Sarah Richardson’s Cottage
Can you believe it’s June already? For me, June as well as July are the very best months of summer. the most lovely flowers are in bloom, school’s out, as well as the summertime cottage season can truly get into full swing!
Cottages aren’t typically the area to spend great deals of money on decorating, nor ought to they be! It’s all about the household hand-me-down: a sofa that’s used to a threadbare as well as so-soft finish, ideal for napping; an old quilt that has the necessary cottage scent; sunlight dancing on the windowpane as well as sparkling water visible beyond…
So, don’t spend as well much money on your cottage, just delight in the pieces you have as well as the stories connected to each. Layer in some quilts. sprinkle on some cottage-colour paint as well as relax. You’ve got much better things to do, like roast marshmallows.
Here are some wonderful summertime cottage spaces by Sarah Richardson for inspiration.
Don’t you just like a great ‘curl-up-and-read’ nook? This painted sleigh bed just tucks best into this corner as well as hems you in with cosy. I want that quilt — bad.
Red + white + a bit blue? Scrumptious! This feels like a sea captain’s bed as well as I’m truly feeling those whitewashed walls. Why not try this at your cottage? (Get much more red, white as well as blue concepts in our July 2010 issue.)
I am currently hunting high as well as low for a handsome breast of drawers like this. has anybody seen one? Sarah? assist me out! Oh, as well as the painted floors in a broad stripe are charming, charming, charming.
Yes, I’ll take a scone with my morning tea as well as then possibly stroll with that open door down to the dock as well as soak my feet. perk points for the birch log-cum-table lamp. as well as isn’t the Sophie Conran teapot produced this room?
Happy cottaging everyone!
