Cottage Style

Happy Monday!  The to-do list this week is packed with client projects, personal projects (moving in 21 days), Christmas shopping.  

Lions and Tigers and Bears ... Oh My!  

I am feeling a little like Dorothy ... but I am still spinning in the tornado.  

Looking forward to a safe landing on December 30th!

As I am certain many of you will understand I have been decorating our "new" home in my head for a month now.  I have walked through every room in my head when I should be sleeping.   Over and Over.  It is exhausting. 

I pinned this little cottage over a year ago.

This image spoke to me  ... how welcoming and warm ... and I just tucked it away on my Home Board.

Well as I have been scouring images on line and in magazines for small space inspiration ... I found the INSIDE of this home!

I would like to say that we will be moving into an "old" home that has some of this character.  Seems we keep ending up with a home built in the 60's.

Nothing wrong with the 1960's by the way, 

They just don't have the patina.

I like old things.  

Notice the pop of red?  Still considering that pop for our kitchen.  

Not sure I can pull the trigger though.

Definitely working with a smaller space.

And this under the stair thing.  I definitely have a place in mind!!

With good fortune, it won't be housing some major support beam that cannot be touched.

I hate obstacles.

Antiques and Painted Floors. 

The Mirror Gallery Wall is perfect in this tiny space!

All Images

We will be inheriting a dormer wall just like this in our master bedroom.  Not certain how I am going to address that quite yet.  

But we are moving from a King to a Queen Bed.  How do you feel about that?

Yeah, I'm not sure either.

Gettin' after it  ...

Making the World More Beautiful.  One Room at a Time.

Small Spaces

Can we just chat about this room?  If I ever had the need (or want) to live in a tiny space ... This makes me feel like I could do it ... maybe a small "wall" of kitchen appliances and a small table that just continued on into this sitting room and bedroom.  A little feminine, yes, I'm just saying!  I could be happy here ... really happy here!!

I got this off the web ... somewhere!!  I can see a date and page ... but don't know what magazine??

The linens, the wallpaper, the mirror, the glass screen, the "plexi-glass" table, the chandelier, the headboard, the striped velvet sofa, the pouf ... shall I go on?  And here is the thing I love most ... it is small ...  but not minimal!

Could you "go small"?
