IS IT COTTAGE OR FARMHOUSE

When I look at my decor I often ask myself whether it is cottage or farmhouse style.

I guess it is a bit of both so maybe I should say eclectic.

I have always dreamed of living in an English cottage, so my goals in decorating my apartment have been to have an English cottage feel in an urban Atlanta apartment.

That isn't necessarily easy, because when I look out my windows I see a car park for the next door apartments along with trees and a lot of ivy.

I love lots of prints on the walls, cozy throws, pillows, houseplants, old books, and chintz, but I also love rustic touches.

When I see photos of actual English cottages I notice that they have all of those things.

I want my space to be comfortable and cozy, and I guess that describes a cottage or a farmhouse. They are both "lived in" spaces.

To me they are spaces that just say "I am home" when you walk in the door, and that is definitely how I feel about my little home.
