Good Evening blogger friends! I would like to share the loft area that is upstairs of our house. This weekend I hope to be able to post the family room. I will be leaving Sunday for Columbia for about four days. I will be attending a social work conference there, so I won't have much time to post this weekend. Or enough time to work on the house.
They delivered our new chair and entertainment center today. I want to touch it up some more before I post about this weekend.
I hope you enjoy the photos of my girly room!!


This is the loft area upstairs. It is between the fourth bedroom which I use as my craft room and the unfinished bonus room. This is the only room that will truly be shabby chic. I call it my mom cave or my girly room. Actually it will probably be redone some day and put real furniture up here. Probably when we finish the bonus room. For the most part our house is a traditional style. it is feminine enough I could live with , yet not too girly for my hubbys comfort!





This is the whole front view of my little white chicken wire cabinet. I found it at a yard sale as well. It was an ugly green. You may remember the before pictures I posted. I stored all my yard sale find pink rose dishes in the bottom. A girl can never have enough pink roses , ya know.




I don't know if you all remember the post about this Johnson's Brother vase I bought at the blessings sale. But any how this is how I displayed it. I bought all the Roses at Ole Time Pottery. The plate was a yard sale find.





This is the right side of the white cabinet. I found the shabby white candle holder at a yard sale. Well really most of this stuff, with exception of the little pink roses (Ole Time Pottery) was yard sale finds.






This little plant stand thingie I purchase at TJ MAX. It has a rose mosaic pattern. I thought it looked so shabbily dainty.





I made the little heart on this wall. I have posted it before. It was in the guest room of our previous house.






This corner I placed the little ice cream chair I found at Good Will. I recovered the seat and back and painted it white. The door to the right is a small door which leads to one of the storage areas. The door to the right is the bathroom. I am still working on the bathroom and my craft room.






The wicker sofa is setting up against the half wall,behind which is the stairs. I did a little fluffing to the cushion of the love seat. I put two extra pillows to make it softer. Also the seat cushion is a twin bedspread. I just tucked all the extra fabric under the seats!







Setting on the table is a little candelabra I found at Good Will. It has one of its candle sticks broken off, but I just keep that part turned to the back. Also on the table is the other little heart I was given as a surprise by Celestina Marie. I thought this room was the perfect place to display her little pieces.






This is two rose plates I found at yard sales. Also if you look closely you will see Celestina Marie's little heart I won from her give away. It is hanging on the wall.It is just so pretty!!






This chair I bought at Lowe's when we first moved to South Carolina! It has a matching rocker that is in the storage room. The rocker was just too big to be in the room. The blanket on the back of the chair is a good will find. The rose picture was a yard sale find!!







I just love the wreath on the door! It has roses and hydrangeas. My two favorite flowers.

  10. Hi Susan,
    Oh what a beautiful shabby and chic space you created. I love all your little vignettes and wall creations. So glad you had some spots for your giveaway win. They look right at home.
    I could spend a great deal of time sitting in your wicker chair, taking in the pretties and relaxing with a good book.
    Love your cabinet transformation too. Perfect for this space!
    I hope your few days away are good ones and you come home refreshed from you conference and back to decorating more of your beautiful new home.
    Blessings, Celestina Marie XOXO

  28. Yep...that is a really girly room you have up there....are you sure the rest of the house is not like this one ? I know mine is...but my husband does not mind, he has a WHOLE room to himself ( his "art studio")..so he does his thing in there. However, he dos share the room with the ironing board and my sewing machine.
    Generous of me isn't it? ( Laughing)
