Our guest host this week is Anne of White Lace Cottage
Hello I am Anne from White lace cottage and I am thrilled that Linsey asked me to host this weeks Cowgirl Up party!
It is such an honor as I adore her style too!
If you know me then you know how much I love anything old and chippy.
I am always on the hunt to find fun and unique pieces for my home.
My style is a little bit of Cottage, a little bit farmhouse and a little bit French Nordic.
All together you get Romantic farmhouse cottage French Nordic.
Yes it’s a bit eclectic.
But somehow it all works.
I love using architectural pieces old shutters,doors,windows ladders anything that catches my eye.
Another thing I love to do is to re purpose old treasures.
This old ice cream machine was transformed with some paint to add a bit of character.
Pretty with flowers or old wood bread boards.
I love to surround myself with things that I love.
My favorite places to find treasures are thrift stores and antique shops.
This is what I recently came across.
These vintage pieces with original paint are hard to come by.
Especially when the color is so unique.
Even the barkcloth is sweet on this piece.
I have lots of white in my home.
It’s fun to add a bit of color here and there.
I had a hall table here previously.
But thought this would be perfect in this spot.
This shelf I found years ago.
I just can’t part with it.
Made from scraps of vintage wood.
I’ve been playing around with this shelf trying to fix it just right.
I think I finally got the look I was going for.
A sweet chair to sit on.
Or a sweet table….
Thank you so much for letting me share my home with you all!
The simple rustic beauty of these jell-o mold nests is spring fresh, by Artsy Va Va
A great cabinet makeover by My Passion for Decor. What a great job distressing the soft buttery colors on this piece!
A bay leaf wreath by Grace & Favor, I bet it smells divine!
I’m positively “attracted” to this beautiful magnet wall hanger by Petticoat Junktion. Fun!
And finally, who can resist, a decadent Rasberry Truffle Brownie….by My Kitchen is My Playground. MMM!
The four of us are all Texas bloggers, but you don’t have to be Texas, country, western, or own horses to participate in Cowgirl Up! You just need that “can-do”, cowgirl spirit!

Miss Kitty says
Thanks for hostessing the Cowgirl Up! party this week, Anne. Your home is just so lovely . Hey, I saw the comment that you left over at Northern Nesting about the science projects and I totally identify…I always seemed to be working harder than my kids on their projects. One of them even sneaked off to bed leading up to a morning deadline…when I went to get him up, he said ‘well there’s no sense in both of us staying up’. Oh, the memories…
Anne says
LOL that’s funny!
Thank you I am honored to be hosting this weeks party!
