Cottage Inspiration



My idea of the perfect decor is forever changing.  Wish I could own a home to reflect every single style I love.  An urban loft in the city, a ranch in the country, a cottage near the beach, an arts and crafts in the burbs, a Victorian or Tudor in historic downtown, a Georgian on lush acreage and a farmhouse near the lake, just to name a few.  I have H.I.C. (aka House Identity Crisis)  But for today, I am inspired by my new Cottage Style magazine.  Have you got a copy yet?  Oh, you must!  Here's a sampling.  The photos are all so luscious. (The pink decor is for Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound, check out all the pink loveliness over there.  And of course, the inspiration is my contribution to Friday Inspiration over at the Inspired Room, a beautiful blog!)
On a tech note, can anyone tell me why some of my photos come up as a blank square and why some photos do not show up on other blogs on my screen?  Thinking maybe I did something wrong with one of my settings?  Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm also C.I.C. (aka Computer Intellectually Challenged)
 


My dream beach cottage, pink bike and all.




Likey the globes ...
  

An abundance of roses speaks opulence...
 


Lovely pink inspired bedrooms...

 


My favorite, since I'm so hung up on ottomans.  Look at the crisscross of the tacks.  Sweet...
 
Inspire yourself this week with your favorite home decorating magazines!  It's refreshing!
