| I purchased this adorable sign a few weeks back at HomeGoods. I knew as soon as I saw it it was meant to come home with me! I had the perfect spot that was in desperate need of a makeover. |
 |
| Let me take you back to the very beginning.This is a picture of the little hallway from our kitchen into the guest bedroom. This pic was taken before we purchased our home. We had them take the carpet out and match the tile. The carpet didn't make sense to us especially seeing as to right of the little hallway is a door to the garage. |
 |
| A few months went by after we moved in and I had finally decided on a paint color for the house and Then I decided I had to get rid of the builder grade half moon light fixture. Sorry for bad pic but this was as good as it got back then!;) I ended up choosing this outdoor light fixture because I wanted to give the space some character. Something unexpected. |
 |
| Then I decided to hang a rooster picture under the light fixture and this is how it stayed till I brought home the new Guest Cottage sign. I knew I couldn't just put a sign on the wall and call it a day. |
 |
| So I brought out this shabby old table I have had that has seen better days but is just oh so cute. I need to figure out how to fix that crack but for now it will just get a makeover. |
 |
| I busted out my CeCe Caldwell & Annie Sloan paints and just dry brushed three different colors on till I got the look I was going for. Then I wiped it down with a damp paper towel. |
 |
| The top I took the sander to. |
 |
| Next up I brought out my Ballard Designs Script indoor outdoor rug I purchased back in December. I was rather disappointed with it when it came because it was nothing like the picture on their website nor their catalog. The print had been scaled way down. Since then they have added a picture of what all three sizes of the rug look like and in the end they let me keep this one for FREE! I figured this would be the perfect spot to use it. Thanx Ballard! |
 |
| Next up I hunted high and low for some flowers and let me tell ya hydrangeas are not cheap! Even at WM they were $9 a stem so I was thrilled when I went into HobLob the other day and saw this arrangement for half off. For $15 I could not even come close to being able to make something similar so home it came. |
 |
| It fit perfectly in my vintage silver pitcher. The little bunnies I purchased out at the cottage a few days back. They had just come in and were too stinking cute to leave behind. |
 |
| I pulled out my grapevine wreath for the final touch. |
 |
| So now when you come and stay at The Finch Inn you will be greeted with a welcoming entrance all because of a sign! And in case you are wondering mom, yes you can still easily walk thru the space!;) Linking up to the following Linky Parties: |
