French toile and lace

Salutations! Fall has definitely found its way to the East Coast and it’s feelin’ fine. The air is crisp and cool, the sun is shining, and the bright colors of autumn are covering the trees. It’s like a warm blanket of sunshine on the nearby trail. Ahh… can you tell I really like fall? As much as I hate to be working indoors when all these lovely things are happening outside, I have been slowly chipping away at the family […]

here we go… white paint!

Hola Cottage Fix friends! So I’ve been happily trucking along with my decorating endeavors, and also thinking a lot about white paint. If you’ve been following along then you know I recently painted our sun porch a soft white and filled it with white wicker and an heirloom bench. I’m totally diggin’ the fresh feel of that room and I guess I’m sort of stuck on bringing more of that feel into the rest of our cottage. You know when […]

my love of a white painted cottage

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 […]

cottage fix meets Paris on the sun porch

Hello cottage fix crew! My summer projects are happily shuffling along. I finally finished painting the sun porch white, well it’s more of a grayish white, I think. I like to think of it as a Parisian white, is that a shade? Anyway, I thought I’d go ahead and let you lovely ladies in on the little white sun porch with the little white painted bricks even though I’m not quite finished with the accessories and finishing touches. If we […]

adding texture with gathered pillow shams

We’ve been really busy lately with kids and our puppy and life and such. And of course I’ve got a million and one projects up my sleeve, some of which I’ve started and some are on the back burner. I did finish painting the sun porch and will be sharing her white painted bricks with you soon. Mr. Macho is building a fire wood holder and indeed, his inner burly mountaineer has been unleashed — I think I even heard him […]

my heirloom trunk gets a shabby cottage makeover

My heirloom trunk has a new shabby cottage look and is feeling right at home in our living room. A couple of coats of soft white paint and 10 minutes with the sander — voilà, this vintage cutie has a shabby cottage look. I think she likes it!

warm whites, camellias from the garden, and a vintage crochet throw

I’m lightening things up for Spring with warm whites, red camellias from the garden, and a vintage crochet throw. The sofa is wearing all neutrals with white and taupe pillows and an ivory crochet throw, apparently she needed a little break from blue. I’ve been noticing more all white rooms on Pinterest and I want in!

cottage living room painted ivory

That’s right… the living room is finally completely painted! Whoo Hooo!! This one was a doozy. As much as I love our tall ceilings, about halfway through this paint job I found myself telling those ceilings where they could go! You get the gist. Yes, this is one of those rare occasions I am actually glad I don’t have a large great room with cathedral ceilings. Can anyone say “painter?” So now I can’t turn my head all the way […]
