Have any of you seen this?
I saw this book online and thought, 'how interesting a title' ~
then realized it was from Dottie Angel {someone I want to be when I grow up}.
I love everything about this. the book. the look. the COLOR.
yes I want to crochet, um...everything.
and wear aprons and boots whilst doing so!
how refreshing!
I have been perusing Pinterest for inspiration
and came across these photos of how I would love my old Farmhouse to look {someday}
think: Vintage Farmhouse mixed in with a little bit of Granny Chic!!

no matter where it leads, you'll be happiest ~
Blessings from the Farm

Although I love and prefer the primitive look, you are right that we should embrace whatever style we love and run with it! Have a lovely day♡♡
ReplyDeleteSo pretty....makes me think of going to a beach cottage in Maine or to my Grandmothers house...just warm & cozy ....
ReplyDeleteLOVELY inspiration, I ordered wallpaper last week after vowing to never do wallpaper again, i plan to do a few wall (not all) in a bathroom that is destined to become a French Granny Vintage Oasis- now i am on a vintage bark cloth hunt for a tub curtain XXOO Thanks for more inspiration Lori!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Beautiful! And you are on your way!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this look. in other magazines and books i've seen, this look is sometimes called 'Cottage Chic'. Warm and cozy and comfy!
ReplyDeleteI love your house as it is! Just add a few things here and there...houses are always evolving.
ReplyDeleteYou're an artist, Lori. Change and color and new perspective are what you do! You know what? I remember staying at my grandma's house on the coast, six blocks from the ocean. I still can smell the salt air that blew through the storm windows upstairs as I lay in her big feather tick bed at night. And I can almost smell the rooms in those pictures, too, you know? So warm, so familiar, so welcoming. So family.
ReplyDeleteI think this look should be called "Country Comfy"! Love all the colors!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh YES....love it all
ReplyDeleteIt must be someone living in Northern Europe. Love it the bedroom is stunning. I would be very comfortable there.
ReplyDeleteIts all beautiful. I aspire to have your farmhouse look..it's warm and lively and so cozy to me.
ReplyDeleteLori, you would love my sewing room! Last year I changed the decor from prim to cottage, simply using rosy storage boxes from Michael's, and various pieces of rose-pattern china. One of my favorite pieces is a victorian-style hurricane lamp with roses on the glass shade. It is such a pleasant place in which to sew and create.
ReplyDeleteThose rooms are beautiful, but I'm more into the farmhouse look. I have too much primitive furniture, however, to change. I can't wait to see how your house has evolved into this...I think the primitive look is on it's way out...people want color and cheerfulness now...
ReplyDeleteI waffle between a primitive style and a country cottage style. I've often said that primitive can be dark and dreary but I am drawn to a lighter primitive look. Does that make sense? Not so primitive that I can't sit in the furniture. Or that depresses me. So, I have decided that our little lakefront camp that we share with my sister and her family will be decorated in a cottage style! Then I can have the best of both worlds! Luckily, my sister is okay with that, haha.
ReplyDeleteJan
