Smiles Everyone!
Last week I shared how we took an ugly bookcase to a cottage charmer!
Want to see how we transformed her? Check it out here!
Isn't she pretty - she needs a little prettying up!
I just love it, and pulled all rooms colors in.
It look me about 4 hours before I felt everything worked and felt "balanced".
Warming - tons of pictures to follow!

The middle....
The right side...since this photo I "mirrored" the 2nd shelf to the left.
I used my bird collection, a few of my faves....two Blue birds, left is a Royal Copley, Lefton on right..
A Lefton Blue Jay...
A Lefton Robin...
A Royal Copley Chicken...
Another Lefton Blue Jay...
I made a few changes...filled the vase with some of my garden's flowers, and added the little birdcage.
The flowers are John Cabot Rose, Sundrops (yellow), a Hydrangea flower, and a few Pentas, played with a rose picture here too.
I found this cute rustic basket and loved how it looked with fern inside. Added the rose sugar bow..
Don't ya just love it!

Yes I do love it so when you are tired of it feel free to send it my way tee hee hee
It might be a while before I tire of it, but I will keep you in mind. it really turned out so much better than i expected.
Very nice job! I love how the trim changed the whole look of it. Nice legs!
I think the trimmed out legs are what really made the different. If we haven't done that it would look near as good. I am a leg girl.
Beautiful job, looks wonderful!
Thanks so much I am so very happy with it myself.
It's so charming! I love all the colors you pulled in, and the BIRDS are wonderful!
Definitely a smile-maker!
It is charming isn't it, she fits in so beautifully with our home. I love the birds, like looking at them every day!
It looks absolutely grand. Well done!
Thanks, it was worth all the work.
I do just love it-great job. I'm not going at putting stuff together like that-when I try it always just looks messy.
Vignettes do not come easy to me either. I must of worked on it for over 4 hours. I do like how it turned out.
This is a work of art, I love it!
Wow, that's a pretty big complement! I love it also!
I love your bookcase and all the accessorizing is wonderful! You've really got a great piece of furniture to showcase your finds!
Now I love looking at her, not before though! Thanks
