Join me if you will....on a little trip back in time....when I told you guys about a little thing called....the Urban Plains Project. While Mary and I were busy working on makeovers in our homes....we had the most wonderful thing happen....an opportunity to work with Cabbages & Roses. To say I was excited and honored would be a huge understatment. I adore Cabbages & Roses style and loved the chance to bring a bit of the English Country Style into my home.
and here's a couple photos with my notes as to what I'll be doing. I'll be wallpapering, painting and....
doing a special wall treatment with fabric and adding some beadboard and mouldings too. I hope that when it's all done, walking into my home will be like your stepping into an english farmhouse....that's the hope anyway.
And here's the yumminess I get to work with....gorgeous Natural Hatley Wallpaper, Provence Toile and Natural Hatley fabric.So there's the plan.
Now tune back in the first week of May to see mine and Mary's transformed spaces....
and should you need a little english country fix while you wait....just check out Cabbages & Roses blog and website for inspiration.

Those blues are just so pretty! I can't wait to see what you do with them...:)
