Cottage chic

Summer is here and I am loving every minute of it. Hanging out with the family at my parent's pool ("The Oasis"), barbecues, dinner on patios, the smell of fresh flowers, the sounds of birds chirping...it is definitively cottage season. Sadly there is no longer one in my family (my younger sister had one for a few years and recently sold it), but I continue to dream of owning a cottage one day so I can enjoy the outdoors and OMG another home to decorate!! It seems you can get away with so much more at a cottage. LOL Anyway, Style At Home magazine has a wonderful collection of cottage features so I thought I would share an assortment of my favourite spaces.
