" I'm Back" Springtime at Chrisy's Cottage

I Know I've been neglecting my posts, But I have been busy with company. My 3 Sisters and my Cousin came to visit. And did we tear up and down the coast. Hearst Castle, Elephant Seals, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay and Cambria. They came from as far away as Minnesota and Wisconsin. By Plane and by Train.. So This was really a treat. Leaving behind snow flurries, freezing temperatures and Husbands. Needless to say we had a Blast!!! I all ready miss them all. We had so much fun finding wonderful treasures. It was a non stop Pajama Party....Telling stories and sharing memories and laughing a lot. it was a wonderful break from our everyday lives. I highly recommend it..

These are a few of the new items at " Chrisy's " this week

I just love how the finish came out on this coffee table I re-furbished....

and this would be lovely above a fireplace or vanity

and here are the girls at the beach...Aren't they sooo cute? Love my family so much..Hugs Chrisy & Kramer

" Trends for 2013"

This beautiful French table and 4 chairs available at " Chrisy's Cottage" $ 459.00 with beautiful sculpted glass top.

Those itching to re-decorate should channel the Classics... Pieces collected from treasure hunt's give a room personality. A lot of people are downsizing these days. So a softer cleaner color palette with lot's of texture creates a cozy homey feeling. Go Natural, with bamboo, shells, arch. elements and botanical prints and of course antiques in a beautiful soft color or natural old world pine. and don't forget to throw in a little Elegance darlings... maybe a over the top Parisian vibe. Aged gilt accents, maybe a crystal chandelier, some damask, but done oh so subtle, so it all blends together for a " Fabulous so You Look!!!.... Happy hunting.. Hugs Chrisy & Kramer
