WOW, have we really had 100 parties? Please know how much that I appreciate every one of you that have joined in at my party. So many great participants last week. I have had very little time to go through the links since we were at our beach condo installing new flooring and then went out of town on Saturday. Thank you for the wonderful turnout, I think it was the biggest one yet:) I did manage to choose a few to feature though. I hope these inspire you to get out there and create and shop for those bargains. <br /> Thanks for coming to my party,<br /> Linda<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hphbr9M6hqw/TyX9Trod5bI/AAAAAAAAG9s/oY8tSbqwblA/s1600/IMG_7810.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We purchased this condo back in 2003 and at that time, I never really thought that we would keep it this long, but we have and I am sure glad we still call it HOME. While eating our dinner tonight, just look at the view we had, it just doesn't get any better than this! Okay, I'm sure that you are here because you want to see the reveal of my THRIFTY FLOORING...right? Well, we are all finish and here they are! Sorry that the pics are not better, but it was after dark and we don't have very good lighting in this room.<br /> So happy that you came by,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LZY33e7r86A/TyI9h6mbfAI/AAAAAAAAG40/FYlRRT0oDts/s1600/IMG_7735.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LZY33e7r86A/TyI9h6mbfAI/AAAAAAAAG40/FYlRRT0oDts/s640/IMG_7735.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Our Lord at work!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hBFSZBCv-yw/TyI9uIboioI/AAAAAAAAG48/CHs3cnscIsg/s1600/IMG_7740.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hBFSZBCv-yw/TyI9uIboioI/AAAAAAAAG48/CHs3cnscIsg/s640/IMG_7740.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The finished room!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TOTAL cost...$240.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pWcHwZ-Hdow/TyI-Mr_fl2I/AAAAAAAAG5I/pDWBNl3eDCU/s1600/IMG_7744.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pWcHwZ-Hdow/TyI-Mr_fl2I/AAAAAAAAG5I/pDWBNl3eDCU/s640/IMG_7744.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This is a very SMALL bedroom and<br /> most of the floor is hidden by furniture,<br /> so that was the reason that I went the<br /> THRIFTY route on this flooring.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gnxks2gZnCo/TyI-VaRYegI/AAAAAAAAG5Q/CVfutz4y-zs/s1600/IMG_7745.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gnxks2gZnCo/TyI-VaRYegI/AAAAAAAAG5Q/CVfutz4y-zs/s640/IMG_7745.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Oh no...looks like I didn't do a real<br /> good job mopping...I guess I was<br /> just worn out!

In 26 years of marriage, Mr.CC and I have never installed peel and stick flooring until now. When I went looking for new flooring for a bedroom, I came across this self adhesive embossed vinyl plank and I was SOLD when I heard the price. It has the LOOK and FEEL of handscraped wood and best of all, we can install it and save a lot of money on installation. So are you wondering where this is going? It's going in a bedroom at our beach condo...oh yes...I'm at the beach with the balcony door open and enjoying hearing that wonderful sound of the surf (I could listen to it for hours). With the temps in the 70's, it feels like a spring day here and I'm okay with that. I better go for now and get back to work, please check back in for the reveal of the new floor...I think you will be surprise! I also will be sharing the brand and where you can find it.<br /> So happy to have ya here,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E3ToI8I4LK8/TyCDaBLUgmI/AAAAAAAAG4E/VCwIOcCFrHc/s1600/IMG_7724.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It has been in the 70's here for the past week and the forecast is calling for the same for the next ten days...oh happy day (you see...I'm not a winter gal). We have finished painting the kitchen, so you know what that means...right? When you change one thing, then other things need changing, so I have started the first piece of furniture that will get a makeover. I'm hoping that I will wrap this one up today, then off to the second victim. When I get it all the makeovers finished, then I will share with y'all a tour of my new kitchen...until then...here is a sneak peek of the wall color and victim number one.<br /> Thanks for the visit and comments,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QU6qlR1tq6w/TxtwDFe_hqI/AAAAAAAAG3M/bUFHZI5DXpA/s1600/IMG_7717.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nfa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QU6qlR1tq6w/TxtwDFe_hqI/AAAAAAAAG3M/bUFHZI5DXpA/s640/IMG_7717.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4580898216375218583-5952073225717485568?l=linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Linda@Coastal Charmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01216295757799446261noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580898216375218583.post-43489090438209605842012-01-20T16:07:00.000-06:002012-01-26T14:52:41.433-06:00Frenchy ChairHope everyone is having one wonderful week...mine has been super busy and wonderful too.

