It's nice for a country home.  I could do without the wallpaper on the wall but if I needed it, I would go with polka dot wallpaper like the cusions on the stools.

@Nonametoday  , I like it.  Not a fan of open shelving though...dust, bugs in cottage country, etc.

Charming!  Very cheerful and would be a happy place to have coffee and just gather your thoughts!

The room is cute but I think ALL wallpaper looks dated within 5 years. And such a pain to remove... it's a never- do for me! Of course, I have removed it in my last house in about 8 rooms- painstakingly.. , so I guess i am a little biased toward paint! Lol!!

Yes, very sweet cottage feel.  If it was mine though, I think I would switch the light blue cupboards and shelving to white.  It has quite a lot of blue.  Overall, I like it!

It does have a certain charm, but not my style.

very cute and charming, but not a huge fan of Open Shelving, or of the curtains!

Not feeling it. I am generally turned off by that kind of curly cue wood work.

There's not much of anything here that I like, personally but it would be OK for a vacation rental.
