Cottage Study Details

Posted on 10:43 by Unknown
So,
I've shown you how I worked my study into a colorful bower of flowers.
Now, lets see some more STUFF....
I found this wonderful Edwardian style linen press from the same ebay vendor that sold me the pair of bergere chairs.
It sits across the room from my desk, and hold my office supplies.....
I've set up a pendeflex frame in the bottom on a pull out linen drawer that works for my hanging files.
It started out holding my clothes, but since all I wear is T shirts and sweat shirts, I needed it more for my office stuff.
I found this pretty 1930's print 
(on ebay, where else?????)
But the frame was a crappy white, so I repainted it in black....
The crocodile skin covered box was my grandmother's, and has her initials monogrammed on the front.....
It's a jewelry box, and reflects the elegance of a bygone day.
The dog is a crummy new reproduction, that I've had for quite some time, so I guess he isn't so new anymore. 
Another few years and he'll be an antique.
It's so annoying to go to an antique store, 
and see
 stuff from my childhood
sold as antiques!!!!!!! 
Oy, Oy, Oy, Oy, Oy.....
(where was I???? Oh yeah, decorating.....)
Next to the box is a Victorian piece of cheap silver plate that holds my
VERY SPECIAL AND EXPENSIVE FAKE JEWELRY PEARLS!!!!!
I like the way they looked draped over the side, spilling casually out of the bowl.....
SO CHIC!!!!! N'est pas?????
The vase is Art Nouveau, 
holding more of my specially grown fake flowers!!!!!
And last but not least is my retro looking fan.....
I tend to get hot when I'm blogging, or just working at my computer.
I don't know why,
maybe all that brain activity generates psychic heat.
BUT I NEED A COOLING MACHINE!!!!!
Just a gentle breeze, to sooth my fevered brow, as I write my pearls of wisdom for you guys.

One last thing before I go out and enjoy my Saturday.
I'm starting to get the hang of the cloning tool on PicMonkey.
Check out this before and after.
I was able to get rid of the cord and outlet!!!!!

Not to brag, but....
I ROCK, BIG TIME, BABY!!!!!
