{ Creating Cottage style }

Do you walk into some people's homes and wonder why it feels so cozy? You dream about your house having the same feeling?
Well, loosen' up sister. I'm gonna give you some tips and tricks so you can have the same feel in your own home.

#1 Add natural elements. Keep it real. not everything has to come from a store. Talk a walk. Pick up some pine cones or a batch of leaves. You'd be surprise at what they'll add to your coffee table.

#2 Embrace imperfections. You house is never going to look perfect. Roll with it.

#3 Keep it Cozy. I love to keep extra pillows and blankets around. Especially with a house full of kids. They're always snuggling up somewhere.

#4 Mix Patterns and textures. If you like it, use it. Forget matchy matchy.

#5 Layer. This is a little tougher. But, play with it. Add some items, then take some away. ask a friend. You'll get it.

There you have it. By now you should have a cozy, comfy, layer room somewhere in your home. Enjoy it.