Have you started any new thrifty DIY projects this year? Today, I have started my first one, painting my kitchen. Are you kidding me? I thought you just painted that room...well I did...but that was two years ago. Oh yes...only a short two years later and I am painting it again, but I have been dreaming of a new color and you know...we all love our dreams to come true...don't we? Looking forward to sharing it with y'all, when it's all done, think you will like it...I sure do. Today, I will be sharing some thrifty treasures that I have found. Who doesn't like finding real white ironstone for just pennies...I know I sure do. I'm not sharing the best deal with y'all today, that will come later, when my vintage china cabinet gets it's makeover (shame on me for teasing you like that). It's time to get this party going, so link right up and go visit your neighbors here at NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAY!!!<br /> Happy to have ya here,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" kba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hNz7TGdDd1A/TxOqHwOrGNI/AAAAAAAAG0c/unShbtPtdo8/s640/IMG_7703.JPG" width="426" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My $4.50 treasure!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NomitUm-lvo/TxOp_8nVzCI/AAAAAAAAG0U/HdNWfeehLiI/s1600/IMG_7705.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" kba="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NomitUm-lvo/TxOp_8nVzCI/AAAAAAAAG0U/HdNWfeehLiI/s640/IMG_7705.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> As soon as I saw this at a flea market back in<br /> November...I knew that she would come home<br /> with me...love her style!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_KqtHewyc1g/TxOqUd26FJI/AAAAAAAAG0o/Agx1_S785-g/s1600/IMG_7688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" kba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_KqtHewyc1g/TxOqUd26FJI/AAAAAAAAG0o/Agx1_S785-g/s640/IMG_7688.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> My large dough bowl has found a new home<br /> in my dining room.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wc7htvqRqTw/TxOqdDOCw7I/AAAAAAAAG0w/6QbV2J80Gos/s1600/IMG_7692.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" kba="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wc7htvqRqTw/TxOqdDOCw7I/AAAAAAAAG0w/6QbV2J80Gos/s640/IMG_7692.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Another thrifty treasure...found this tureen<br /> at an estate sale...only $1.00!

Since I opened up in mid November, things have been flying out the door and I feel so very blessed that my business has had such an awesome start. The month of December was a very busy month and so far January has been going well too. I went in at the first of week with some new furniture and did a re-do on my space...I never like keeping it the same for to long. I'm hoping to get some sewing done later this month...I really need to get some one of a kind pillows made for my customers. I really like meeting the people who shop with me. This week I met a very sweet young girl (high school senior) who had came back to get a cute wooden tote that I had and she was so excited that it was still there. I'm so excited that some of y'all (my readers) have come by and visited my space, it always makes my day when one of the employees tell me that someone had came by from my BLOG...thank you from the bottom of my heart! Back in December at our Christmas Open House, I had a wonderful surprise that really made me know just why I keep this blog going. One of my local readers came in to meet me and she had made me a beautiful scarf for Christmas...oh my...I was soooo excited!!! Her name is Marcie (she doesn't have a blog...sounds like she should...cause I think she would have some wonderful things to share with all of us)...so if you are reading this Marcie...thanks again for my AUBURN scarf....with this cold weather that we are having....I'm so going to wear it this weekend. If you know when you might be here, please let me know, cause I would love to meet ya and maybe we could do lunch. <br /> Happy to have ya here,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The look all came about with the use of paris grey paint/clear wax/dark wax...oh sooooo easy! I covered the seat with a piece from a burlap feed sack and I'm so lovin' how her makeover looks. If you don't think you can mix and match different styles...well I say you can...go for it...I think you will be happy with the end results. Here at Coastal Charm I have several styles going on...COASTAL/FARMHOUSE/COTTAGE/FRENCH are the main ones you will find here...what's your style?

