We want to extend huge thanks to our friend Jen for these gorgeous photos! She recently purchased from us our popular Bella French Farmhouse Dining Table and a set of these gorgeous Bella Chateau Isabelle French Carved Dining Chairs. When we received these images in our inbox this week, we were absolutely stunned! Coming from the ladies of The Bella Cottage, we’d like to tell Jen how FABULOUS her dining room looks and that we LOVE it!
Elegance and style isn’t far when you decorate with gorgeous Italian Florentine items. These lovely trinkets and accessories liven up any space and add glitter to your decor. Looking through what we offer under our Bella Finds section, I saw that one could really make a gorgeous bathroom with the right items!
Looking at the above collage, I paired gorgeous reproduction wall sconces with a one of a kind antique commode from Europe. (The commode could be altered to hold a sink.) The right sink vanity can really transform a bathroom especially when you’re going for a certain look. The golds and greys in its design pulled together the European elegance in the accessories.
We also carry this gorgeous vintage mirror with a gorgeous sculpted top. The frame is wood and chippy in parts which really adds to the vintage quality. Complete the look with a few Italian Florentine accessories (such as a gold hand-mirror and tissue box) and voila! You’re there!
The gold hand-towel stand isn’t Italian, but it was a charming Bella Find item that went well with the decor.
Item List:
6990 – Vintage Oval Mirror with Rose Swag Details in Gold
Antique Commode from Europe in Gustavian Grey
BF1395 – Vintage Florentine Italian Tole Gold and Blue Hand Mirror
Italian Florentine 2-Arm Wall Sconce in Gold
BF1472 – Shabby French Iron Gold Towel Holder with Handtowels
BF1508 – Vintage Florentine Italian Sqaure Tissue Box in Gold
I’m happy to introduce to you, dear Bella Living readers, the newest products to our webpage, Pom Pom at Home’s Audrey Collection! The first time we saw this, we were so charmed that it took our breath away. Pom Pom has done it again!
Above is a photograph taken from the Country Living magazine in March 2010. It features the Audrey tablecloth and ALL of its stunning ruffles! It is a sqaure table cloth, but it looks simply charming on round tables, as you can see below. Purchase the Audrey ruffle tablecloth here.
The table cloth, when displayed in this manner, just feels so frilly and feminine! The set-up with the pink roses and the ruffles just takes me back to the Victorian era.
Besides the stunning tablecloth, Pom Pom also offers matching accessories for you and your home. Below is a lovely tote-bag with the ruffles on the bottom half. Purchase the Audrey Ruffle Tote Bag here.
This style is also available as a Laundry Bag!
And last but not least, you can add charm to the bedroom with this ruffled boudoir pillow. All of the Audrey items come in white (despite the differences in the photographs) and they are all made of 100% cotton. Comfortable and charming for any shabby chic style home!
We received a pleasant email from one of our sweetest customers, Cindy from Canada! And boy, were we pleasantly surprised to see such gorgeous photographs of her home! Cindy has a gorgeous collection of beautiful antique china, dolls and furniture and she arranges it all in a way that is very inviting and charming!
The picture above is a cabinet we once sold to Cindy a year ago. It was a One of a Kind piece and features double glass doors and glass shelves inside. It’s so exciting to see our furniture in a happy home! Now, it holds pretty vintage china & treasures.
Great job, Cindy! Your presentation is beautiful and we thank you for allowing us to share these gorgeous photos with our readers!

This gorgeous collection of images comes from Denise in CA.
We were so blown away with her talent for decorating her home that we just had to share it with our readers! It’s so exciting to see a few One of a Kind Bella Cottage pieces in her decor, too. We’re so happy these stunning items have found a beautiful home with her!
Denise’s kitchen is to die for! Her beautiful blend of the white cabinets and furniture against the dark wood floors and black stone counter-tops is so beautiful. A great contrast! I especially love the lights inside her kitchen cabinets to help really open up the space.
I can’t stop staring at the wallpaper! It’s so soft and beautifully patterned!
I squealed with delight when I saw this image! See that darling recessed shelf in the middle of the image? That brooke bench just below it is from our shop! Denise did an amazing job to display this piece. And I mean WOW.
It was a stunning, one of a kind item and Denise was lucky to find it first! We have another stunning style at our online store.
This room made my jaw drop. How scrumptious is that pink for the walls?
A gorgeous tree in a gorgeous room. I recognize the chair in the right corner! I absolutely love how well the Pink Barkcloth Fabric goes with her decor!
I could stare all day at this bathroom vanity. It’s so gorgeous and grand at the same time!
And a matching vanity! And isn’t that tuffet chair & slipper chair just perfect?
What a cute bedroom! The soft green walls make the pink bedding just pop! And how charming is the wall plaque above her bed?
Thank you for sharing these amazing pictures with us, Denise! You’ve given inspiration to us and to our readers as well!
