| I bought this vintage Charleton white porcelain water basin at the auction last summer. I've just had it hung on a wall where it wouldn't get broken, but it's too pretty to just hang there! |
 |
| So, this morning I decided to fill it with roses. some ivy, and a lace bow. It looks perfect on the wall next to our newly painted white cabinet. |
 |
| Picture 1 shows how the basin looked before it was filled with flowers.....Pic 2 is of the marking on the back.....Pic 3 is my (not very clear) auction receipt (second from the bottom... $5) If you have any info on my water basin, I would love for you to share it with me. |
 |
| I liked the white tiered table and "dressed" piano stool that was already there, so I left them ... |
 |
| But, I replaced the flower arrangement that I had on top of the tiered table with this child bust. I dressed her in a Battenburg lace top, some pearls necklaces, and made a flower crown for her little head. |
 |
| I didn't have anything on the second tier before, so I put some pink depression glass on it. I have pink depression glass in the cabinet next to the table, so now they kind of match. |
|
| I hung an angel on each side of the basin....added some doilies to the vignette.... and hung a small metal sign under the basin. |
 |
| Now, I can't decide whether I like the bust on the left or the right of the basin..... |
 |
| Which way do you like her? |
 |
| For now, she is on the left...but I don't know for how long...lol! http://www.kathewithane.com/2014/02/youre-gonna-love-it-anything-goes.html http://ourdelightfulhome.blogspot.com/2014/02/live-show-me-what-you-got-linky-party.html http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-diyers-48.html http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2014/02/make-it-pretty-monday-week-87.html http://lechateaudesfleurs.blogspot.com/2014/02/french-furniture-and-monday-link-up.html http://rainonatinroof.com/2014/02/gmtg-link-party-46/ http://www.cherishedhandmadetreasures.com/2014/02/creative-corner-hop-99.html http://www.tumbleweedcontessa.com/blog/whatd-you-do-this-weekend-52/?

That is a really lovely piece but I don't know anything about it. I love that bust, too. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLeft is perfect - very sweet!
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeletethis is so lovely. I'm a huge Shabby Chic fan and I love anything vintage. I so envy your space to display all this beauty around you all the time. Thank you for linking up with us tonight at Wake Up Wednesday. I always seeing your new creations. You have a great eye for beauty.

I love looking at all your lovely photos. I'm a Pink Girl and I love, LOVE flowers especially Roses. I like your pretty little girl on the left. On the right, her head wreath seemed to create to much of a flower 'clump' with the flowers above.
ReplyDeleteI love your decor..you know exactly what your style is. I do not. I wish I did. It's just whatever I like and the problem is..I like so many things. I want the whites and pinks..your is just so lovely and delicate and interesting. I poke around in your photo's nearly as bad as I would if I were right there in your sweet home! Just so adorable. I cannot accomplish it, I've tried. I, perhaps, still don't know who I am. LOL That child statue is precious. Where on earth do you find such things as that? :) It's ok. You don't have to tell. :)
ReplyDeleteGoodmorning! I found that sweet bust at a little shop in Branson Mo a couple of years ago...$25.00. She came to me in a pink childs shirt and baby bonnet, which she wears sometimes. I think your style is beautiful! I learned a long time ago to decorate only for ME...I really don't follow trends ....and I never buy anything that I don't LOVE. Somehow it all comes together...Hugs, Penny
