Lots of Chippy Goodness

Happy Sunday.  I thought I would share some little changes in my dining room with spring cleaning and getting ready for summer.  I wanted to bring in my love of gardening to the inside decor.


I found a new spot for this chippy white chair until I can take her outside to the garden this summer.



I wanted to show you the Madonna and rosaries I got on my trip to Massachusetts.

I loved this old french bottle with the Madonna on it.  I also found a sweet rosary at Nesting the shop in Concord, Ma.



The bottle was so pretty and the little angel wings I had gotten awhile back from 
Rosemary at Villa Barnes.  


I have hung my spring love birds cage on the old windows dividing the kitchen from the dining room.


Rehung my Honey 4 Sale sign over the old chippy windows and added a wreath and bird to the sign for a summer look.





As many of you know I love my old vintage bike that I just redid the flower bike basket for summer.  

I used this old foot board with chalk paint to hang my garden hat and garden basket .  I love that I can change up the sign with chalk.

I love bringing a little bit of my summer garden inside the house.

My old garden boots that I painted a light yellow and put daisy's in them and a cute little robins nest.
I recently found this old picket fence piece and brought it in to put in front of the mirror on my mantel for summer.

My wreath with the robins nest hangs on the old picket fence.  I love bringing the feel of summer into the house.  I am getting excited to start the outdoor flower garden and mixing in old vintage pieces with the flowers.  Just waiting on our midwest weather to stay warm enough to start outside gardening.
Hope you have a great start to the week ahead.
Thanks for your visit.
Kris

  6. Kris,
    Everything looks summery and pretty capturing the outside light in your walls of white. I too love Madonna's,your newly found bottle is gorgeous and being the palest blue pops. I collect rosaries, all are from friends and family members who I adored and were given to me when they passed. So my collection is both feminine and masculine in color and feel. My favorite belonged to John's grandmother who lived to 102. Hers is all crystal beads with sterling silver. It beautifully reflects the light and sends peaceful rays that dazzle the walls.

    I always enjoy seeing how you take your lovely found treasures and put them throughout your house in fun and whimsical vignettes. Your home is a happy home and shows your love and personality.

    I hope you are feeling better today and the congestion was just from being at the Flea Market and pollen.
    Happy Sunday,

  8. So pretty and summery. The weather has been snowbird ... even for us Southerners. We had storms every afternoon this week, and full blown storms Friday and Saturday. ALL day, rain thunder, wind. Wet and cool. Today thankfully is sweet and sunny!
    Here's to some normalcy!

I love how you always change things up and the picket fence is so pretty on the mantel...Truly a summer's day feeling in the rooms...and if I had to pic a fav vignette, it would be the bike and the chalkboard sign...I feel as though it is a scene from a beautiful summer morning on Nantucket !!..

  26. Love your fresh spring/summer look. I have always adored that bike with the basket of flowers, my granddaughter gave me her old bike when she left for college so I'm thinking of painting it and adding a basket of flowers too.

  35. I love the honey sign. So stinking cute.

  36. Great, fresh looks, Kris. I know it takes a lot of time to make it all just right, too. I love the Madonna and rosaries. I am the one in Panoply that always seems to rescue the religious relics. We grew up Catholic, and May is the month celebrating the Virgin Mary and, traditionally, there was always a big deal around the May crowning - wherein one student was chosen (how, I don't remember, would have to ask my older sisters) to be crowned the May queen. All the little girls receiving their first communion (typically 2nd graders) would be the processional attendants to the May queen. Have a great week!

  38. I SO wish I still had my rosary from my first communion - have no idea where it went but it was gorgeous!
    And I just adore that picket fence in your mantel Kris - what a fabulous idea !
    Your boots look white on my screen - not pale yellow - but they're soooo pretty filled with flowers - I have an old pair
    I should do this with ( except I actually still wear them - cracks and all LOL )
    Have a wonderful Monday - talk later !
    XOXO

  51. I was reading an article this morning about someone who is trying to build a tele-transportation device. If he succeeds, I will be the first person in line to purchase one and have your entire home décor transported to Phoenix!! What do you think about that??? Always a delight to see what you have designed/created!

  52. Enjoyed seeing your decor, Kris. Do you arrange flowers yourself? I would love to learn how to do that. Thanks for inspiring me to START my spring cleaning. lol

  54. Hi Kris! I'm working on my living room and came to Junk Chic Cottage for inspiration. I wasn't disappointed. You have such wonderful ideas. My favorite--I think-- is the bike--but I love it all. Maybe I could bring my bike indoors?
