Idea#2… My Girly Cottage Drawer

OK…

To see idea #1… click here.

Now…

  Idea #2…

Do you remember this old drawer?

I gave it a new back, new handle, painted it and turned it into this.

I showed you a few ideas of how to use this in your home décor.

One of them was to add a few coffee cans with raffia tied around them

which looked like this…

What a cute “cottagey” way to display flowers, herbs… even your pens and pencils!

Well… 

Now… I think my cottage drawer wants to play dress up …

And dress up she did!

Just by adding a hand sewn pleated skirt, made her into a cute

Girly Cottage Drawer!

NOW…

I just have to share with you some fun comments made on the Girly Barn Mirror.

Cute, Clever & Funny:

Yep. That works! So cute - I can see it now. We will all be dressing up our mirrors and trying to out-do one another... but you win with the thrifting husband. All day long? Wow! I'm impressed!

Thanks for the laugh ladies… love them!!

And to all of you…

Thanks For Stoppin’ By!
