Curated Summer Cottage Decor

My next pop-up shop, June 13 and 14, is themed "Cottage and Cabin" so I have been busy curating items that fall into that theme. I shared some cabin items in my last post, so lets talk cottage now with this summer cottage mood board I created with recently sourced items.

Cottage style is about comfortable, charming, and cozy decor. It is embracing imperfections of worn and well-loved, vintage items. It involves styling with color and mixing patterns, using florals and pastural landscapes. Keep reading to see the close-up details of these recently curated, cottage goods.

Pitchers, like this lovely teal floral one, holding freshly cut or picked flowers exude cottage style.

This vintage linen tablecloth and six napkins with delicate yellow flowers is in pristine condition. Ne need to iron the tablecloth for the cottage lifestyle.

I love this brown ironstone transferware.

I love the maker's mark on this transferware. This pottery manufacturer began in Burslem, England in 1842.

An embroidered, floral pillow, a vintage (1983) print in an antique frame, a handmade, wood game board, and a yellow planter with the cutest, vintage wood squeezer in it all convey that comfy, cottage look.

A vintage Cezanne landscape print is peaceful and adds color.

A hand painted, silk, floral umbrella (that I may make into a light) and vintage field guides would be right at home in a quaint space.

A silky, sunflower print curtain panel would make a lovely table square or dresser scarf. The wood, yarn spinner can be used to dry flowers and herbs on. The cross stitched Home Sweet Home depicts a lovely, sweet cottage.

A copper kettle, an aqua bee pitcher, and a small wood tote (perfect for holding flowers) were fun finds.

A rattan fly swatter, and vintage stitcheries sit on top of an old crate painted cream. The crate can be used as a small bookshelf, a place to hold blankets, or a simple side table when sitting on its end.

The blue and white striped curtain panel that is under all the curated decor may be used in my shop as a curtain or I may use the fabric for upholstery. I love curating unique, vintage finds for my customers and look forward to styling these for my upcoming shop, June 13 & 14.
