White Wednesday

Touches of the seashore all around my home....










Inspired by sweet Susan over at Evelyn and Rose, I used a piece of marble and some old candle holders to make a shelf on my Sunroom's sofa table....








 I found this beautiful metal memo board this past week-end at one of my favorite seaside shops....

 ...I think she's serenely gorgeous!



 And I tried my hand at embellishing some ugly old clipboards with vintage buttons...






(c'est "moi"...blogging!)

...I love the way they turned out!

 Happy White Wednesday mes amies! Can't wait to see all the white inspiration at Faded Charm Cottage!

  13. Oh, where to start...the candle holders/marble shelf is amazing! What an idea. Then, your clipboards are so, so sweet. But that memo board, that has your name all over it. If I had seen that, I would have grabbed it for you.

    Beautiful inspiration, as usual. You keep 'em flowing, yes you do. xo R

  19. I always love your pictures and projects! The buttons on the clip boards is a fabulous idea....I will thank you in advance for letting me "borrow" that idea (the supplies are already in my studio). The marble shelf is a great addition to the sofa table. I love how it helps layer the shelf. Beautiful!

  22. What beautiful things! New to your blog and I see many hours enjoying it ahead. May I ask where you got the sofa table? I love the idea of adding a shelf above it too.

    The clipboards are wonderful...I am a teacher and I can see me adapting the idea to brighten the kids' clipboards in my classroom!

  31. Thank you so much for giving me the info on the sofa table. I am going on a hunt for one over the next few weeks. I am following an Etsy shop that has some items you might like...I don't intend to plug a store here (it's not mine), but I will give you the info if you would like. I just bought a Fleur de Lis picture which I adore.
    Thanks again,

    Katy
