Did you enjoy your holiday weekend? I hope so.
I spent almost my whole weekend painting. The living room, dining room, kitchen soffit and hallway are just about complete. I only have a few touch-ups to do here and there. Now I’m ready to start the master bedroom this week so I’ll be heading back to Lowe’s again to get a couple samples of the colors I am considering.
Yes, I know you are probably anxious to see the painting progress I’ve made, especially after I teased you about the color I chose for the living room and dining room. I’ll have the big reveal after the carpenter has finished the crown moldings.
The start of a new week means it’s time for Today’s Thrifty Treasure’s party, hosted by Rhoda at Southern Hospitality.
and Blue Monday hosted by Smiling Sally.
Many of the items I used to decorate and accessorize my French Country cottage inspired guest room/office, were blue and white thrifted treasures from various visits to Goodwill.

Everything is just lovely. But my favorites are the two adorable pitchers. Cute!

I love what you have done so far and I can't wait to see the rest. All of your blue finds are true treasures and just stunning. Love them all. Hugs, Marty
Oh my gosh, Shari, I love all of your pictures and blue pottery for your french country cottage bedroom! I believe thrift stores are a cottage lover's best friend, and it's amazing the things you find there - just the "right" things at the right time! You're treasures are such a blessing to all of us that see them, as well as you. Your home is so lucky to have you!
Oh goodness Shari ! I am loving all the blues and such great buys !
I love a french country - anything !
Now, I must be off to go look at the rest of your pictures !
Hugs ~ Kammy
All great finds, and they all work together so well! Love that blue and white pitcher. I never find anything good at Goodwill!
Love your blues!!
Hugs, Lisa
LOve all of your treasures! The blue creamer for .76 and the candle sticks are to die for!
You got some great deals.

Fantastic finds! I'm so impressed. I don't have much luck when I'm out thrifting. ☺ Diane
Love the room! I have just recently started reading blogs after discovering Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality.
Your room is just exactly how I would decorate a guest room when we become empty nesters. I have been inspired to start looking for blue and white for my someday room. Awesome job!
Shari,
Love your blue and yellow treasures.
thanks for sharing.
Happy Blue Monday.

Love your posting. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue MOnday.
Shari, I see what you mean about my B&W going well with yours. BTW, what you saw is only a fraction of my B&W stash lol! I love every single piece. I need another hutch just for my B&W collection!
Your french style bedroom is lovely! I adore what you have done so far! It is really pretty! I'm dying to see what color you painted the rooms!
I'm thinking it's a good thing we don't shop at the same thrift stores...otherwise we'd have to camp out overnight just to beat the other one to the goodies! lol

I so love the blue pitchers and candlestick holders, but my super favourite is the floral print on wood! Delightful collection of blues!
Hello Shari, Happy Blue Monday! Great post, your sure do find the bargins! Loved your previous posts too, I'm painting here also. Trying to get the upstairs done before I go back to work in the fall. Loved getting a peek at Bo and Jasmine!
Bless you, Shirl

I've always loved a soft yellow with blue and white. You've done a good job. Thanks for sharing. Happy 1st Blue Monday.
Hi Shari,
I just love the daisies in that blue pitcher! Your blue and whites are gorgeous and I cannot wait to see your reveal! The prints are lovely too. Have a wonderful Blue Monday!

This room has such pretty touches and you have done it so inexpensively. I looked at the other pictures of the room on your blog and I enjoyed my visit.
