These " painted ladies" were gathered at different yard sales, flea markets and the local dump! It was a very satisfying trash to treasure hunting day. I came home with money in my purse, a darling little desk with french curved legs and original white iron drawer pulls which I kept! A tired old luggage rack with scratched wood and torn strapping. A vintage mirror, a porcelain rose lamp base, and a beat up cornice from a window treatment that was long gone...Come see how these "ladies in waiting" turned out!
Once I got them home and looked at the array of shapes and sizes I had gathered I was inspired to create a collection
of Vintage Pink Cottage Furniture!


So, what does a child's rocking chair painted black with gold leaf edging have to do with my cottage pink furniture collection? I added some of my own whimsical hand painted roses on a vine to tie it in... After all, things shouldn't be too matchy matchy should they? What was the fate of these lovely ladies? I'm happy to say they all found new homes eventually and are more beautiful and functional the second time around.
