Living Room Refresh with Cottage Style

ByJennifer
The “cat” will play! We all need a break sometimes, don’t we?My wonderful mother took the kids for a few hours on New Year’s Day. With hubby working, I started my “free time” with a trip to my Starbuck’s for a decaf, a cheese and fruit treat and of course a cupcake that I didn’t have to share.. with anyone. It was a great time to do a living room refresh with cottage style. Then I took a few hours, by myself, to get the house back in shape. I started in my entsy-weensty living room. And it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t use the opportunity to completely rearrange things.
A living room with vintage-style furniture, a beige sofa, an armchair, a coffee table with candles, wall decor, and a mirror with a wreath above the sofa.

 

It felt great to bring in a fresh new look after the holiday glitz. I left my pomegranate wreath up…I kind of like it for a bit of color.
A cozy living room refresh with cottage style features a patterned armchair, a beige sofa, sideboard with lamp and potted plant, decorative plates on the wall, and candles on the table.

 

Say bye-bye to the paisley fabric on that $20 chair. I have a luscious tawny brown to put on it to make it look fresh and new and cottagey.
A tray of candles on a table adds a cozy touch, perfect for a living room refresh with cottage style.

 

And I didn’t want to put away my flameless candles yet; so I grouped them on a tray on my coffee table. I love how decorating by grouping things like candles looks so expensive but it so inexpensive. And put some shredded paper in my favorite nest basket but I am not sure what to put inside of it yet. I love the look of shredded book pages.  Books themselves are so great to decorate with. I love this project for repurposing books.
A table with a decorative lamp, two stacked books, and a potted plant with moss near a window with sheer curtains creates the perfect spot for a living room refresh with cottage style charm.

 

I brought out the moss to freshen up the room, and it really adds a nice, bright spot!
