Designing the Elegant Cottage

January 29, 2024 · In: Interior Design

Is it just me, or does this time of the year make you long for a warm, cozy retreat too? There’s something about the crisp air and shorter days that has me daydreaming about a charming cottage nestled amidst a picturesque garden. It’s like the epitome of perfection, isn’t it?

I’ve always had this knack for envisioning myself in various styles of homes. I can practically feel the ambiance, breathe in the scents, and soak in the aesthetics. That’s the beauty of interior design – the power to craft different spaces in your mind, each with its unique personality.

Much like how I experiment with fashion, mixing and matching styles to create a unique look, I apply the same principle to design. Take, for instance, pairing a classic Ralph Lauren plaid blazer with edgy faux leather pants. It’s all about that perfect juxtaposition.

Now, if I were to conjure up a cottage-style haven, here’s how I would do it: I’d seamlessly blend elegant elements with those boasting organic textures. Picture it – a dining room that exudes elegance, tranquility, and a touch of modern flair. That’s the magic recipe for a cottage-inspired design that feels just right.

If you’re as smitten with the cottage aesthetic as I am, you’re in for a treat! Head over to my LTK (LikeToKnowIt) for a closer look at more charming cottage designs and, of course, the opportunity to shop these delightful creations. Your cozy, dreamy escape awaits!

Guys!! I’m so happy right now I’m about to cry! The cuteness factor is off the charts!! I’m so excited to see our vision for our fall porch come together complete with pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!! 

And can we talk about Louis in his adorable fall sweater?! And the wreaths (they are faux!!!) and the lanterns and the flickering pumpkins?!!! 

If you could die from cuteness overload I’d be a goner! Hahaha but thankfully it looks like I’ll be holding on for a few more days and greeting our kids as they come home for fall here and it won’t be long and this will be getting a little Halloween overlay for trick or treaters! 

To me, these are the greatest moments of life. Creating a home that says “welcome home!” I hope in our own little way we can inspire you as well! As always, sending so much love from our home to yours! XxV
