4 tips in creating that perfect Cottage Chic Style in your home: 

1. Embrace your pine paneled walls, just add a whitewash to them for that instant fresh feel!! And paint those floors for that wow factor!!

"One of the most charming aspects of cottage living is its natural, simplistic and bare-boned style. Rather than cover the small guesthouse walls in artwork" designer Sarah Richardson

2. Fall in Love with WHITES!!

3. Distressed Furniture! "One of the key elements to cottage-style decor is distressed and weathered furnishings. Although scouring flea markets, yard sales, thrift stores, estate sales and auctions to find a stunning piece of furniture for an amazing price may be exciting, don't look over a piece you may already have right in front of you."

4. Cozy it up! "As soon as you walk into a cottage-style home, you should feel right at home. The neutral color palette and natural materials should instantly rejuvenate your senses. The space should look and feel comfortable, easy and livable."

 

Stay cool this summer season!!

Until next time,

w&c designer girl!
