Just wishing I had an (old-fashioned English) cottage...
More and more I absolutely love looking at design blogs for inspiration and pretty things. It makes me look forward to a time when I'll have my own place to make home! And with the summer weather I dream that perhaps I can have a cottage... or at least, perhaps fashion my own home with a cozy, cottage feeling. Maybe.
These are a few of my favourite images that I've saved from the blogs Poppytalk and Design Sponge. I hope they have you thinking happy summer thoughts!

I love the crisp white with the bright colours, and with the quaint flowers in the vase - both fun & modern and sweet & vintage.

Oh, the quilt! Nothing says "cottage cozy" like quilts. This reminds me of a 21st century-take on the 19th-century.

I love adding a fabric canopy to outdoor spaces.

This is a little too pink and girly for my taste for my permanent bedroom, but I think this would make an adorable cottage bedroom.

I can't help but think of Jane Austen sitting down to write, like in "Becoming Jane" or "Miss Austen Regrets."

How divine, out there by the water! And the canopy...

I love the 19th-century feel of the blue china plates, and how they are used as wall artwork. It's also a punch of colour without being too dramatic or modern.

I just love the 19th-century feel to this bathroom! I think it's the artwork, but I also love the crisp white walls.

Oh, I think this staircase is to die for. Especially in the white, it looks like lace. I wish I could have this in my home or cottage (although I don't do well with spiral staircases, especially see-through ones, so it's probably for the best).
