I love the Cottage look even some Victorian thrown in, mostly Cottage, I have lots of magazines and I have looked at ideas on line but I can not seem to put it all together.
I need suggestions!
BIG problem..........I in-vision what I want my house to look like but I have trouble getting it to look like I want.
I am on a very tight budget, as most of us are, so it must be done very thrifty.
I have lots of fabric from my years of sewing and I lots of misc stuff to decorate with.
The area I am concentrating on right now is my very large living room..........has neutral colored walls, very light beige, I have a beautiful white mantel and my furniture is mostly cranberry and dark blue.

This is another area in the living room with my settee. My main couch is solid cranberry.
I do know I want my ugly carpet gone....I want hardwood flooring put down.......when I get the money.
I have found and looked at several great Cottage Blogs.........
my question is.........
where do I begin?

ReplyDeleteHave you tried layering in quilts, pretty old books and natural elements such as branches, pine cones, flowers etc.? Those make a good start!
