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.

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!
