PRAIRIE Style

You know those quizzes that tell you what decorating style you lean towards?

Mine usually came back with QUOTE a mixture

* farmhouse

* cottage

* industrial

* traditional

* country

yep – that is a mix, eh?

But I think I’ve touched on the name for the style I really lean to (currently at least)

PRAIRIE COTTAGE

I absolutely adore this book

by Fifi O’Neal

seriously!

While leisurely flipping devouring through the pages

I saw my stuff that I’ve had forever here at Northern Cottage

again & again in the layouts

like:

graphic signs

warm wood

white beadboard

metal accessories

vintage dishes

hello!!

does it get any better!?

I love that basket on the floor in this shot

and here I have one similar that I leave empty on my sofa table

I would love love love to get my hands on a metal table
like in this shot:

In the meantime, I’ll have to settle on my vintage kitchen scales

This beautiful scalloped topped cabinet is featured in the book:

and mine holds treasures in our living space

 

throughout the book there are moments & soft accessories that I

ALWAYS

SWOON

OVER

like this quilt:

Here’s MY favorite quilt

{the absolute best to wrap up in to read a good book!}

do you see this delicious table draped in linen below and then covered in a flannel backed moving cloth

I have the moving cloth ready for use

(I love that mine has some nice typography too)

and someday

my garden will something like this:

I’ve shared with you that I’ve also been moving toward a little more

calm

when it comes to colors etc. 

I love the serene palette that comes with the prairie

so natural

and easy

and comfortable

and real

it fits

{like a great pair of jeans... …

with maybe a flirty apron on top!}

It will be fun to show you how this plays out here at this cottage in the coming days!
