Mod Mix Monday #43

Oh...I'd like to sleep in this room.
Hot pink and white with unexpected rattan benches.

Another Mod Mix Monday upon us.
Here are my favorites from last week.
Betsy of Betsy Speert's Blog shared her tropical bar.
Her little cottage is like stepping back in time to the Florida of the 30's or 40's.
Love it.
Robin "the" Decorating Tennis Girl showed off her back deck.
She has the most precious little cottage and her back deck is just perfect.
This pic so makes me wish my own back deck was covered.
Start at Home showed off her table redo.
I'm crazy for any table painted white and shabbied up.
This table just makes the room.
Cindy of Oakview Cottage finished up her fireplace makeover.
She refaced it and had a new mantel made for it.
Looks like it's been there always, doesn't it?
That is a good redo. One that looks like it was always in the house.
Perfect for her cottage.
Rani of La Maison Jolie shared these very french placemats she made.
Very chic especially in this setting.
Theresa of Momma T's Place redid a hutch which completes her dining room.
This room is so fresh and vintage...very Mod Vintage!

On to this week's mixes...

Remember anything old made over to be new...anything new changed up to look old.
New and old together...

Open House Sunday

Sunny Cottage in California
built 1925
You know how I love little vintage cottages.
This one has a spanish flair and exists in Los Angeles.
love the vegetation
stucco, iron work, vintage light....a welcoming threshold
windows and doors painted in blue
Amazingly tall windows for a small cottage.
I love the view of the banana trees.
Looks to me like they tore off the original tile and did a cement treatment on the fireplace.
That's a shame.
Still, look at the windows in this house!
Mr. Panther needs to go.
The view into the master
and into the dining room
Simple and pretty and I'm crazy for that chandelier.
This room thrilled me most.
The stove and all that white marble mixed with white subway tile.
I just want to run my hands over all of it.
Pretty vintage repro bath
Love the Peter Pan poster used on the wall in here.
Would love to do laundry with a view of the pool and all that marble.
This area could be ultra fabulous with a little styling.
pool for lounging
a lovely fountain on a gravel side yard

T'would be nice to live in sunny California.

Spring

For No Other Reason
Than It's Spring!
I adore that image above.
The hodge podge wallpaper and periwinkle blue velvet sofa.
Plus it looks relaxed and comfy.
My wisteria is bursting out in leaves...no blooms of yet but soon...
But this one is amazing.
Oh, to have a spot like this to read a good book or just take a nap.
Hope you have a pretty Saturday.
