It's a Bloglovin' party!

Welcome to bloglovin' and blog hopping Thursday once again!  We are so happy to be joining together to bring you the  bloglovin' Blog Hop to help grow our blogs.   It's always a great idea to have many ways for friends to follow your blog. 

Each week we rotate one other social media to follow.  This week we are adding your blog and Pinterest along with bloglovin'!  Friends can hop on over to visit your blog.   

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last week.  We hope you made some new friends! 




Please follow each hostess, and leave us a comment so we can return the follow!   Please follow you hostesses and visit other at least 3 or 4 other links!  

We would love to feature a co-host each week, so please send one of us an email if you would like to be a co-host.  We would love for you to join us!

Please link up your bloglovin' follow link.  To find your URL, just click on your follow by bloglovin' button.  Copy and past the URL link.  That's all there is to it!

French Provincial

J'adore French Provincial - quand il est peint dans un style
" shabby chic "
J'ai trouve ces sur Craig's list et Kijiji ( pour les Americaines - Kijiji est la meme chose que EBAY )


D'accord - nous allons commencer

And we will now officially revert to English for the rest of the post LOL ( just felt like showing off a little)

Here's a few items listed for sale this week from both sites
250.00 will get  you the sofa - 2 chairs - the coffee table and 2 end tables
All you need is paint and some gorgeous fabric and this set could be a dream come true!
( we had that couch set in gold brocade when I was growing up and I HATED it with a passion - looking back I wish I had it now - these were built to last - and make the most beautiful pieces when refurbished with a bit of taste!!!












And don't look at it the way it is now - Here's how it could look with a little work -

Then there's this one - which I think was 500 for the couch and settee - just gorgeous right?






Why would anyone go to a big box store and by a generic looking couch made in China???
Both these chairs are listed at 300 ( and you could probably negotiate ) again don't look at them the way they are







they could easily resemble this gorgeous chair from Restoration Hardware - again with paint and fabric - not identical for sure - but they could still be stunning accent pieces

this piece would WILL make a beautiful changing table in a nursery - the size is perfect ( just heard back from the seller - and it's mine - pick up tomorrow )






Some of you may remember when I transformed this









and these












into this pretty set






Where there is French Provincial - there is potential - 99.9 % of the time - no matter how terrible it looks - which is why tonight I'll be busy working on this






Because the place this type of furniture does not belong is in a garage stuffed into a corner - forgotten about - or worse - a landfill..................

Have a great Thursday all - Come back tonight for the Bloglovin blog hop - it's a great way to meet new people!!!
