Cottage Furniture

Sink into cottage furniture ... spring’ll get here soon enough

These are the months — as the snow quietly drifts outside — when the warmth of a cozy hearth draws us inside. When cottage furniture made of sturdy wood and soft cushions muffle thoughts of spring.
We’d rather be in here, watching the flakes fall. Here, where time doesn’t matter.
In small, comfy spaces like this, furniture should be simple, yet adequate. It’s the charm of efficiency, practicality.

It’s a spirit we brought with us from the Old World — and it’s a style that is re surging, according to RealtyBizNews.com.                            
So how, we wonder as we watch the snow continue, do we furnish it?
We look back, RealtyBizNews says.

“Look to flea markets and antique stores,” a recent post on the site suggests. “You don’t have to worry too much about having a matching furniture set. Look for comfortable, functional furniture, and accent the room with antique picture frames, ornate mirrors and vintage ornaments.”

Consider the rest of your decor, too, the post urges. Pastel colors tend to work best — coral, green, pink and yellow make for dainty, country-style rooms.
And think creatively:
“If you can’t find an antique lamp, consider converting a vintage jug or vase into a table lamp for an authentic look,” RealtyBizNews says.
Mmmm. Yeah, maybe.

Romantic Bedding

                                                                        

Imagine plush romantic bedding atop an antique wrought-iron bed, soft light glowing from a vintage style lamp. Decorative pillows and country antiques tastefully decorate the room. A quiet country breeze moving gently through the room. An oasis in an otherwise extremely busy life.
It's always so nice to get away from reality and stress and to have a place where you can just let your cares fade into the background. For many people, a trip away from the city and out to the country is a very popular stress reliever. However, if weekend getaways to the B & B in the countryside aren't a possibility, how about bringing some of that comfort into your home instead?

Decoupage At The Pink Pig

I must say i do have a case of cabin fever here in the Adirondack's as we are expecting another major snowstorm this Friday.  To keep things moving along here at the shops we have been busy working on a few pieces of cottage furniture for Spring.  I thought i would share with you a few clever ways we gave our antique furniture a new look with our new Decoupage Design.

Decoupage became popular in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries.  Many were found on small decorative boxes, trays and tables cleverly pasted by a skilled artist.

Here at the Pink Pig we have given a selection of antique furniture a new look with our Decoupage finish using vintage music sheets.

These decoupage projects have been fun and challenging for sure but produces delightful results that i am now searching for more interesting ways to use decoupage.

Let me know what you think and please share your ideas with me!

Thanks so much for stopping by
