COTTAGE CORE BLUE and MOSS GREEN

Welcome back to Estelle's my kindred spirits...
today the sun is shining down and
I find this warmth to be such a marvelous thing.....

My desire has returned to begin my spring transformation
in decorating our home and what came to mind,
was a country cottage core vibe of soft blues,
with a touch of muted green.....yes, that is what I am going with...

I love decorating in lighter colors for spring and  Easter
and I know you will probably ask, what is the inspiration
you draw from for a "country" cottage core vibe?

Well, I draw my design from the things I love....
it's a romantic version of rural life....
flowy dresses, ginghams and floral patterns...
vintage botanical prints, gardening and picnics.....



And, as always, I first choose the color story....
And, the surprise that bonus that comes with these colors
is that I can change the look to the table by changing
the primary color feature....



Creating a special look at your dining table, can make your meal
an "experience" and not so much like an ordinary dinner....



Use some of your favorite things and remember the details....
a centerpiece is not always about a floral arrangement....
little things mean a lot, don't they?

  1. Love that you can use things that you love and change everything up a bit. I am doing the same thing but I am waiting for my son to come get some furniture for his new home. It is too heavy looking for the home we are in now. Mid-March is the magic word there.
    Everything looks like Spring to me, Betsy! I love blue, too, and wish I had kept my blue willow dishes but....I have 4 or 5 complete sets of dishes that I rotate already. lol. xo Diana
