• {Romantic Beach Cottage} Favorite Five Finds

    Posted on May 21, 2011 by in Beach Cottage Decor, Favorite Finds
    You may be wondering what Romantic Beach Cottage is…. in my mind it consists of vintage pieces with history; beautifully embellished classics; cottage flowers and vintage-reproductions which all combine together in a lovely and eclectic way. Romantic doesn’t always have to be about ruffles and lace, although that is also a beautiful look. We hope you enjoy this week’s finds!
    Much of the beach house’s allure is in its reflection of a simpler way of life, a pared-down existence where the breeze is the housekeeper, the furnishings don’t mind a damp swimsuit, and the most precious treasures are seashells and memories. ~ Mary Emmerling
    ONE: Antique European Grain Sack Table Runner ~ This piece was hand woven back in the 1800s and is approximately 90 3/4″ long and 21″ wide.  This gorgeous vintage piece comes with free ground shipping to anywhere in the continental United States.
