It’s Going To Be A Long Winter

Since I have a little OCD going on sometimes it is hard for me to get up and get moving on a project. Problem being it has to be well…just so, to say it mildly. Color has to be right, the shapes have to be right, the positioning of things have to be right, the angle of furniture has to be right and so on and so forth and so on. And boy does it ever go on. I looked for a solid year for the perfect couch, what an experience that was. Mr Cottage Dreams is absolutely ecstatic that it is here. Now he’s not allowed to sit on it, that’s another story. The couch is white and his job requires he get all black and dirty. OK ladies enough said! No sitting on the couch dear! Our new couch is almost exact to the above picture except it has a skirt. I love it he hates it! It’s a woman’s world sorry guys! Anyways back to the picture I of course LOVE the couch but even more I really get a lot of inspiration from the picture on the wall….thinking maybe the old windows taking up room in our garage!

I am currently working on a project right now very close to the one above. My container is a heart shape and causing me some distress. It will be fine I just need to remember to breathe when it falls left or right continuously. I’m still searching for the right picture holder thingy. I did a fall arrangement. Guess you could do all seasons or holidays with a little changing of the foliage. It’s going to be a long winter!

Several of these in a bathroom would make beautiful towel racks. I love it.

I really hope I’m not stepping on any toes but if I have your picture here that means I just adore it! And thanks so much for the inspiration that comes from your beautiful photos. Just leave me a comment and I will be happy to link back to your blog! This is a magnetic photo board made from 2 sheets of sheet metal. I  was reading that it can be found at your local Home Depot…awesome! This is a great idea and I do really love it! Hope your week is going well and hope all your cottage dreams are coming true!

Just Dreaming

I have so dreamed of including this beautiful piece of furniture in my back entrance to my home. If it takes me a year it will be there, I just love it! I may decorate just a little different using baskets, but pretty much I would like to build one very similar! Ah!

Inspiration! Many ideas in this photo! Love that slip covered chair. I really love that table as well. Beautiful. Peaceful.

I think I included this photo in another post. Well here it is again….what does this tell you? I love, love, love it! Cozy and comfy.

I’m working on it. I can do it. Oh my! Love those pictures and that beautiful shelf. Colors are perfect together. Soothing.

Actually we just finished painting a beautiful cedar blanket chest with this beautiful color. It really just pops in the room. Makes a statement as soon as you walk into the room.

Just want to sit right down and stay for a while…How about you?

It’s back…Ah! Phooey! It’s following me…eek!

The sofa and pillows are simply it!

 

The inset is just lovely and oh so cozy!

Lesson to me…more shelves. Apparently I am shelf poor. I redid my pantry several weeks ago and hey…something is missing. Looks almost like mine except, I have 400 more cooking pans and bowls and appliances, Hey we love to cook. Maybe I should just ring up Mr.Cottage Dreams and say honey, more shelves please. I’m his favorite you know!

OK so we are going nautical in our all season porch. I was just wondering where do I purchase this lovely little creature or make that creatures. I will take the rug and the sconces and the flag picture. Cha ching!

I give up!

 

Lovely little pillows…I can do that to. Dear lord can I have another 50 years please?

Have the bench…don’t have the time…will make it!

I just adore making our house a home. I just love it when someone comes to our home and say’s you should be in a magazine. Your house is beautiful. Praise the lord for the knowledge and strength. I am so very blessed. Hope you found some ideas. There are so many you just have to find the things you love the most. Mix some old and some new. That’s cottage decorating. Have a great week and God bless!
