~how to add cottage character to your home~

Adding cottage character to your home is quite simple.
Here are a few ideas for you!
1~Add slip covered furniture. You can buy them already made or make your own out of affordable canvas fabric. 2~Add wainscoting. Paint it any soothing color.
It wraps a room in tons of charm. 3~Style a lampshade. Add buttons, vintage silk flowers,
floral fabric, or custom finials for instant cottage appeal!
4~Hardwood floors. Refinish old ones or add new. You can even buy faux hardwood floors made to look old called "hand scraped"

5~Add vintage glass or porcelain knobs to new
furniture for an instant cottage update!

6~Claw foot bathtubs. You can find these relatively inexpensive in need of a paint job, or refinished for you! They are heavy, gorgeous, and functional!



7~Chandeliers add instant romance to any room, not just the bedroom. Tuck a small one in a closet, or bathroom, even a kitchen, and you will have gorgeous light!


8~Beaded board. One of my favorites!
Love it in cream or white. Here it is stunning in black.

9~Baskets, old or new add instant cottage character. Use them to hold books, kindling, even toilet paper in the loo!


Well friends, that's all for now, off to try and make my house look pretty for the boutique on Friday! Hope you all are having a wonderful day!
xoxo