To be honest...I almost did! I have been painting items for my shop for the last 5 days and today I did a huge re-do...so it was really the only thing on my mind. Come back later this week to see the new look. Today I'm sharing a few of my favorites from last weeks party...it was really hard to only pick only a few...but that's all I had time to...maybe more next time. <span style="background-color: yellow;">PLEASE be sure to link back to MY BLOG on YOUR POST...so all your friends know that you are HERE...THANK YOU!!!</span><br /> Blessings,<br /> Linda<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-inxutbxMFtE/TwuLyBWaUuI/AAAAAAAAGo4/1z0_UuI55XA/s1600/P1140282pillow%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-inxutbxMFtE/TwuLyBWaUuI/AAAAAAAAGo4/1z0_UuI55XA/s640/P1140282pillow%255B1%255D.jpg" width="428" /></a><br /> Debbie at <a href="http://debbie-debbiedoos.blogspot.com/2012/01/diy-no-sew-burlap-pillow-grain-sacks.html">Debbiedoo's</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uBy-Y6T8pPc/TwuL1Alu8hI/AAAAAAAAGpA/mu_L3DrSAN4/s1600/Chalkboard_and_bedroom_016%255B2%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uBy-Y6T8pPc/TwuL1Alu8hI/AAAAAAAAGpA/mu_L3DrSAN4/s640/Chalkboard_and_bedroom_016%255B2%255D.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> Jody at <a href="http://homeyhomedesign.blogspot.com/2012/01/chalkboard-in-pantry.html">Homey Home Design</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Miza0xDt8CQ/TwuL8ypAipI/AAAAAAAAGpQ/fMxLbpIAmyI/s1600/suitcase%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Miza0xDt8CQ/TwuL8ypAipI/AAAAAAAAGpQ/fMxLbpIAmyI/s640/suitcase%255B1%255D.jpg" width="514" /></a></div> Carlene at <a href="http://organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-suitcase-becomes-winter.html">Organized Clutter</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Owk185tFrmc/TwuL34xyfvI/AAAAAAAAGpI/k5Syk_lJdGE/s1600/DSCN0072%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Owk185tFrmc/TwuL34xyfvI/AAAAAAAAGpI/k5Syk_lJdGE/s640/DSCN0072%255B1%255D.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Elle at <a href="http://inspiredapartment.blogspot.com/2012/01/ballard-designs-inspired-shelves.html">Inspired Apartment</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">****Please everyone, follow these guidelines!**** </div><br />1.

Until the last few years...I never minded looking in one...but since I started putting on so many pounds...I just try not to look in them anymore. I'm so hoping to get a lot of these extra pounds off so I can enjoy all my pretty mirrors again. Today I pulled out some of my Annie Sloan chalk paint and got to work on this one. I used some paris grey paint, then added dark wax and this plain jane mirror came to life...love the power of paint!!! Today is a big day here at COASTAL CHARM...it's time to announce the WINNER of the ANNIE SLOAN CHALK PAINT GIVEAWAY from COTTAGE ATTITUDES and the WINNER of the cute apron/soapdish/soap...so let's see who these lucky gal's are. Winners will be announce at the end of the post:)<br /> Thanks for coming by,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u166xxsc3-U/TwZWascNj4I/AAAAAAAAGnQ/ART-60QIOpI/s1600/IMG_7531.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u166xxsc3-U/TwZWascNj4I/AAAAAAAAGnQ/ART-60QIOpI/s640/IMG_7531.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Here she is!!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TU1BRg7GKMM/TwY86L-2FEI/AAAAAAAAGlg/fmWIAWS7wos/s1600/IMG_7502.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TU1BRg7GKMM/TwY86L-2FEI/AAAAAAAAGlg/fmWIAWS7wos/s640/IMG_7502.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Before I got my hands on her.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5yoNquUUuGw/TwY9EmhUcYI/AAAAAAAAGlo/MgTtsWDF9BM/s1600/IMG_7504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5yoNquUUuGw/TwY9EmhUcYI/AAAAAAAAGlo/MgTtsWDF9BM/s640/IMG_7504.