rusty star cottage: decorating the cottage

my new remodel job, wow!

Hello sisters,
I've spent the past 3 days updating/remodeling my bedroom into a gorgeous sanctuary. I was so lucky to find the paint I wanted, it's a mellow candle-glow, that comes to life at night when the lamps are lit! There were times when I didn't think I would make it through this paint project, oh, how i wanted to quit! But i kept on telling myself it would be worth it!
During this remodel we had horrible storms that continued throughout Friday night and during the daytime Saturday!
I am so grateful there was no damage to my house or neighborhood. I had to sleep on the couch for 2 nights but tonight, I will absolutely enjoy kicking back in my sweet new room, and read my favorite decorating magazines!

decorating the cottage

my cottage is about 99 years old (?) and is decorated in country/primitive style with
more than enough rusty stars everywhere you look...

i started out with a huge rusty star on my porch, and now my whole house is full of them!
i love the country prim decorating style because its so warm, cozy and inviting.

my rooms are painted soft golden yellow, candlelite-hue, with warm oak accessories, shutters,
sheep, pictures, paintings, candles, Mary Englebreit trinkets, and garlands of berries everywhere.

please feel free to stop in for conversation and a hot cup of tea or coffee!
