Garden Bikes

As I get ready to close up Junk Chic Cottage #4 I am beginning to find new owners for some of my outdoor pieces.




I need to find a new home for this sweet pink and white Schwinn.
She is a beautiful addition to any garden.  She has good bones and a beautiful basket and vintage bell.


Thought I would take you down memory lane and show you some of my garden bikes from my past gardens. 

Another vintage Schwinn.



I have had some beautiful garden bikes in the past.  It was fun to go down memory lane.  With going into a condo or townhome I do not think I will have room again for another garden bike.  I will however have beautiful memories of the bikes I have had in the past.

We have our home inspection tomorrow and then if all goes well we will be over that hurdle and on to the next phase of getting closer to closing.
Wish us luck tomorrow that all will go well and we can begin to move onto finalizing the contract.
Prayers and good wishes something will come onto the market for us so we will not be homeless lol!

  1. These bikes are all so beautiful! :D I am confident that the perfect home will come on the market for y'all....Keep the faith! You sold your home to quickly for God not to provide options for y'all! Maybe you could have a mini bike planter for your new home, for a coffee table or centerpiece or something....

  6. You have had so much fun Kris, over the years, decorating. We have been truly inspired by your skills and talents and have been along this journey with you. I know you've come to this point in selling your home so successfully that I just KNOW that the next phase will be just as thrilling. I just know that your creative self will find new ways of making a dwelling a real home. You always do!

  7. Oooh, I love all your garden bikes! You are inspiring me to do something with mine this year...give it a fresh coat of paint and add a basket to the back. I know you will still manage to make your new place look spectacular! I'm confident with all the work y'all gave done on your home, it will pass with flying colors. I'm praying the perfect place shows up so you can move forward.
    Hugs, Cecilia

  11. Good luck with inspection! Sounds like your RE market is like Denver's. Not enough homes to purchase after selling! Embrace the process! You might have fun in a short term option in a temporary space! laura in Colorado (Realtor)

  16. I didn’t realize you had so many bikes over the years! You’ve planted them so nicely and they fit into each setting well. Somehow I believe your home will pass with flying colors, especially since you added that nice garage.

  18. I am sure the bike will find a home. I could not live in a condo as neighbors too close. Most do not have garden/backyard spaces and often have HOA rules.

    I am praying all will go well. Lots of love, Carla

  22. Good luck on that inspection...and I bet that bike will bring top dollar. So pretty and if you post the pictures of it in the garden, you'll have people fighting over it!! Gorgeous. xoxo

  23. If my husband wouldn't kill me I'd say I'll take your bike! I've always loved seeing your garden bikes over the years. I'm sure things will go smoothly -- your cottage is lovely. Good luck in the search! xo Kathleen

  24. I loved all your vintage bikes and how you dressed them. If I lived closer, I'd buy the Schwinn from you. Hope the home inspection goes well. Sometimes if an inspector can't find anything really wrong with a house, he will nitpick on piddly things. I always felt my husband was honest and thorough in his inspections. Still praying for just the right home for you and Terry, Buddy too! xoxo

  26. Hi Kim! I've always enjoyed your bikes over the years - so pretty and welcoming. We had our moving sale last weekend. The weather really cooperated and re-homed lots of our stuff. Our house goes on the market next month. Wishing you all the best in your new home search. Jane
