Romantic Homes June 2013

I am a little late this month
doing the June 2013
Romantic Homes 
showcase of blogs.
Well, better late than never,
as they say.
Here's the gorgeous feature
about Downton Abbey.
If you don't know what 
Downton Abbey is....
well, the Lord loves you anyway.
Is that beautiful, or what?

The cover is as gorgeous as always:
So-
On to the blogs.
As many blogs as I follow I did not
know about any of these.
It's a big blogging world out there,
isn't it?

First up-
Restyled Vintage from Australia
You will love Karen' Needham's blog.
She does lots of painting.

Second-
Blue Clear Sky by Elizabeth Ramage
She, like many of us, loves her blue and whites!

Third:
Lily Field Life by Fiona Gavin
Let's just say she's a dab hand with paint!

Fourth:
How about Oakview Cottage by Cindy Stewart?
She has a cheerful, homey place in Canada.

And-last, but certainly not least-
Whimiscal Perspective by Laura Bright
You will LOVE what she does with

I may have a painted project of
my own to show you tomorrow
if I can get my butt in gear....
or at least get it into DRIVE!

Have a wonderful day!

  8. Love some of those cabinet pieces. I would have cabinets everywhere, if I had more room, because they are everywhere, already, here.

  9. These are all so pretty! I especially love the blue and white painted items - probably because here hardly anything is painted. I'm so tempted...
