Romantic shabby chic decor

I absolutely love romantic shabby chic home decor.  Besides lace, pearls and crystals color is important. All White, Pale blues and Pinks are the most popular colors in a romantic home.

Cindy of MyRomanticHome.com brought it all together.

One of the prettiest of romantic homes is Cindy's in California, recently she boasted of 3 million visitors to her blog.  

Crystal chandeliers in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and dining areas is a focal point in most romantic homes...

This one is STUNNING! And the price is right $88.00

My Aunt had beautiful crystal chandeliers in her home which as a little girl I admired. I thought it would be extremely costly to decorate a home in shabby chic only to be delightfully surprised at some of the affordable ways to get the look!

Beautiful Romantic bedroom

From bedrooms to bathrooms and shades getting the romantic home may be easier than I first thought. It's those special touches, lace, flowers, pearls and crystal. There are beautiful floral fabrics that can be used as curtains or tablecloths. Floral wallpapers. Just let your creative juices flow and go for it.

Organizing and Decorating

Several months ago, out of necessity I began an organizing project in my bathroom, it was a success, since than I organized, closets, linen closet,dresser drawers, and the largest of all the organizing projects, my home office.

What's interesting about that is that it was easy to do one at a time as opposed to trying to accomplish it all at one time or imposing specific time limits.  Moral of the story, begin somewhere and the rest will follow. 

Since completing those projects I noticed that certain areas in my living room looked bare and unfinished, it was time to redecorate my mantle and mirror display area.  I had a snow picture by artist Thomas Kinkade above my mantle for a few years, I also had a collection of Kinkade accessories given to me by my daughter for different occasions. It was time to make a change.

My inspiration came from a blog hop dedicated to mantle's.  I went from this

Plain and simple mantel with Kinkade snow picture.

I took down the picture, found a mirror hidden away in a closet, took my angel collection and designed a new more spring look for my mantle.  My original idea was to have it all white and yellow but the mirror and candlestick holders are silver, my angels are blue, a pretty look so for now they will stay that color until I can freshen them by painting the angel and mirror white and get white candlestick holders. 

Silver mirror, Candlestickholders, Angel collection.

Than I went on to decorate the mirrored display area and added some of my favorite crystal pieces

I like Rose Bowls so I have several of those, different sizes, large and small. Crystal vase and Angels. And a crystal, antique creamer, one of my mom's favorite pieces.

Crystal pieces.

So out of one organizing project I was able to clean, organize, sell items in a garage sale and redecorate my mantle and display case.
