In late October, I added a post and a poll (Vote 4 Vanity) so that my fellow bloggerettes could help me decide which colors to paint a vanity table. Turned out it was a three-way tie between white, pale aqua, and stripes. Well, I finally got around to painting the table. Thank you for all of your input. I went with all three!
While the paint can was still open, I figured I'd paint a picture frame to match the table.
Some "shabbified" details.
Putting together a little cottage vignette.

Elyse,
This is awesome! I love what you have wrought!!!
Noticing a particular book in the vignette! :)
Elyse,
This is gorgeous!
I could've sworn I wrote you a whole long response on your button entry or maybe it was another post?, but I don't see it now.
Did you get it or am I losing my mind?

I am so happy when I get to meet a new bloggy friend! You have such lovely eye candy here..and I can see you love to craft and decorate as much as I do! I will be back! cherry
Honey, I actually sucked in my breath when I saw your latest creation!! That's stunning and I'm lovin' it. I may do that to SOMETHING in this house, sweet chick.....
Smooches,

Thank you soooo much for your sweet comments on my ragamuffin chandy! I used white rick rack, red sheer ribbon (50% Christmas ribbon!), and then 3 or 4 different printed cotton fabrics.....one of them is an old shirt my husband used to wear!! I used stretch cord (jewelry dept) and tied the strips of fabric that I cut with the pinking shears on it-the shorter the strips the poofier it will be. I am working on the big light fixture now and it is turning out divine!! Blue and brown!! Can't wait to show you guys!!
Hugs!

Thank you for stopping by Raspberry Lemonade. Wow it's wierd I was just thinking of looking for bloggers who transform junk- back to life. After finding them I wanted to post shout outs, so that bloggers could get some ideas, for the holiday gifting. If you don't mind can I start with your Before and After post? Also I'll be grabbing your button! Please feel free to add me to your blog roll!
Totally adorable.
Sooo pretty and delicate. Did you use painter's tape to get the stripes? Very creative.
Hello Elyse...I happened upon your blog through a friend. I truly enjoyed my visit. You have such a gift for transforming treasures. I will be back for more visits!!
I love it Elyse! The colors and stripes and crackle! 'Lovely'!

Oh wow! It really came out great. I love the distressing.
Karla
wow - it looks so fantastic, I think the frame is great too - beautiful blue.
Hi Eleyse,
Thanks for stopping by the Shabby Art Boutique and leaving a comment.
Love your table re-do...it's so pretty.
First of all, I LOVE your name!! My mom almost put a "Y" in my name, but stuck with "I" instead. Oh, and your home is gorgeous!!
Elise
I am totally in love with the table!! You made it perfectly cottage!! Now what can I paint like that LOL.

Hey again!! I am sometimes called Lisie(never sure how to spell it), but not by family. One of my old roommates called me that and now my husband will sometimes call me Lisie. My family's nickname for me is Pooh, Pooh Bear, Pooh Doodle, etc. When I was a baby it was Little Elf Ears.
Elise
It seems our name is coming into vogue. I have seen more people having babies now and calling them Elise. Oh, and PB has had it in their catalog.
What an amazing transformation. Love teh cottage look but the husband is not in to it.
I love your solution to the three way tie. That was a happy accident because it looks so interesting. Very feminine, but not overly sweet, if that makes sense. I'm glad you posted to FFF...I just became a follower. :)
Hello ~
That table turned out stinking cute !
Good job - I love stripes !
Kammy
Darling! The shape and colors and details are perfect.
Very pretty. I love to color combo, it came together nicely. The table didnt really look that bad before, but looks like it has so much more of a purpose now.
