Spring is almost here ...

... and we've been two very busy gals antique picking, hunting down the 

perfect items to decorate that special room - shabby chic style!  

We went up to the northern part of New Hampshire, on the antique trail, and are so excited to offer our unique and special finds to our Painted Cottage shoppers!

AND today we brought in a mountain of these new treasures for our PAINTED COTTAGE show room.  The Painted CottAge has been completely transformed and we absolutely LOVE it!  

WE would love to hear from you, so please let us know what YOU think!

 Fresh Inventory!

New shabby chic style furniture

 New wall art!

It's been an amazing first month, and we've had the pleasure of meeting many new people, and it's been a lot of fun!  We've been asked to make custom items, refinishing antique furniture, personal shopping and the list goes on!  SO much fun, and if you are looking for a specific item, a piece of furniture - just let us know.  We come across so many home accessories and the like, that we may even have it in our storage room!  

New framed art and mirrors!

Also, don't forget we also do personal shopping and would love to 

help accessorize your home, or even that special room.  

Send us an email  @ thepaintedcottagenh@gmail.com, and let us 

know what you have in mind.

Do you remember ....

 ... do you remember what our room looked like before 

we added the accessories?
Yes, this one ...

Here's the AFTER ... ENJOY!

As you can see we LOVE to accessorize!

This could be yours ...

Tomorrow is our big day!  

One we've been waiting for, for quite awhile.  There is 

still much preparation to be done 

but the finish line is in sight.  We have heard from many of you 

who will be joining us during our opening night and 

we appreciate all of your support.  

Hopefully we can entice more of you to stop by as we will 

be giving away this handmade burlap banner.  

This beautiful piece, handmade by our very own TPC crafty Amanda, 

can be used anywhere around your home (i.e. Your porch, entry way, 

kitchen, and/or the way we have it displayed here - so, so many uses!).  

There are rings on each end so you can easily 

place it in that special spot.  All you have to do is leave your 

name and email address during your visit in The Painted Cottage on 

our Grand Opening Night.  

We will pick one lucky winner at the end of the night!

Welcome to The Painted Cottage!

 The Painted Cottage is born of 2 friends' desire to create, decorate, and help beautify the world one small town at a time!

Anita and Amanda met in the small village of Mont Vernon, New Hampshire almost four years ago.  From wildly different backgrounds we have grown to become close friends who share many things in common.  Through our blog and new shoppe we hope to now share our passion with you!

A dream of ours has always been to have our own shops that we can design from the ground up.  While a full on retail store isn't in the cards yet, we are starting in a much smaller, but equally beautiful room inside Robin's Egg in Milford, NH.  In this first post you can follow us on our journey in turning a small dark closet of a room to a bright, airy, cottage styled showroom.


~ OUR SPACE ... the beginning ~

Welcome to our darling space.  The first thing we knew had to go in the room were the super dark green/gray walls that closed in the space.  We chose a soothing watery aqua green color to freshen things up.  A mere three coats of this color really did wonders in the room and set the palette of our whole design scheme.

We had a vision for this room and the mantle (on loan from Robin - the owner of Robin's Egg) helped create the illusion of an interior wall. 

A curtain rod with sheers and a vintage window hung above pull together the look.  We have so many ideas for accessorizing this wall for all the seasons!  Oh the possibilities!

The overall theme of items is vintage and Shabby Chic.  But don't let those words sway you.  Our handmade treasures, re purposed furniture,  and found objects can mix nicely with a variety of styles.  Over the last weeks, we have been adding inventory to our space, and we are almost ready to open our doors!

This was a little sneak peek of our lovely space while we busily prepare for our  
Grand Opening on February 16 from 5-7:30PM 
for the Souhegan Valley Chamber of Commerce Business 
After Hours Event.  
All is welcome, and we would love for you to stop by our 
Painted Cottage and say hello to us!

In addition there will be raffles, discount shopping and refreshments offered.

Thanks for joining us on our new adventure, and stay tuned to our new blog for many exciting things ahead!  Be sure to bookmark us and you can also find us on Facebook listed as "ThePaintedCottageNH"
