More Vignettes from Romantic Southern Cottages...

From Victoria Magazine... (some previously posted)

 

A white cottage overlooks a lush green lawn in our Romantic Cottage 2024 issue.

 

 

 

Carolyn Westbrook has built a brand—and a home—around the subtle blending of vintage French style with relaxed Southern comfort, evidenced by welcoming botanical exteriors and royal blue drapery and décor interiors.

 

 

 

Cottages shutters stand over a humble vanity, framing images of nature.

 

 

 

A coastal cottage's welcoming den reflects the blue tides and sandy dunes in paint, décor, and charm.

 

 

 

An open wrap-around white porch is set for two to enjoy the summer afternoon.

 

 

 

Homespun linen kitchen aprons hang against a white wood panel wall. A water pitcher and lemons nestle on a suitcase nearby.

 

 

 

A sun-dappled porch with white couch sits waiting for an eager reader to enjoy their next chapter on a quiet afternoon.

 

 

 

Supple linens and small details turn rooms into sanctuaries.

I'm not a traditionalist but that living room with the blue accents is sooooo  pretty and looks so inviting and comfortable.

Love the exterior and porches of the home, but the interior is not my taste. The window treatments do't flow for me, I think it is the valance boxes and the eclectic style mixture.

Re: More Vignettes from Romantic Southern Cottages...

Love the porches and the exterior, especially the hydrangeas and the little white settee like my great aunt had. The livingroom is nice with all the blues, but the curtains are too busy and the boat has to go; it is too big for the room and everything else has to compete with it.
