welcome to sheazzie loo's


Welcome to Sheazzie Loo's! It's a beautiful store in the town of Fairport. I teamed up with the owner, Mary, and is now selling my creations!! I am so excited to have my things in her wonderful store. Mary takes old furniture, paints and distresses it, and they are masterpieces! Just take a look around...


By the front counter, some of my handmade tags are displayed in the drawers. I just love how she displays items.


If my husband and I ever re-do our bedroom, I would love to get this matching set.


The "black and white room" as she calls it, wonderful French inspired things. Love the color of the walls!


Another shot of the dresser set. She doesn't have much Christmas decorations, just beautiful feather trees around the shop. Every time I go in, things are rearranged, keeping things fresh looking.


Picture of the front counter. See my pink feather wreath and photo cards?!? Yay!




Another pic of the "black and white room", see my shabby wreath? Yay again!




This is one of her newest creations, a antique dresser, she painted it and distressed it, just beautiful! Love the detailing! Another one of my photographs displayed! Do you see that pink wire dress form? Love it!

If your in the area, it is a must see! All kinds of pretty and shabby chic looking things!



enjoy!

vintage christmas bulbs


The past couple of years I have been picking up vintage Christmas ornaments where ever I saw them. Some I got crazy deals on them, and paid next to nothing.
Taking them out this year I realized just how many I had...


The cloches I won at an auction back in September came to be very handy with displaying the bulbs. I decided to color coordinate them in each container. The very large on in the middle was pretty tricky to fill. I had to slide a book underneath when putting it on the coffee table. The one on the right with all the pastel colors is my favorite!

Aren't the colors just amazing?! When ever I see some out and about I try not to buy anymore, only if they are pink, I am hoping to making a wreath out of them for next year!
Have a great weekend!!

decorating the outdoors





For the past couple of years, my Father-in-law has given us a fresh Christmas tree for our house. He grows them on their family's 400 acre property. My Hubby's Grandmother also makes wreaths like this beautiful one every year for the whole family.

I wanted to do something different in my large window box, and couldn't really think of anything too exciting. When I was putting these fresh Christmas greens in them, I stuck a couple of strands of lights and put these old ice skating skates and a big plaid bow. I wasn't really the look I was going for but I'm liking how it turned out.




One of my absolutely favorite things about Christmas is the smell of cedar, pine, noble, any of the Christmas greens!



Here is the front of the house, I made up some red velvet bows for the posts. I am thinking next year of changing over to burgundy.

decorating the hutch


This weekend I finished up decorating my hutch for the Christmas season. I was excited to use my new holiday plates that I got at Home Goods. Last year I got a set of plates that I used at the Dollar store, but they weren't cutting it. :) And the new ones only cost $12.



The colors in the plates are a really nice red and green, not too bright of colors. I used the same dinner plates behind them as I used when I decorated for Fall. The sparkly snowflakes are napkin holder I bought at Pottery Barn a couple of years ago when they went on clearance.

I used some of my lace trees around the house for decorating. The white tree on top was another Home Goods find, the same day I got the plates.


I also addded some glittery leaf picks here and there to give the hutch some glamour.


I wasn't sure what to do with the counter, so I used a holiday placemat and added some leaf stems and more glittery ornaments.
I don't know if mine is as nice as my parents, but I am happy with how it turned out! :)

decorating for the holidays

I went over my parents to visit on Friday and my Mom had most of her holiday decorating done. I always love seeing how she decorates the house. Seeing things from my childhood and seeing new items she has put together.

I absolutely loved how she decorated her hutch this year. Leaving the blue mixed in with the red and green looks really great I think!




Simple touch to the mirror in the dinning room, adding a little greenery to it adds a lot of character.



A sign of Christmas in the household is my Mom's glittery Santa collection. Over the years the Santa family has grown and grown. I used to be on the look out for glittery Santa's when I was Christmas shopping for her. Now she says that she has too many :) I have actually started a collection of them myself, I think I only have 4 though. lol.





And my parents little but beautiful Christmas tree. I have given her grief over the past 2 or 3 years of putting a small tree up since my brother and I aren't living there anymore. But I have to say that it always turns out adorable!

Stay tuned for photos of my decorating coming up in the next couple of days! :)
Hope you enjoyed another tour of my parents beautiful house!
