Cottage Style


OK, I'll play along! My contribution to the Beach Party @ The Shabby Chic Cottage is my BEACH sign...the authentic barnwood is rustic and warm and the blue really POPS!

This sign posted on my Etsy site www.sophisticatedsalvage.etsy.com and is on sale for $11. If I close my eyes, I can almost hear the sounds of the surf...

Happy Hunting!

Before & After


This small desk area in my farmhouse kitchen was well-used and well-loved, but also well-cluttered. After a quick clean-up, I saw I had good bones to work with....


Voila! A little black & white print (from a shower curtain, no less!) spruces up the memo board as well as a matching curtain to hide the cord clutter and shredder. A quick pick-me-up on a Saturday afternoon...perfect.

Happy Hunting!

Quote of the Day

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

This is one of my favorite quotes...it motivates me and keeps me on track! That and a heavy dose of meds! *wink*wink*

C.S. Lewis said that "Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement."

So know that if you run into a dead-end, it's just a hop*skip*jump to the next road!

Enjoy the path you are on, take the good with the bad, the success with the failure but never, EVER, stop getting back up.

Happy Hunting,
Vonnie
