oceanna, I've seen that HGTV site before, it's great-- I just wish they get bigger pics!

I love cottage style and hope more people post pics here. I have links only to share and hope they post properly.

luckygal, those links are great. I especially love the historic homes . . .I could look all day! It is AMAZING how cheap some of those homes are. I found a gorgeous one that was under $100K. If it were located in my area, it would easily have sold for closer to a million.

Too bad the whole "location, location, location" rule is so very true!

Okay, you asked for it. Here are a few I have tucked in my files that you may or may not feel qualify:

Thanks for the picture show! Lots of beautiful pics. Budge, that's a great blog!

You might enjoy the pics of my cottagey/shabby chic guest room....

Is this a gender thing? So many of us women LOVE the look! When I was on my own, I had all white layered bedding with white cottage curtain window treatments, florals, stripes, rose colors, etc.

How many of you find men like the cottage style look? I had to go "heavy English library" cottage look because of my husband. He can't walk into a frilly room! He's fine with William Morris English A&C. Give him rolled arms, nailhead trim, down filled tapestry pillows, a Morris rug -- all in sage, merlot and gold.

We also have two grown sons who feel the same way, so I had to de-feminize our guest bedroom so that they'd ask their friends to stay over -- their friends usually slept on the leather sofa in the upstairs multi-purpose room rather than sleep on a white painted iron bed with white curtains and a white painted dressing table! I painted the bed bronze and put a coffee glaze on the dresssing table. LOL

Just curious.

Both of my husbands have liked our fairly feminine bedrooms -- mainly the colors, not ruffles.

Here's a House Beautiful spread on cottage style that I just love.

Squirrel ~~ you're very welcome! After doing all that work I tacked those pics onto an old thread in the Gallery asking for Cottage Style pics so if someone wants to see them again later, they'll be there.

There are a couple of bedroom pics there that make me drool. One is the one with the wide green stripes on the bed. The other is the bedroom done in orange and green. I tried really hard to find fabric to make a duvet like that, as I wanted to do that whole thing in my room. But I finally gave up in defeat.

Wonby ~~ it depends on the man. After years of living single and dating, always keeping the house a bit masculine (just in case what??) in my last house I finally figured I'd go for it. I didn't do pink and white, but my living room had roses on the wallpaper ten feet up! I had tassels, and lace, and ruffled pillows, and velvet swags and jabots, and even a couple of teddy bears and an angel figurine in my living room. But there were some heavier colors in there too, like lots of hunter green. And plenty of pale dusty peach which is close enough to pink.

Most men loved it. I only had one make a disparaging remark ever. I could make a couple of remarks about him here, but I'll refrain. hehe

However, that is not the same as expecting many husbands to live swathed in white and pink flowers, especially in the bedroom. A lot of them just can't handle that. But some can.

I've got tons and tons of these types of bedrooms saved on my computer. Here is aa Arts & Crafts Bradbury and Bradbury bedroom I love:

And here is another bedroom that just made me drool:

I love the cottage style in that link. That resembles more of what we are doing -- less victorian influence and more traditional influence.

Oceanna, our computers must be something! I can't even imagine how many images and other decorating stuff I've got stored on this thing. Then there are the piles of magazines and books!

Woodlander, I just got lost on that link for about an hour, lol!

It's such a wonderland out here!

When we were casually house hunting we happened upon the pictures of this house and I really, really wanted to buy it but it was only a one bedroom house and the realtor told ours that they wouldn't go down on the price. We would have needed to add another bedroom. The decor alone sold me.

Squirrel, maybe we should include our decorator computer files in our wills? Yes my files are pretty extensive. I gave up on subscribing to magazines because I never wanted to throw them out. I have a few stacks left. I hope to see you post scads of pictures from your files!

Hey! Where did Anele go?

DK,
Those rooms are wonderful. And thanks for posting...because, I just put up shutters. And...Restore just got in dozens of brand new door cornaces just like the ones shown. I really wanted to do something with them, but couldnt' visualize how they would work. Now I'll buy them to finish out the living room.

De, I would have wanted that house, too! Do you think 3 girls, 3 cats, DH, and I would fit? :)

Cameron, my DH would not want the white/pink/florals look. Other types of cottage would be better, though still not his ideal. When I show him pics of cottage style, he says (1) they look like homes of elderly people and (2) they are too cluttered. He also doesn't like the chippy look. The difference between us, though, is that he'll get used to something within a few days and I never will . . .so while I definitely won't go overboard on frills and lace, the slightly chippy stuff will still come in.
