Cherubs

We love cherubs for a shabby chic style. Our love of cherubs came at an early age. I (Ximena) remember going into my sister's bedroom as a child and seeing a big poster with two angels. I wasn't very interested at the time but now I love them! and I thank my sister for surrounding me with beautiful things from an early age. Here are some of our favorite cherubs from around each of our homes.....

Ana's Cherubs.....

This cherub is on a white armoire in my living room. It is my all time favorite one. I bought at at Big Lots where I work for $4. I love the expression on its face and eventhough I can't tell what it is I like to think he is holding a bible in his arms. Isn't it gorgeous?

This pair of instrument playing cherubs was originally meant to be sold on eBay by my sister Ximena, however I loved it so much that I bid on it myself! Now they sit on a simply shabby chic table in my dining room. I am fascinated by cherubs playing music because music is so dear to my family's heart. I have two sons, Xavier and Denis who play instruments as well.

This was found at Goodwill for $1. It was originally silver so I painted it white. It is beaitiful not only for decoration but also useful for holding delicious treats on top. It is Ximena's favorite cherub from Ana's stuff.

This soap dish was bought by me at Marshall's for $4. I love to find beauty in simple things. Some of our most cherished items were found at local thrift stores or clearance bins.

This cherub was bought at Goodwill for $1.99 Eventhough it is hard to tell it is made of plastic. I think it was once a wedding centerpiece.

This is from a set of two identical mirrors. They are surrounding a toile tapestry from France (I'll post pictures later) in my living room. They were $7.99 at Goodwill.
