What does cottage charm mean to you? To me, it means a relaxed and comfortable place. It's inviting, a place that rises up to greet you, as Oprah would say. It's never too uptight. It's a mix of old and new. It's a big comfy chair or sofa.
Well, Kim at Twice Remembered Cottage is having a month long giveaway and I thought I would join in. We're supposed to giveaway things we feel have "cottage charm".
Remember this post I did about this ruffled ruffled kitchen towel I made?
No? Well, let me refresh your memory. It's a large flour sack towel with three ruffles.
The ruffles are not hemmed and are meant to fray with each washing. So wanna know how to win it?
1. Follow Froufroubritches on Google Friend Connect and leave me a comment saying you are a follower (required).
2. Leave me a comment stating what you love about cottage style.

ReplyDeleteAnd... what do I love about cottage style? I've always loved the classic comfortable look of cottage style... especially now... Being an expat living in South Korea, it reminds me of my cute cottage home in NC. (don't worry... when I win this cute dish towel... which South Korea is sadly lacking in, I must say... I'll be in NC awaiting my package... heehee)

Cottage to me means a mix of new, vintage, and shabby. It's a home that feels like a home, not a fancy show place.
ReplyDeleteYou know I've stalked you forever... :-P ..so there I am...

ReplyDeletewhat i love? it's recycling, repurposing, creative expression ~ just my style ~ set by me not by designers :) with items that are comfy, homey,useable, things i appreciate..
ReplyDeletethx for asking :))
I'm following you!
ReplyDeletehmm...what I like about cottage style? probably that it can be so many different things: vintage, white, pink, farmhouse, French, etc. I am not cottage yet, well...I'm not sure what I am, I just know it's not cottage :p BUT, I'll probably, eventually and hopefully, end up a mix of several kinds.
ReplyDeletebtw, love your blog title, lol!!
ReplyDeleteI love the ruffled towel!
ReplyDeleteIf you decide upon upholstered stools, opt for upholstery fabric and material that is resistant to kitchen spills and stains. A faux suede or leather is an ideal choice. Choose contemporary designs such as scoop back seats and chrome legs for an updated kitchen space.
