Cottage of the Month - August '08

 Welcome to Barbara's sweetly decorated home.
 
Remember you can click any photo below to enlarge..



























Barbara and her husband have resided in Ennis, Texas for the past 16 years. Barbara's home is filled with things she loves, many of which were collected from Saturday morning treasure hunt outings, in the hopes of finding that one special piece that will fit just right in her home. 
 
Barbara's style is romantic cottage, with a touch of Shabby Chic. She loves to show her home off when visitors come by. "They say our house is a museum of unique treasures" says Barbara. She's been featured in her hometown magazine, as well as newspaper articles. Her favorite room is her living room because it shows off her collections and her decorating style. 
 
One of Barbara's favorite decorating ideas is using old frames to surround unique items. She also uses old sheet music with a rose theme as a wall border. Barbara's home is filled with rose themed items, pink Fenton glass, architectural items used in unique ways, pink pyrex and jadeite dishes, as well as crystal chandeliers. She enjoys shopping in Waxahachie, Texas. A historical city with a town square filled with antique shops, which Barbara frequents quite often. 
 
You can view Barbara's items on eBay, under the user id smalltowntreasures -JG.
