A Few Teasers from our Bedroom Re-do

I've been working on a lot of projects and have a little "teaser" for you!

It's a collage of our bedroom's re-do for our recent anniversary. I re-painted and "shabbified" our antique, cast iron bed and dome top trunk, made a little "LOVE" pillow, added a little something extra to our gold, vintage frame, made a new display above our bed and created new vignettes around the room.

So, here's my little "tease!"

Sorry, it's not much...I just want to create a few posts on each project and then post a final reveal of our romantic retreat!

  Love, Hugs and Kisses,

"Glammed Up" White Wicker Mirror

I wasn't crazy over this wicker, heart mirror,bit I thought it had some potential to get

 "all dolled up" and this is how I purchased it...just plain boring.

This is what I was inspired to use.

Opted not to use the jute on it after all, but this is how it turned out.

Wall mirror or vanity tray...

Pretty darn sweet! 

Don't you think?

Gonna go tackle a makeover on our coffee table...it's been waiting for my help :)

Have a Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,

JP

Cottage Chic Photography

I am working on becoming a photographer.

 Not a professional, just someone that can get some great shots to pass along.

And this is a beauty that I am striving to achieve!!!

It's just so crystal clear with that, slightly out of focus, blurred background and foreground that just "POPS." 

I have found plenty of great tips online but, since I'm a real "hands on" person, I'd much rather take a class so all the new info. can really sink in!

Cottage Rose Porcelain Dish 

This candy dish is one of mine that I edited on "Pic Monkey" (another great photo editing site) I think it turned out pretty good. 

Cottage Rose Lithograph

This "vignette" needs some work...more lighting/highlights. I need to do some editing. Time is that interfering factor!!!

Nippon Porcelain Powder Jar

Not bad....but I want that "blur!"

 Cottage Rose Plates

Not perfect yet, just pretty!

Getting there!

Porcelain Powder Shaker

Nahhhh.....gotta get workin' :( 

Guess it's time for me to read up on some of those great tips I have in my "favorites." 

If you're interested and have some time, too....pull up "that chair~up there" and read it with me :)

Here is a great link!

Another "great one"...thanks to "Kevin & Amanda!"

Til next time...Good luck with your photo improving and would love to hear from you!
