A Colourful Cottage and a Restored, New England Inn


Today is a public holiday in New Zealand, Queens Birthday weekend and my lucky friends are still away at their beach houses, we have remained home as we are lucky enough to be able to walk to the beach so I guess you could say, our "beach house is our home"☺. We have made the most of the sunny weather Saturday and Sunday with lots of Poppy walks. However, today is cloudy, cold and drizzly and driven me into my woolly socks, lots of layers and warm office looking for inspiration, which I found in two pretty cottages.

I spotted both these cottages at Wayfair, unfortunately there are only a few images, however I thought them both perfect cottage interiors and I know a lot of my readers love the cottage look.


This second home is a restored New England inn...

I hope you had a lovely weekend, wherever you are in the world. It is now officially winter here in New Zealand and the weather is certainly indicating so today....brrrr!

    1. Thank you, I agree the cottages are definitely of yesteryear style. It is a lot warmer in NZ today and thank you for the kind words about my artwork.

  2. It's so weird to think of you starting winter now, just as it is getting warm here. Well, the cottage style maybe makes it feel summery all year, I hope? Beautoful images!

    1. Thank you Stacy, yes weird when you are beginning your summer, I could do with some of your warmth, although today has been fabulously sunny and not so cold. I have managed to get rid of some of the layers of clothing I had and have bought a small heater for my office so nice and snug now. Cottage style interiors will never go out of fashion, there is always a home somewhere that suits this style and I like to incorporate a little into my own home.
