Burlap Luxe Home Living With Rustic Romance.
"Creating Romance."
I am so shocked and surprised with what became of a salvaged piece of rustic barn wood and
simple scraps of distressed romancing... LOVE
I was most honored with the placement of my created art piece, love sign, featured on the front cover of,
Fifi O'Neill's
Best selling Prairie-Style Weddings book...
A great Valentine gifting of rustic romance inspiring much more then weddings.

Kisses and Hugs
I gifted this sweet zinc box filled with kisses and hugs from Sundance one Valentine year to
my daughter Hannah. It sits on her chest of drawers as a sweet reminder.
My daughter Hannah's room
She is swept up in the romance and beauty of embracing pieces of old that
come together in all things rustic French flea market romance.
Here is another piece I created for my daughters room of romance.
Having had 3 scraps of wood in uneven square pieces that one may find no use, or beauty in
I began to glue and nail together a piece of poetry.
I then took a book page of old and tattered from a book of poetry inspired by poet
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and then glued the page to the surface of the stacked
pieces of wood as a gentle reminder of love.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the poet most famous for,
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach.

Dore,
Your Love sign is so front cover worthy and unique. It looks beautiful on Fifi's wedding book cover.
Hannah's bedroom is a romantic and dreamy space. The salvaged wooden pieces created to be poetic art for your daughter is a gift of love. Beautiful.

Your daughter's room is a beautiful room Dore. I know she must be so thankful for a talented mother to create for her such a place to dream. The details are all so lovely.
How wonderful that you 'LOVE' plaque will be on the cover of the book!
Whenever I visit here it makes me want to have a do-over in my own space.
much love...
So cute of her;.)
Hello sweet Dore! As always, a beautiful post. The little plaque you created is gorgeous!!! I have so many poetry books and I do read them once in a while but should do so more often. There's so much beauty in them.
I love the dresser in your first pic! I want to sand down the top of a desk I have so it shows the natural wood, I just need to find the energy to do it:)
Thank you for all your visits to my blog, it always means so much that you take the time to leave such sweet comments:) You're a beautiful soul Dore xoxoxo
I can actually attest to the fact that the food was delicious because, unlike other hosts who I hear never get to eat a bite, there was a staff member by my side of the vow renewal every so often kindly reminding me to eat! We received the best possible service here.
