Pure Romance: Shabby Chic Furniture at The Bella Cottage

Valentine's Day at last! Nothing makes me happier than gorgeous pinks and elegant designs, and what better time to share my current obsession than today?

As a self-proclaimed pink junkie and shabby chic furniture lover, I was so happy to find The Bella Cottage website-- it's got everything I want in furniture: timeless elegance, dainty twists, and yes, pink flowers! I'm planning to move out of my current apartment at the end of the year, and I think that my next place will have to have a craft room done up in shabby chic furniture. I was on a modern art slash minimalist type of phase when I moved in a couple of years ago, and all the furniture I bought was made of glass and steel. My entire desk is transparent glass, and so are most key pieces of furniture!

Isn't this absolutely divine?

Nothing says princess like this lovely little display cabinet... I love everything from the little clock up top to the curled edges to the little swing door at the bottom. I'd buy this in a heartbeat if it wasn't already sold out! (And I'm incredibly justified in going crazy over furniture like this at this point in my life-- as soon as my guy and I start living together, I'll have to pick more gender-neutral themes.)

 

And speaking of gender-neutral, I'm totally in love with shabby chic desks! I think pieces like this would be able to fit into a beige-and-neutrals themed home. Its color makes it appropriate for a home with a man in the house (sans the giant candle and rose, of course), but it's dainty enough to make me happy. I'm loving the curlicues on the desk drawers and the unexpected wavy cut to its edges.

 

As a finishing touch to some truly beautiful furniture, they've also got these shabby chic frames to add the perfect pink pop! Check out the ornate styling on the sides and corners... this is the type of frame that you buy six or seven of in alternating colors. I can totally imagine them displayed in pink and white atop an ornate display cabinet, featuring the most romantic moments of my life. :)

In any case, I do wish my gorgeous readers a lovely Valentine's Day! I'm off to a wonderful whole day date with my guy... Stay beautiful, everyone! :D
