Junk Chic Cottage

Open House Tour: Cabin Fever

"Baby it's cold outside" so I am staying inside and having some cabin fever so I  thought I would do a little blogging with room tours.  Since I have been taking each day and deep cleaning and rearranging things for a new fresh " new year" look I thought I would post some of my home with you every couple of days as I get the rooms done.

 I am going to start with my Master Bedroom as the first room I show you.  This is a close up of my headboard that my wonderful husband made for me out of old vintage doors.  He framed them and then used crown molding to finish them.  I love that these hung in old homes and saw many family members and friends pass through them. Love the history in things!!!!

Old chippy post my husband made into a jewelry hanger. Used old door knobs for the hangers. Love this again that history is re purposed into my home.

Old vintage fencing made into a chandelier and then old telephone wire insulator bulbs that hold candles.  I got this little treasure at Tattered Tiques.  Makes for a very romantic bedroom.

My bedroom is my sanctuary.  I find total peace in here. Love my ipad on the night stand.  I find total peace(ha ha!) at night looking at blogs and of course pinterest when I get into bed!!!!!

 

My little ipad on the night stand awaiting my arrival!!! I need to find some kind of cute little ipad holder for that. The phone too why can't they make those things cute??!! At least my reading glasses have a cute vintage vase girl to hold them.



No cottage bedroom is complete without a basset hound.  Libby likes to be in the pictures.  I said ok since she matches the decor!!!!!!

My old armoire that hides the TV and my old white vintage suitcases and old chippy shabby chair. I hung new drapes on this window as you can see in the picture above. These striped ones are gone and replaced with the burlap and ruffle ones above.

Love this old chippy folding chair that I found in the garbage. That is right someone threw out this lovely chippy sweetie!   I have no shame in garbage picking and re purposing beauties like these.

 

Cottage master bathroom suite off the master bedroom. I love that this bathroom had enough space for a make up table.

 This shows one of the chandeliers that hang in this bathroom with lampshades.  I took them off for a more simple look as you will see in the next few pictures.

Old chippy stand found it's way into this bathroom.

I love chandeliers hung in the bathroom for pretty lighting.

 

Old chippy arched window

  out of an old church.  Again lots of history. It gives a statement all by itself. Round mirror from Home Goods and the skinny sink and cabinet was from Home Depot that I painted  white and distressed it.  I wish the milk paint was out before I did this piece.  It would have probably been easier to get the chippy look with milk paint then painting and sanding.

 

We have a double shower in this master suite. I hung two shower curtains over the glass doors for a more cottage and less modern feel.



That was my master bedroom suite  and bath where I find comfort and peace each evening.  The sun comes into this room all the day and the picture window looks out to the garden in the back.  I love this room especially in the summer months.  Every couple of days I will post another room as I continue through my deep cleaning and rearranging of each room.  So stay tuned!!!!
