Shop your House For New Garden Cottage Decor Look

 



Have you ever just shopped your house when you want a little decor change.  I love change in my decor so if I can shop the house and move things around to get a new look it is a win win.
This is the before pic of a little garden decor.  My old iron gate and chippy bench and old window.


This is the wall now.  I took away the bench and I will show you where that landed and then added a garden apron and hat.  Just a few little changes from around the house.



This was the back of my kitchen before.



I removed the faux fireplace and dining chairs.  Added the bench and one of my bird houses ad corbels.  Moved my sweet little garden angel.  Now I feel it feels more open.
It is amazing how you can get a whole new look with just switching things around in your house.




Have a beautiful new week.  It is going to be hot hot hot here in Illinois this week.
I will be visiting my pool this week.
Hugs,
Kris

  3. Hi,
    I do the same. :-) I just did it this week. Changing things up.
    Enjoy the pool time. Do the grand-girls come for a swim too?

  5. Yep, always shop the house first. We can find pieces we haven't use and get a whole new look for free! Hot, hot here too. Back to living on the sun.

  6. Beautiful changes Kris! Such a good idea to use what you already have - in a different way and a different place. It's been so very hot here for the last month or so - but it is a little cooler today, thank goodness. Gilly (UK)

  10. Love your beautiful changes and enhancements, Kris. You always do such an amazing job and didn’t have to leave your house. I was in my fitness club pool this morning doing water aerobics. Enjoy your pool time! xo

  11. I used to like to change things up with new curtains.. I have a few panels stashed in my tub under my bed. I did just put some pink printed curtains in my bedroom, and removed the white ones. Made a big difference! Also like to move pictures around. I currently have a teacup rack on my bedroom wall, and want to move it to somewhere else so I can put a quilt ladder there! Always something to move around! Love your decor as always! xoxo Marilyn

  12. Kris, I love seeing how you decorate. I have a bunch of fake flowers and change them around lots. I don't do much decorating any more. I keep trying to minimize. Less to dust. Pray you and your family are doing well. xoxo, Susie

  13. Kris, your garden cottage decor is always such a delight. I love how you “shop your house” and create a whole new look with pieces you already have — it’s so inspiring. I love to do that too. Everything feels fresh, charming, and perfectly cottage‑cozy. You have such a gift for styling spaces with warmth and creativity. Always enjoy seeing what you come up with next.
