I'm so excited! Jennifer from the Old Painted Cottage has featured my little apartment as "Cottage of the Month" for February (click on that to view)! I anxiously await the first day of each month to see the next home she has featured and now it's my little old apartment! Unbelievable!!! I'm so excited!
If you found me for the first time from "Cottage of the Month", I would like to say welcome to my blog and thanks for dropping by. I'm a single mom with a grown son and a 17 year old daughter still at home. My daughter and I live in a rented 1969 4-plex apartment (not a cute cottage, but maybe someday) in Silicon Valley and my blog is about decorating this tiny space using thrift store, flea market and garage sale treasures! I hope you enjoy your visit here!
**************************************
I also wanted to let you all know that I've been shopping this past weekend and found some great things that I've now stocked in My Vintage etsy shop! I only buy things that I would want in my home and I hope you like them as much as I do! I also have more Pink Toile Hearts on my Handmade etsy shop, just in time for Valentine's Day!
Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteGood for you-that is something to celebrate!
I really enjoyed reading the interview on Saturday and now I am going to check out the cottage of the month.
Congratulations,
Carolyn
Those strawberries are yummmmm! Your interview was great! I just visited your etsy shops; your toile covered hearts are too adorable, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering how you are doing. I hope it cleared up and you are feeling better. (Did I miss the update on the rash?)

Enjoyed the tour through your beautiful "cottage". :-) How exciting for you to have your home featured!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI love your romantic home!!! your blog name fits your home beautifully!!! CONGRATS :)
Congrats!! I admire your hard work,as I know growing up my Mom was single and we lived in an apartment as well!~ I am happy for you!~
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you, Cindy! I raise my glass of bubbly to you. Cottage of the Month is a place where I go to revisit the older cottages several times a year. Their beauty is timeless as is your home.

Congratulations Cindy... a well deserved honor!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Cindy! Good for you! I love the COM feature, and am always inspired by the different cottages.
ReplyDeleteFunny sidenote ~ When I saw your bathroom pic, I thought, "That is pretty much what MY new bathroom re-do will look like!". When I read your comment about Behr Denim Blue being your fav color, I sooo agree. I chose Behr Sonata which is just a tad lighter and am going with whites and silvers as accents!!

Congratulations, Cindy! I just came from Jennifer's and like always, your home is over the top beautiful. I really think you should give classes on decorating, perhaps soon? I'd sign up! Happy night and yes, I do have a favorite photo (white roses and lace pillow).
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous! Your home is filled with love--so perfect for February's COTM. Now even more people can delight in your creativity! Congratulations and then some.
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifer's COTM! Congratulations! Your home looks beautiful, as usual!
ReplyDeleteOh, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI just saw the beautiful photos! I can't believe you've done all that with an apartment. You are truly a decorating genius, and a true inspirations to the rest of us! I must admit that the "Cottage of the Month" is something new for me, and I will be perusing the archives (now there's a treat to look forward to), but I can't imagine there will be any I like any better than yours!
Enjoy the honors, my dear, you've worked hard and you deserve it!
