The Best of Cottage Living!

by Certified Interior Decorator, Kathleen Steele

It may not seem like Spring is here - but it is! And Summer will be close on its heels. Before you know it, you'll be opening up your summer property for cleaning and dusting and all that good stuff. This year, take along my Top 5 Cottage Redecorating Tips so you can refresh and rejuvenate your summer living place.  

Store It

Think vertical! The higher the better for storage, especially in smaller cottages. Trunks serve double duty. They're great for storage and great as tables. Need some more storage solutions and ideas? Ask about my new "Cottage Pick Me Up" service.


Punch It Up

Use new punches of colour. Be different and daring, make your cottage decor stand out from home. Cottage living is about fun and freedom, and that should be reflected in your decor.


Furniture Update

Cottage

If you need to rescue a guest from the depths of your sofa, maybe it's time for an easy style, easy on the eye replacement (with functioning springs). No high back chairs here. Don't buy new - buy consignment and save yourself 50% - 80% of retail (at It's a Steal Furniture, of course).


Kitchen Catchers

Take a little time to organize your kitchen and store like things together for efficiency. Interior design includes function as well as flair. Organize your space with metal inserts and baskets for easy living.

 

Casual Accessories

Accessories do not have to match. Gone are the days of theme rooms. When it comes to weekend getaways and cottages - casual and relaxed is best.