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Pretty detail and shape.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--mQvpyBzfqI/TwY9Le198HI/AAAAAAAAGlw/obP8YSwlFws/s1600/IMG_7506.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--mQvpyBzfqI/TwY9Le198HI/AAAAAAAAGlw/obP8YSwlFws/s640/IMG_7506.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Before the dark wax.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6LLbDNPztZs/TwY9QYCN_LI/AAAAAAAAGl4/d_pzvQHYQlY/s1600/IMG_7508.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6LLbDNPztZs/TwY9QYCN_LI/AAAAAAAAGl4/d_pzvQHYQlY/s640/IMG_7508.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xGimNDY58sg/TwY9YRNAxYI/AAAAAAAAGmE/e7ceekDqlsg/s1600/IMG_7507.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xGimNDY58sg/TwY9YRNAxYI/AAAAAAAAGmE/e7ceekDqlsg/s640/IMG_7507.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BXU2WugCKqQ/TwY9mLfW9PI/AAAAAAAAGmM/HebeZ1emZ3k/s1600/IMG_7532.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BXU2WugCKqQ/TwY9mLfW9PI/AAAAAAAAGmM/HebeZ1emZ3k/s640/IMG_7532.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9vnKgjQD8u8/TwY9rH-u13I/AAAAAAAAGmU/mOIFEvA5Dj8/s1600/IMG_7539.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9vnKgjQD8u8/TwY9rH-u13I/AAAAAAAAGmU/mOIFEvA5Dj8/s640/IMG_7539.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Lovin' how she is looking here<br /> in the guestroom.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LxnAYx-6d4M/TwY9zaUlwbI/AAAAAAAAGmg/BjSUW5cXa1M/s1600/IMG_7512.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LxnAYx-6d4M/TwY9zaUlwbI/AAAAAAAAGmg/BjSUW5cXa1M/s640/IMG_7512.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Coastal touches here at my nest.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8YTqVJGWL3o/TwY94r0QcoI/AAAAAAAAGmo/cLwH1LF0pvo/s1600/IMG_7510.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8YTqVJGWL3o/TwY94r0QcoI/AAAAAAAAGmo/cLwH1LF0pvo/s640/IMG_7510.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f0bGJGDlN0g/TwY9-ANudMI/AAAAAAAAGmw/85T8pxkw-XI/s1600/IMG_7535.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f0bGJGDlN0g/TwY9-ANudMI/AAAAAAAAGmw/85T8pxkw-XI/s640/IMG_7535.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Look hard and you will see <br /> my size 2 wedding dress...will<br /> I ever be that size again?

The two of us work pretty well together (thank goodness) when it comes to doing home DIY projects, so we are not afraid to jump right in there to get her done!!! The vanity really needed to be replaced, let's just say...it was falling apart:( This is a very small bathroom, so we were limited on the size of vanity that we could install and that meant, we had to do a ton of shopping around for just the right one. The one we found was a unfinished vanity...I knew right away that I would get out some of my ASCP and get to work. We found the perfect counter/sink to go with it, then a new faucet was the next thing on the list. After this was all complete, I decided to put up a new shelf, now this meant another ASCP victim was on my to-do list. Okay...it's now time to see what we did!<br /> I would love to hear what<br /> ya think,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EITDTah35mU/TwPomTh5iLI/AAAAAAAAGj0/H1TozcBdZv8/s1600/IMG_7476.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EITDTah35mU/TwPomTh5iLI/AAAAAAAAGj0/H1TozcBdZv8/s640/IMG_7476.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Oh...I'm lovin' it!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JjxraqxX6VM/TwPov085oJI/AAAAAAAAGj8/9aE_z09wPdk/s1600/IMG_7478.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JjxraqxX6VM/TwPov085oJI/AAAAAAAAGj8/9aE_z09wPdk/s640/IMG_7478.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> I use warm colors in the condo at this<br /> time, a few years ago this room was <br /> lime green!

