Here's a quote from Rosemary
about how she chose her Blog name, Villa Barnes
Rosemary's romantic palette of whites and grays.
She can magically transform anything
with her custom painting techniques.
(magic to us, but it does involve some elbow grease from Rosemary!)
Here is her latest tutorial on transferring images onto old glass bottles.
Thankyou, Rosemary,
for sharing your creations with the rest of us!
If you live anywhere near the Chicago area be sure and look for Rosemary's show dates on her Facebook page. Then go shop your little heart out! And for some of Rosemary's great items be sure and check out her Etsy Shop too.
And for some extra inspiration from last week:
Maria from Rusty Hinge asks who loves ironstone,
and shares her wonderful display and collection.
recovered a great industrial drafting chair
with coffee sacks.
Angela at Number 53 painted some old finds and created gorgeous
Shabby Distressed Pedestal Bowls
Jeannine from The Concrete Cottage gave us a great tutorial
on the making of her DIY French Script Lamp Shade
And Simone from Fleaing France
took us to the brocante, and shared her wonderful finds.
And while you're partying today,
please join in with these other wonderful Friday link parties:
Hope you'll join in for Vintage Inspiration this week,
