~Inspired by an English Cottage~

This is a great example of early 1900’s English Cottage style architecture. Starting with the graceful peak at the top and moving down to the romantic balcony and then the step-down patio leading you in to the lush garden.

The colors in this room are so incredible! From the earthy wall color to the soothing blues, grays and brown tones of the furniture, beams, drapery and floors. This really is one of the most romantic and elegant bedrooms I have ever seen…

This bathroom is so pretty and feminine. The curves of the vintage tub are so beautiful. You can tell that this room and all of the furnishings were really well thought out.

(left) This is the sweetest cottage. It looks like it is right out of a story book. (right) I love this cottage kitchen. The vaulted beamed ceilings and such an expansive feeling to this already open space and the chandelier adds an elegant touch. I also love the contrast between the white walls and distressed cabinets, which blend beautifully with the wood beams, floors and butcher block top.

The aged brick, which was laid in a herringbone pattern, is such a great look for a courtyard or patio. Adding the whimsical arbor which is draped with pretty wisteria and the iron chairs and table, make this the perfect outdoor dining room…