I will be sharing this little Ballard's Backroom shelf that I have had for years that I did a makeover on yesterday. I wanted to change out the shelf that was in this bathroom at my beach condo, so I decided that I would do a makeover with this oldie but goodie. Love how it turned out...even though I was up to 1:30 last night finishing it...oh well it was worth it. Okay now it's time to see what y'all have to share.<br /> Thanks for coming to<br /> my party...hope you<br /> have a good time,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CmbBad6fJJg/TwJWc-6to5I/AAAAAAAAGiY/A6OlPws53j4/s1600/IMG_7471.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CmbBad6fJJg/TwJWc-6to5I/AAAAAAAAGiY/A6OlPws53j4/s640/IMG_7471.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> The new look!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ar7b0i_s2_I/TwJWip6-_CI/AAAAAAAAGig/wnU6fWQkAvE/s1600/IMG_7441.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ar7b0i_s2_I/TwJWip6-_CI/AAAAAAAAGig/wnU6fWQkAvE/s640/IMG_7441.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> This is how it started out.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8nYdg4Fcg-o/TwJWn7VhonI/AAAAAAAAGio/fAd6SUOtEpk/s1600/IMG_7443.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8nYdg4Fcg-o/TwJWn7VhonI/AAAAAAAAGio/fAd6SUOtEpk/s640/IMG_7443.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Love me some beadboard...don't you?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3ib3aRHgOk/TwJWt6KXSDI/AAAAAAAAGi0/g4ptHkLihHA/s1600/IMG_7445.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3ib3aRHgOk/TwJWt6KXSDI/AAAAAAAAGi0/g4ptHkLihHA/s640/IMG_7445.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Annie Sloan Chalk Paint..Coco<br /> is one of my favorite colors!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-80-wKIz4rnE/TwJWz85UaoI/AAAAAAAAGi8/4hNkwsaHO7Q/s1600/IMG_7448.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-80-wKIz4rnE/TwJWz85UaoI/AAAAAAAAGi8/4hNkwsaHO7Q/s640/IMG_7448.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2QROqVsB4pI/TwJW6PDwIGI/AAAAAAAAGjE/QOly3fJ21b0/s1600/IMG_7452.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2QROqVsB4pI/TwJW6PDwIGI/AAAAAAAAGjE/QOly3fJ21b0/s640/IMG_7452.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> If you have not entered the Annie Sloan<br /> Chalk Paint <a href="http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com/2011/12/nifty-thrifty-tuesday-no93-and-annie.html">Giveaway</a> here at Coastal<br /> Charm...click <a href="http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com/2011/12/nifty-thrifty-tuesday-no93-and-annie.html">HERE</a>...to enter before<br /> it ends on the 5th.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xp4esPpnFIs/TwJXAgcNsjI/AAAAAAAAGjM/0ItZXLCVxE8/s1600/IMG_7483.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xp4esPpnFIs/TwJXAgcNsjI/AAAAAAAAGjM/0ItZXLCVxE8/s640/IMG_7483.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DNkKDvZcNwg/TwJXi2Wud4I/AAAAAAAAGjc/SHnyY3d6AVY/s1600/IMG_7473.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DNkKDvZcNwg/TwJXi2Wud4I/AAAAAAAAGjc/SHnyY3d6AVY/s640/IMG_7473.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Come back later this week to see the<br /> rest of the makeover here in this room.<br /><br /><br />****Please everyone, follow these guidelines!**** <br />1 Please make sure that you have put my NTT button or my blog name with a link on your post where it is easy for others to find it...the more people at the party...the more fun we will all have here.

