If I had my own cottage I would have no problem knowing what to do with it. It is a whole other kettle of fish if I had a house in the city. That I owned. My ‘style’ tends to be a little schizophrenic in nature – one thing one moment, another later on that same day. I have grand tastes at times, modest budget usually and dream big. “When I have extra money” is a regular thought that goes through my brain. Like that is EVER going to happen. Sometimes I like modern clean slate type looks, always love vintage, always love art and my attraction to certain colours comes and goes. So how the hell would I ever pull together one whole house? No idea. But like I said, a cottage? No problem.
*PS I should make it clear that I have two very different distinct ideas in my head for my Canadian cottage versus my Irish cottage. YUP! One day I will have 2. Mark my words*

Straight from the pages of Pure Green Magazine, which I am absolutely loving. Be sure to check out Pure Green Magazine Here - I had the pleasure of meeting Celine, the founder at Blog Podium. She was a gem. And extremely down to earth. I know that I will personally be supporting Pure Green as much as possible.

Okay I should just stop there because now I am getting sad that I don’t have this fictional cottage. XO
