Joelle Dolce Bebe: flea market finds

I Love The Bella Cottage and all the wonderful pieces of furniture in it. I also know not all of us can afford such elegant pieces yet still want to have that gorgeous look. Here is a link to a great DIY tip using The Bella Cottage appliques. I LOVE them. You can use them for so many things. You can take an old piece of furniture You thought you would throw away or give away and paint it and add these appliques and You have a totally new piece of furniture. Awesome! You also feel pretty good about yourself Recycling, not spending alot of money and just because YOU did it.

Not everyone can afford expensive, French or even new furniture. At least you know we can help you get the look you want within your budget. You would be surprised. Some of the wealthiest people in the world go treasure hunting in dumpsters. Its all in the Hunt! Open Your eyes to all the possibilities. Dreaming, designing and creating is such a wonderful journey!