Here on the Alabama coast, you just never know what each day will bring when it comes to the weather. I'm hearing that next week our highs will only be in the low 50's and one day it will not get out of the 40's and we will be in the 20's at night ....see what I mean. Tonight after our bowl game is over...we will then head over to a big celebration at the Wharf...they always have some good bands and beautiful fireworks....if you are a local...check it out! How are you ringing in the NEW YEAR in your area? This past year had a few changes here at Coastal Charm...our daughter got married in July and a new member was added to our family and I started a new business in November-COASTAL CHARM INTERIORS. Now I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen here in 2012! I wish each and everyone of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!<br /> See ya in 2012,<br /> Linda<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KcHa6wJZMwQ/Tv0ueUs7caI/AAAAAAAAGh4/aWDN6o-FI-g/s1600/IMG_3596%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KcHa6wJZMwQ/Tv0ueUs7caI/AAAAAAAAGh4/aWDN6o-FI-g/s640/IMG_3596%255B1%255D.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> A beautiful NEW YEARS EVE<br /> here on the COAST!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aV3k57pwT_M/Tv0uhaPmFMI/AAAAAAAAGiA/GRJojE5Oc8M/s1600/IMG_3584%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aV3k57pwT_M/Tv0uhaPmFMI/AAAAAAAAGiA/GRJojE5Oc8M/s640/IMG_3584%255B1%255D.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The hot tub is calling</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">my name!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y_Ko8mDX8o4/Tv0vUr7xLII/AAAAAAAAGiM/rfTuwl3J3FU/s1600/IMG_7295.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y_Ko8mDX8o4/Tv0vUr7xLII/AAAAAAAAGiM/rfTuwl3J3FU/s640/IMG_7295.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The FAM!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4580898216375218583-3379217312725169819?l=linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Linda@Coastal Charmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01216295757799446261noreply@blogger.com44tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580898216375218583.post-47292072133615345502011-12-30T20:09:00.000-06:002012-01-26T09:19:04.636-06:00Chalk It UpI've been a busy bee just lately making chalkboards for my shop and it looks like I will continue this trend. I'm having a lot of luck with them, they sell as fast as I can make them...now that's a good thing. I'm trying to have a good variety of them...small...medium...extra large and even some window chalkboards. Yes...I'm taking old windows and adding some unique items to them for some one of a kind chalkboards. My first one went to my daughter and SIL as a Christmas gift...now let's take a look at what it looked like. Looking forward to making more of these next week, so please be sure to check back in to see what I do with them.<br /> Happy to have you here,<br /> Linda<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Or maybe...Mr.CC needs to get cooking (just kidding), but he is the best cook in the house. I do plan on making some baked goods with Mary Claire this week...okay now what should we make? I will get my cookbooks out and some of my favorite magazines to see what I can find. Have you got all your sweets ready? I spent several hours on Sunday wrapping all the gifts, so now we have packages under all the trees. I think I drive my family crazy with how my packages match my trees...I just like the look of it...how about you...do you do this too? Come back tomorrow and I will share with you my matching trees and packages. Today I'm going to let the pictures do all the talkin'.

Our foyer is really not seen by most of our friends and family, since for some strange reason, most of them come around to the back entrance...maybe they like coming thru our screen porch (just a guess). I have a mix of items...some vintage...a little modern flair...a tad bit farmhouse and of course I have some outdoor items. How is your foyer looking this year...what style did you go with? Would love to hear from all of y'all and seeing yours too...so drop me a line! I'm at our beach condo for a few days and soaking up the wonderful 70's that we are having, but it's not all FUN in the SUN! I will start painting our new bathroom vanity tonight.<br /> Hope you all have a wonderful<br /> weekend,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MVcDisIRTdw/TupzxtQ6ezI/AAAAAAAAGRk/LN0w4PgcZqs/s1600/IMG_6952.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

This tree has always been our more formal tree, but this year I wanted the big tree in the family room to have only silver/gold/white/tan/glass/rustic ornaments, so I decided to change it all up and I did just that. I did keep the vintage tree in the same place...the kitchen is where you will find it. Okay now let's see how things are looking in the dining room in 2011!!!<br /> Happy to have you here,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_ATkGazwi20/TuV-znCJmfI/AAAAAAAAGPY/j6hTroyt0l0/s1600/IMG_6895.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_ATkGazwi20/TuV-znCJmfI/AAAAAAAAGPY/j6hTroyt0l0/s640/IMG_6895.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> A couple of NEW things this year.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X8uRnu1YxaY/TuV-8vY3kVI/AAAAAAAAGPg/Kvk5ZnDogjc/s1600/IMG_6893.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" mda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X8uRnu1YxaY/TuV-8vY3kVI/AAAAAAAAGPg/Kvk5ZnDogjc/s640/IMG_6893.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8m2FNs5kNB0/TuV_Eb3s8lI/AAAAAAAAGPo/Xh1xj2YDjGc/s1600/IMG_6909.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8m2FNs5kNB0/TuV_Eb3s8lI/AAAAAAAAGPo/Xh1xj2YDjGc/s640/IMG_6909.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Fresh cedar...smells so good!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cXJgqHN5LyQ/TuV_OsGa-zI/AAAAAAAAGP0/GJTxwux4rz0/s1600/IMG_6911.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cXJgqHN5LyQ/TuV_OsGa-zI/AAAAAAAAGP0/GJTxwux4rz0/s640/IMG_6911.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Beautiful RED BIRDS!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-90oBbxk4HE4/TuV_YF0KKXI/AAAAAAAAGP8/UhSmtxBvd1c/s1600/IMG_6898.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-90oBbxk4HE4/TuV_YF0KKXI/AAAAAAAAGP8/UhSmtxBvd1c/s640/IMG_6898.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Oh yes...put BRAND NEW lights on the<br /> tree and after a few hours some went OUT!!<br /> I'm I the only one out there having trouble<br /> keeping Christmas lights working?

