Salutations! It’s not everyday that I have an excuse to splurge on a bouquet like this, but last weekend this beautiful assortment of fresh market flowers fell into my shopping cart and followed me home! What could I do but take a few photos? Umm…there’s a slight chance I even went a little picture taking crazy! Pink roses on the patio. Tiny daisies in the guest room. To display flowers in a straw bag just add a small jar of […]

Design rules that is, let’s not get too crazy! I’m shaking things up left and right here today at Cottage Fix. Oh joy! Who says that a chair is just for sitting? Not me! So when Modani Modern Furniture posted 5 Design Rules to Break, my first thought was “huh, I wonder what rules I’m breakin’ around here.” I then began to look around our little cottage, with its old wooden floors, shabby furniture, wicker, and lace, for rules that I regularly […]

Salutations! It’s nonstop rain here today on the East Coast, which I don’t mind. I like the odd rainy day as long as it’s sandwiched between several days of sunshine. I’m not sure why we correlate rain with romance, but it’s lovely. Doesn’t a cup of morning coffee seem to taste extra delightful when it’s raining out? Aah, a hot cup and a cozy knit throw on a soaker of a morning is pure bliss. Paisley on the other hand […]

Hello there! Thanks for popping over today to share in my latest obsession, my love of a white painted cottage. Give me light, bright and airy! Give me white! It’s not really a new obsession I suppose, but it’s one I try to put out of my mind for the fear I might actually take things to the next step and get out the paint brush. Ever since I painted the sun porch white, I’ve been completely over the moon […]

Salutations fine friends of blogland! What a crazy weekend we’ve had here in the little cottage we call home. Where life either goes full speed ahead or seems to tick by so slowly that you could watch the leaves change right before your eyes. This weekend we’ve had a bit of both. It was Honeys birthday on Saturday and we’ve had a lot going on with a pizza party and honey out in the yard all day. He spent his […]

Hello there! We have been enjoying some lovely mild and sunny weather here near the east coast which is so nice after the hard rain we had last week. The sweet fall air is slowly blowing in and I’m diggin’ it. Yes, I’ll take a week or two of crisp sunny days, oh say around 75 degrees or so, with a light northern breeze. Pretty please Al Roker! Grin! I tend to drag a bit when it comes to changing […]

I’m sure you’ve been losing sleep wondering where those bright blue accessories from the sun porch have disappeared to — I know I have. Painting the sun porch white has created sort of a ricochet effect throughout our little cottage and everything is all mixed up and turned around! It happens! Well, there they are. I decided to use the wicker chairs in the dining room all dolled up with the bright blue floral pillows. I mixed in a couple […]

A couple of weeks ago I heard a crash come from our living room, which isn’t necessarily an unfamiliar sound in our house. Things break and I sweep them up and move on without making to big of a fuss. Well, I turned the corner into the living room to ask “What broke?” and saw the lid to my treasured blue and white tureen in pieces. It looked ever so sad scattered about the hardwood floor. I won’t go pointing […]
