A Few Additions...

I have so many fun things to share with you, but unfortunately I can't share them with you today.  Sorry.  There is a fun giveaway planned for next Monday!  You are really going to like this one and can't wait to share it with you next week.  I have also been working on a few pieces of furniture for a friend.  I can't wait for her to see them, but again you are going to have to wait on this too!

But I can share a few new additions to Conor's Beachy Big Boy Bedroom.  I made a fabulous little pillow for his bedroom using the sweetest image from The Graphics Fairy's website using the citra solv transfer method.  I've shared this method before, but if you are a new follower you can see it here.

It is a little boy dressed as a sailor with the text saying "I love the sea" in French.  Conor loves his new pillow and was so proud to have one made by me :)  The back is a blue polka dots on green which ties in nicely to the stripes in the other pillows.

Here is a close up of the front.  The little boy is just so sweet on it, just like my Conor.

Poppy, our lovely flat coat / lab mix, loved Conor's old rug a little too much!  It was a flokati and I think she could smell the sheep.  Anyway, she had chewed a large hole it and it was just looking ratty.  I spotted this fantastic Dash & Albert indoor / outdoor rug at the Welch Company in Scituate Harbor.  They were doing a sale so I got it for 20% off too.

The great thing is it can be hosed down outside and Poppy isn't interested in chewing on it!  The blue and white really calls out nautical to me and I'm thinking of getting some deep red and white striped ones for John's room (his bedroom is still a work in progress).

A month or two ago, Conor and I were treasure hunting at Reflections Antiques Emporium in Cohasset (as we do) and I came across this fantastic sailing scene in a rustic wood frame.  I think it is from the 1930s.  It is such a soft image and seems to change as the light hits it making it look like sunrise or sunset.  I could just stare at it for hours.

Finally, I came across the most amazing water color artist on Etsy.  You all need to go and check out his shop here.  I got two watercolors, one for John and one for Conor.  John wanted the shark and Conor got the whale.  I picked up the frame at Ikea the last time we were there.  It is a great addition to his beachy big boy bedroom.

The details in the watercolor are just so beautiful.  I had to show you a close up:

So there you have it!  A few new additions to make it even more beachy!