It's really big and the colors are just right for my kitchen...so I had to have it...you know how that goes. I have displayed it on the bottom shelf of my buffet table in the breakfast room. I filled it with some thrift store greenery...a large monogram platter and a Ikea lantern (just about everything at Ikea is thrifty)....so see...you can have a nice vignette too for just pennies. As I look around my home at all my Christmas decor, I can say that I'm very proud of all the awesome deals that I have here.

Here at Coastal Charm we have lots of TEAM SPIRIT...we LOVE our AUBURN TIGERS all year long!!! This year I decided it was about time that we have a SPECIAL tree just for all our Auburn ornaments...so it found itself here in the breakfast room because this is where we spend a lot of time. Do you have a team tree and if so...who do you support? Thanks for coming and I will be back soon with more CHRISTMAS decor from COASTAL CHARM!<br /> Your friend,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-e0DaXswe6M4/TuPPvaSMS8I/AAAAAAAAGNE/W8bwbPrX2IE/s1600/IMG_6925.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" mda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-e0DaXswe6M4/TuPPvaSMS8I/AAAAAAAAGNE/W8bwbPrX2IE/s640/IMG_6925.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> WAR EAGLE!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-POVA5mGuiiI/TuPP1yVHOqI/AAAAAAAAGNM/bzKCsOwpIWo/s1600/IMG_6970.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-POVA5mGuiiI/TuPP1yVHOqI/AAAAAAAAGNM/bzKCsOwpIWo/s640/IMG_6970.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GboTsE2Fe6U/TuPP8TRbddI/AAAAAAAAGNU/Ym83zLILgzI/s1600/IMG_6967.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" mda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GboTsE2Fe6U/TuPP8TRbddI/AAAAAAAAGNU/Ym83zLILgzI/s640/IMG_6967.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zkg6BlVf9Nk/TuPQCfRFkrI/AAAAAAAAGNc/GRSxZ0RRmO4/s1600/IMG_6973.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zkg6BlVf9Nk/TuPQCfRFkrI/AAAAAAAAGNc/GRSxZ0RRmO4/s640/IMG_6973.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Looking forward to seeing Mr.CC in<br /> his Auburn Santa hat on Christmas<br /> morning!!! <br /> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sQ9oXFaSD8I/TuPQIa_1b0I/AAAAAAAAGNo/BncbHg4QFhg/s1600/IMG_6968.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sQ9oXFaSD8I/TuPQIa_1b0I/AAAAAAAAGNo/BncbHg4QFhg/s640/IMG_6968.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Aubie is such a CUTIE PIE!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jm5QqIZ0KqA/TuPQOX-NwwI/AAAAAAAAGNw/nlkgnNM-Exo/s1600/IMG_6972.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jm5QqIZ0KqA/TuPQOX-NwwI/AAAAAAAAGNw/nlkgnNM-Exo/s640/IMG_6972.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iOU6pwrRMb4/TuPQcMO0nHI/AAAAAAAAGN8/iN0PLl8Xsq0/s1600/IMG_6923.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iOU6pwrRMb4/TuPQcMO0nHI/AAAAAAAAGN8/iN0PLl8Xsq0/s640/IMG_6923.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Our Auburn Santa has been on our<br /> kitchen door for the past few Christmas<br /> seasons, but this year we moved him in.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o1nR300PUcg/TuPQiDb9zEI/AAAAAAAAGOE/Kgwe99yzRjc/s1600/IMG_6969.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o1nR300PUcg/TuPQiDb9zEI/AAAAAAAAGOE/Kgwe99yzRjc/s640/IMG_6969.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Auburn family is always...ALL IN!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NTWZ674ZQXU/TuPQqIV73AI/AAAAAAAAGOM/T0B8yUnveqE/s1600/IMG_6926.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NTWZ674ZQXU/TuPQqIV73AI/AAAAAAAAGOM/T0B8yUnveqE/s640/IMG_6926.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Using one of my tablecloths for the tree skirt.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iTzixCeNndE/TuPQwFTMr0I/AAAAAAAAGOU/SglQZKg8QfQ/s1600/IMG_6971.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iTzixCeNndE/TuPQwFTMr0I/AAAAAAAAGOU/SglQZKg8QfQ/s640/IMG_6971.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TcuZhhBXh7M/TuPQ2Mk63yI/AAAAAAAAGOg/NDSImy8afLc/s1600/IMG_6924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" mda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TcuZhhBXh7M/TuPQ2Mk63yI/AAAAAAAAGOg/NDSImy8afLc/s640/IMG_6924.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I'm lovin' my new chalk pen...it's so much better<br /> than the regular stuff!

