Salutations! We’re head over heels for spring here at Cottage Fix. As our garden begins to come back to life I can’t help but bring in a few bouquets to add a touch of cottage romance. Our azaleas are in full bloom and I’m enjoying this week of beautiful spring weather, dining with the flowers, and just being outside with the grass and the birds. This past weekend, honey and I joined a few friends and we all road our bikes […]

Hola Cottage Fix friends! I’m blogging in today with the sticky sweet smell of wisteria filling the air indoors and out in the back garden too. Something about the potent smell of wisteria calls for the hope of good days ahead, don’t ya think. Days spent lounging by the sea, hiking through the cool morning air, and dining under the stars. After dinner bike rides with the wind breezing by and no route in mind. Days that come and go […]

Salutations Cottage Fix friends! I’m so ready for Spring! This past week I’ve been finding Spring inspiration right here in the day to day ins and outs of my silly little family living in this silly little cottage. The warmer weather moving in has certainly helped too. As well as the daffodils that are popping up through the winter soaked soil. Oh yes, the promise of Spring is on the horizon and our shabby little cottage is coming to life. […]

Hola! Let me just say Ahh. We’re coming off one of the most wonderful weekends here on the East Coast, I’m still finding myself a little in lala land. Our neighborhood is buzzing with children and dog walkers and everyone seems to be in good spirits with the return of the sun. Farmer Brown and I spent the weekend tooling around in the garden. This is almost as good for me as retail therapy, which we also managed to fit […]

What is happening? This is not the kind of winter we’re used to around here, it’s a real winter wonderland out there. Well, Cottage Fix friends I’ve decided to stop all of my whining and complaining and happily succumb to winter’s embrace. Yes, we’re friends now. The cottage is all cozied up with candlelight, warm blankets, and hot tea. Now this is how to enjoy winter. It’s quiet and still outside, really so peaceful. Outside the garden is covered in […]

Happy Friday guys! I’m blogging in today with a sweet little French inspired vintage mirror. I’m not entirely sure of it’s history, but to me it looks a little French/Paris apartment like. Of course a super chic mirror must feel right at home in this shabby filled cottage with a lady who spends her mornings blogging in pajamas. That’s chic, right? It’s certainly a mixed bag around here. While cottage and everything cottage will always be my first and number […]

Hola Cottage Fix friends. I brought home these beautiful blooms from the market today to brighten up this shabby little cottage. I’ve been tidying up from the contractors, actually more like hardcore deep cleaning from two weeks of workboots and drywall dust schlepping up and down our stairwell. It’s exhausting. Quickshine works wonders on beaten up shabby old hardwoods. So to reward myself, pink and purple blooms always do the trick. A lady needs flowers in her life don’t you […]

Happy Weekend! The cold is here on the coast of Virginia. We’re talking “get out the wool socks and light the fire people” — brrr it’s chilly. Still, the sun is shining and the air is crisp and clear, so it’s not all that bad. You’d never even know it’s freezing outside from indoors, which is where I am and plan to stay. It looks glorious looking out through the windows. So let us start with the elephant in the room […]
