The cottage style melds elements that are both humble and high-class, yielding a look that is warm and romantic.
Character of a farmhouse, wood beam architecture, chairs with rush seats speak to the vintage roots of this style.
Spaces such as these should have the look and feel of a room that has evolved over many years. Pieces have been re-worked and used in various ways in different rooms of the home.
As I am growing older, I am embracing this look more and more . . . I could sleep in here, could you?

OH! This is so my cup of tea. Now as for my husband, well he might have a thing or two to say. But someday - I might be able to get close! Gorgeous rooms!!! WHere did you find them?
ReplyDeleteNo way! Not only do you post a lovely easy-to-live-in cottage with light blue walls/ceilings (or is this a trick?), but you can be a friend to someone who colors their home blue (walls) and cabinets green?! OK, Vicky, now you're scaring me. ha. Nah. Just kidding. take care, -s
ReplyDeleteI agree, the bedroom is so inviting. Thank you for sharing these lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteCharla

* Um, yeah, wellllll, Vicky-girl, I never MADE it to the bedroom~~~ I'm HAPPILY "stuck" in that WONDERFUL, LIGHT, SERENE & MOST WELCOMING living room space... it's sooooo devine it's almost ETHEREAL!!!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, once again, for the most DELICIOUS DELIGHTS to the eye!
Hugs,
Linda *
The older I get, the "granny-like" I become! Great photos & inspiration! ♥ Diane
ReplyDeleteWhen can i move in!?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be the voice of discontent, so to speak. I would need a step stool to to climb into that bed. It's not easy being short. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Linda, I hope you are feeling better. Thanks for coming by. Brenda has been giving me a hard time lately...I needed a friend. lol
ReplyDeleteNaz, What you have to do in run and then jump. It's easy once you get the hang of it. lol
ReplyDeleteThis is cottage done right for sure. I've noticed that most of your photos have white woodwork (so popular nowadays) but would love to see an example of homes that have kept dark stained window/door frames and done it well!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely!
ReplyDelete* Thanks, Vicky & g' morning! I A*M doing "better", tho still not quite ready to run a marathon yet(or even walk across the street, for that matter!!!)... (And ohhhhh, that Brennnnnda... she is SOOOO "somethin' else!" isn't she? Smiles n' "Hi, Brenda"!)~~~
ReplyDeleteI miss NAZ, too! ~~~ Note: have always WANTED to B*E a "short lil' thing", but even at almost 5'7", I sort of have to make a run & jump to get up on OUR bed, too... LOVE a high bed!!!
HAPPY DAYS!
Big hugs,
Linda *
Joan K, I am on it. thanks for the request.
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice blog and I enjoy coming to visit.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
I think 'me' eyes are failing me (maybe too much time on the Computer ????), as I didn't even notice the height of the bed til a few mentioned it. (Hellll...lo Linda and Naz.)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed these lovely pictures. Thank you Miss Vicky for sharing them. Hugs
-Brenda-
Waving hi to Linda and Brenda! Another problem with being short is actually being eye level with all those dust bunnies under the bed.
ReplyDeleteVicki, I love all of these rooms. Everyone of them speak to my heart.
ReplyDeleteAbout my garage. I have a mural inside by the entry to the mudroom/laundry. Most people come in though the backdoor. So, I wanted to make it more welcoming. Backdoor guest are best, right!
* NAZ-girlfriend, soooo good to "see" you again!!! I've MISSED you!!! XOXOXO, Linda *
ReplyDeleteI love each and every picture, they all exude tranquility. Nicole