It's a tad bit cold here on the coast, so we are enjoying a BIG fire and watching a family movie together here at Coastal Charm. Movie nights are still a lot of fun for us, even though we are down to just the three of us now, since Haley got married back in July. Speaking of the wedding, thought I would share some family pictures from the that big day. With this being the holiday season, FAMILY is soooo important to me, I'm sure it's important to you too. Be sure to come back later this weekend to see more of our Christmas decor...I hope to get a lot of pictures taken tomorrow if we see the SUN!<br /> Your friend,<br /> Linda<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I did get the outside decor put up this morning...had to hurry before the rain starts today. Last week we pulled out all the totes and the first area that I did was the mantel in the family room, so today I'm going to share with you a wee bit of a peek at it...so be sure to come on back later this week for the full reveal. I'm also going to share a few features from last weeks party...it's always so hard to pick just a couple to feature because you ladies bring so many wonderful ideas and thrifty treasures every week. Now please be sure to keep coming and one day you will be featured too!!! Looking forward to seeing what you all have to share with us this week, so let's get this party rolling!<br /> So happy that you<br /> came by,<br /> Linda<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OFg_ryPtg6Y/Tt0bpJZ-2sI/AAAAAAAAGBk/KhOSJXgqX4k/s1600/IMG_6819.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OFg_ryPtg6Y/Tt0bpJZ-2sI/AAAAAAAAGBk/KhOSJXgqX4k/s640/IMG_6819.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Look at this CUTE little fella...at<br /> 50% off...he was only $3.50.

I'm so happy to have you here and I hope you enjoy yourself. I have been doing a lot of praying about this for some time now...asking God to show me what I should do with my life and I feel that he has put me in a wonderful place...everything is just falling in place, doors are opening up at every step I'm taking and I haven't been this happy, in a very long time. You see, I LOVE to decorate, it's my passion and this opportunity is helping put JOY into my life...THANK YOU LORD for answering my prayers. I hope to be able to share with all of you next week about an opportunity that might even open bigger doors...if this happens...I think I will have to pinch myself and wake myself up from this DREAM! My first real day for business was on Saturday (since I was in my space all day Thursday and Friday getting it all ready) and I went by on Sunday afternoon and to my surprise, I had already made my rent for a full month...are you kidding me? I had sold two chairs, a very large chalkboard, mirror and a couple of smalls...oh my...I better get some more things painted and get them in there before this BIG weekend...wish me luck. On Sunday I put up a Christmas tree, but I was so busy that I forgot to take some pics, so I will share it later this week. First I'm going to share pics from the shop, but please be sure to stay with me, because I have the cutest Coastal Christmas ornament ever to give to one of you...info about the GIVEAWAY will be after the pics.<br /> Your coastal friend,<br /> Linda<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
