Truly, nothing is “matchy-matchy” anymore! From eclectic entertaining tablescapes to interior design, it’s all about a collection of items that lends the color and creates the feel you are going for!

Colorful Beach Cottage

Says author Sandy Garrett owner of Cottage Style Decorating,  “For cottage style decorating seems to be more of a feeling than hard and fast rules. It evokes a feeling of simple, comfortable, relaxing surroundings where you can escape from the world around you. Where you can create a cozy, quiet haven from the stress of your everyday life and just relax and be yourself.

With no rules, you can choose to surround yourself with those things that make you happy, those things you love being around. You can choose to decorate your home with that favorite collection like tea pots or tea cups, baskets, mismatched pottery and china or birdhouses. Or, you can create a cozy, nurturing bedroom with a vintage or new quilt on the bed or a chenille bedspread with pretty, ruffled pillows and sheer or lace curtains at the window.” Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/4895097

Vintage china is in vogue to create that cottage feel! So many colors, styles and eras to choose from!
