grey best sort that out when i get home :)
The book i chose was 'Hers' by Jacqueline deMontravel isn't that a fabulous name? i just said "Hello i'm Jaqueline deMontravel' it sounds really chic!......... try it? but say the Ja in Jacqueline how you would say the j'a in j'adore ;)
I am really looking forward to reading 'Hers' in about ooohh an hour on my way to the beach cottage....i am also taking 'Shabby Chic Inspirations' and 'Romantic Prairie Style'....... oh and my trusty quilted faded stripey beach bag......
I had a quick flick through 'Hers' and it looks beautiful..........
I need this pink table its lovely......i really like the white of the room and then the pop of the pink table and accessorizes.......
In Shabby Chic Inspirations there is a piece covered in raised china flowers and i thought i have two pieces similar,a footed bowl and an ink well that i laid on the left page to show you........
The ink well flowers are pretty similar....can you imagine writing a letter to a friend by candle light and using a piece like this? so romantic i think......
When i first started my blog we bought a pine dresser top and Steve made a bottom for it to sit on to make a large wall dresser....... i then painted it and this was the result...... after seeing a picture on tumblr.......
I am going to re paint the dresser as i love the colours of the one below and i think it will really work at the beach cottage.....
Steve just told me i have an hour so i better make sure i have my camera in my bag and all my things together.....we are knocking out the room that is going to be our bathroom this week and glazing the internal doors with clear glass....
Have a lovely weekend what ever you are doing and i will see you soon.....
The End XxX

Have a fun working weekend. I think the piece will look great with the new color choice. That being said, I really like the color it is now, too. xo Diana
With such inspiration, I can see where you get your ideas, and better yet, you are able to realize your dream. I love, love, love the piece that you created with the pine dresser. I just do not have that creativity. I do have an old door that I salvaged from the old farm house where I grew. We sold the house and I stole the door. It is white--yellowish, aged white-- with a dozen glass pains. So I want my husband to build a cupboard for the door for dishes or the vintage dolls that I have. I must have him get to it! You inspire me.
I do enjoy visiting your blog - even if it was just for the music, but you post lovely things too.
Lots of eye-candy in those books. Makes me itch to start on my living room.
As for the dresser in the last pic - OH! OH! OH! xx
Someday I am coming up to your beach house!! I hope you like the book~HERS. I did. Is that the new Shabby Chic book? Your item looked just like the one in the book! I think your hutch looked adorable....I pinned the pic of the hutch you found on Tumbler....so much to love, right? I know how to glaze windows too, you and Steve are living the dream in my humble opinion. Nothing better than fixing up a house!
Love the kitchen with the pink table, its very simple, but still so pretty! Think I may have to rethink my kitchen ideas - again! Have a lovely weekend :) x
