A few months back when it was freezing cold
I was thinking Spring and Summer.
Which honestly isn’t all that unusual.
But not only was I thinking about Spring and Summer
I was decorating for Spring and Summer

I thought about blooming flowers, open windows with breezes blowing in
and lots of warm sunshine.
I bought flowers in Summer hues (really not so easy to do in Winter)
and I re-styled rooms to be dressed pretty,
light and airy with warm weather colors
Summer inspired changes

I am excited to share a couple of the photos of our guest cottage that I styled and photographed for the magazine Maison Romantique in France and was just published in a recent issue.
These are a couple of the preview pdf’s that the publisher sent over -there is much more in the magazine
but I won’t get the copies of the magazines for a bit yet.
In it’s every day view
our little cottage is a bit more rustic with it’s planked wood walls and ceilings,
burlap drapes and chipped painted floor

So bringing in more romantic designs and changing things around a bit was fun.
Of course since these were taken about 6 months ago..
the cottage has changed again

The cottage has been getting a bit of love lately and will also be making an appearance in
magazines in Italy and Germany as well~ it’s such an honor to be included in each of them.

When I started blogging, I had no idea it would lead to my home and style being published
or to working as a stylist and photographer with magazines. It is amazing how one thing leads to another
I want to say a huge thanks to the editors of Maison Romantique for this opportunity
for encouraging me to do this.
I will share more out take close ups of the rooms in separate posts..
