I'd like to take you on a tour of the shabby chic cottage of one of my dear friends. There are MANY pictures so settle in for a good looky!
My girlfriend and her husband rent this house but that hasn't stopped her from creating a wonderful warm welcoming home!

I absolutely LOVE the shabby chic style! And her house is chock-a-block full of wonderful treasures she's collected that make me drool! So I thought you might enjoy seeing them too. *winks*
So come on and lets take a look see..... We'll start in the livingroom. I think a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll just let you browse....
Killer pelmet piece!!
Love this angel!!
Music area of the livingroom. I love how she uses carpets as wall art.
Her darling little pomeranian is a star!
Oh how I'd LOVE to have a harp like this! It's one of my absolute dream pieces! I do already have the harp case so I'm ready!.....just sayin'.....*winks*
This lovely nude beauty now lives at my house.
Dining room.
Bling-o-licious chandy!!
Guest room with beautiful paintings!
Dressing room/closet. My girlfriend had one of the bedrooms turned into her own personal boudoir. I wish I had enough spare bedrooms to have one too! *winks*
And a lovely alabaster bust...be still my heart!
Every girl needs a beautiful full length mirror to primp in don'tcha think?
Pretty hats.
Great accessories.
Master bedroom. Love the bed!
Gorgy chandelier.
Bathroom.
Outdoor patio.
Isn't this an amazing space?!
Yard statuary.
Fab garage studio/atelier.
And I'll close the tour with this amazing door with surround that she found on craigslist for a song! Some girls have all the luck! *winks*
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed the tour. If you'd like to see some more shabby beauty, and take a peek into yet another fabulous abode please check out my post on my cousin's cool shabby chic apartment HERE.
And if you're still in the mood for more? You can check out the link to my shabby pink-n-white-bedroom HERE *winks*

SERIOUSLY? Over-the-top shabby goodness. Love all the ornamental pieces and just about everything else. She really made this rental her home. It's beautiful!
I think amazing would be a bit of an understatement!!! It's so wonderful!!! I love all of the statues and busts and chandeliers everywhere!!! Her home is beautiful!!!
I don't know which part of your friend's home I love more: the boudoir, the bathroom, the porch, her studio, the door from Craig's List.....
AWESOME!!!!!!
Hugs,
Lana
OMG!!
All I can say is that i am going to be pouring over this post for days to come!!
Stunning beyond belief!! I LOVE ALL of it!!
Thanks so much for sharing your friend's place!! A true treat for the eyes!!

Holy canonli your friend has a stunning home! How in the world can you ever pick a favorite part? I managed! I love the fireplace, the closet with all her clothes and shoes on display and the pomeranian. Having a pom myself, I might be a bit biased, especially since they're both blondes.
There are some truly amazing pieces of furniture, statuary, mirrors, artwork and knick knacks too! What eye candy!
I hopped over to see your cousins home as well and it's just as beautiful. I could see myself living there much more easily. Maybe your friends home is too grand for me. I could have nightmares about dusting it all! Have a great weekend Vanna and thanks to your friend for sharing her home with us.
OMG! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything! What a treasure trove. Oh to be surrounded with such beautiful things. Every girl's dream come true, (Well, at least THIS girl!)
Thank you so much for sharing all this yummy goodness. Wednesday is just too long to wait!
Love it all.
Hugs,
Patti
Oh my goodness! I've never seen so many beautiful things in one place. Your friend's home is beyond beautiful! So many gorgeous rooms and absolutely gorgeous pieces. Thanks for sharing! I loved looking at your pictures.

OMG, so many beautiful things here. I especially love the lady statue in the the pretty pink bathroom, it's gorgeous! Thanks so much for the tour.
I was reading one of your older post, where you received the stylish blogger award and was telling things about yourself, and I see that we have a few things in common, I'm shy too, I'm a big animal lover, and have recuses too, don't know about living in France, but would LOVE to visit there.
hugs~~~ Daphne
Wow!!! Sweet Vanna, this post is like eating ice cream, all fluffy, sweet, and DELICIOUS.......Sooooo many beautiful things to look at, every photo has something to dream over. I will have to look at this post over and over so I'm sure I haven't missed anything. Thanks to your friend for sharing, and after my first run tell her I love the angel and that gorgeous door.
Hope your weekend is fabulous.

Vanna I can see myself wanting to shop in your friends house,it looks as if you have a friend with a wonderful eye for treasures just like YOU,xo Kathysue
Oh my, Vanna! It's wonderful! I especially love the bed in the master...gorgeous! Sooo much eye candy...I need to go back and look some more! Happy weekend...hugs...Debbie
Vanna, Thanks for sharing your friends wonderful home. It is so amazing that this is a rental. Everything fits in perfect and it is such a great space for her things, especially the outside space and the garage. Who would believe it. I had a gold cornice, pelment piece just like that one when I had my store in St.Louis. I sold it and it was shipped out of town, you should ash her, you don.t think it would be the same one? Her things are really a nice mix, unlike so many who do the Shabby Chic look, they leave out the Chic part. She has so much Chic and it is all wonderful. I had a ha2rp, sold it, been sad every since. I am working on another, found one, just have to come to terms with the owner on how much he wants, then rob the local gas station to pay for it. Love this post. Beautiful home! Richard at My Old Historic House
WOW!!!!!!!
Vanna I don't know how you made it out of your friends home without wanting nevery piece in yours it's so your style and it's lovely. I see elements that I want from her chandelier to her candlestick holders on the mantle in her loving room...fabulous! Thank you to you and your friend for sharing her home! Enjoy your weekend!
Oh my gosh Vanna that was fun, tell your friend thanks for the tour too! Love it, has her home been featured in Romantic Homes anytime? Because if not it should be! Loving several things, her full length dressing mirror is what I have been looking for, one just like it. Oh everything, such eye candy, that was fun!
Hugs from up North, Linda
Oh Vanna you know I love your friend's homes!!! Wow does she have a great style- and you both have so much in common with your great finds!!!
How did your hunting go this weekend? I am sure you found some beauties for us to ooh and ahh over!
Had a beekeepers luncheon here today then off to camp tomorrow so now hunting for me- I have so much to work on that I really shouldn't go looking for more till I get some of this out of the way- but that's no fun!- Will take Ashton back to NM next weekend and may stay for a few since the last trip was all business and no pleasure seeing friends. Bill won't be with me so I can stay longer hopefully.
It has been very warm here- 90's- sure wish some of that rain you all had would make it's way down to our part of the country!
Say Hi to your sweet hubby for us!
bee blessed
