Ximena's Cherubs

These are the cherubs around my room. I still live with my parent's so I can't make the whole house as Shabby Chic as I'd like :) so here are the ones in my room....

This is my favorite cherub. I bought it at Ross for $7. It was originally an ugly gold color so of course I had to paint it white. It was one of the first items I painted along with my candelabra so it didn't come out as well as I could do it now but maybe for that reason I love it more than others.

This is the entrace to my bedroom where I have hung two plaques with cherubs on them. The tallest one was from Goodwill and it cost $5. It is super heavy and I didn't make any changes to it. The second smaller one was from Goodwill as well. It was originally gold. I like to make changes constantly to my room so every few weeks the layout of this wall changes.

These 4 cherubs was a gift from my mom. She bought them at a flea market and begged me not to paint them white, LOL, she think I paint everything white! I went along with it and I don't regreat it. I think they look greeat in gold. I don't have a place to display them properly, so they move around a lot.

This is my seconf favorite cherub. It was bought at Ross a few days after I got the other one. Just like my favorite it was painted gold. It is now op topof this beautiful mantle mirror that I bought on eBay for $199

This case was purchased at Michael's I don't remember the exact price but I know it was on sale. I bought another one in green for my mom's room. I keep post it notes, tags, and small paper goods that I think are pretty. Some of my favorites were bought at Etsy (see below)

These two cards were handmade by some very talented person on Etsy. I bought 8 of each and although I thought they would be a bit bigger (why didn't I read the measurements? :) I completely love them. They are so detailed and pretty.
