TOH: Shabby chic

First of all let me start by congratulating all the couples in the US who can now marry thanks to a stunningly intelligent decision by the Supreme Court.

It's about damn time.

And to those who are against gay marriage let me say this: Come talk to me when gay marriage actually does something to hurt you. When it burns down your house or injures your children or steals all your money and takes the food out of your mouth. Until that happens, you've GOT NOTHING to say so pack up your toys and go home. You're drunk.

Now, on to the beach cottage!

Not the best picture of it, but the plumbing hardware has been installed in the shower. Toilet and sink have been painted. Lots more to do in this small room but it's shaping up.

 

I painted and distressed the living room end table - came out pretty good for DIY shabby chic.

 

 

The kitchen chairs - same thing, plus some cushions in a fabric that compliments the table cloth.

 

The appliances have been repainted too - less country kitchen, more shabby chic!

 

Today I may tackle the display cabinet and the coffee table. The small pieces I did turned out so well, I feel confident enough to try the larger ones to really complete the look I'm going for.
