Searching for Antique Treasures - Cottage Style in the Adirondacks


I recently went on a house call to look at a unique mansion full of Cottage Style Furniture.  This mansion called "Cobblestone" has an abundance of history as well as architectural design. With natural stone and log decor, this mansion featured several stone fireplaces along with 13 spacious rooms of fantastic hardwood floors and magnificent stone archways.  I was amazed as I walked from room to room to find one treasure after another.

I entered a large sleeping porch through a wall of french leaded glass doors. The room was filled with natural light and beautiful vintage wicker in an amazing shade of pink.

Gorgeous wallpaper
I climbed the massive staircase to the second level only to find this AMAZING wall of beautiful wallpaper.


Walking room to room I continued to find bedrooms filled with pretty blue painted dressers....fantastic twin beds with curved footboards and ticking fabric mattresses and various small tables each with their own unique design.



I have my work cut out for me! Visit us again as I bring each of these amazing examples of true Cottage Style Furniture back to it's original beauty.

Farmhouse Style Living Simple and Easy


Few dreams of home are as pure and sweet as life in the country. Casual does not have to mean sloppy and beautiful "country" design depends on
the country you're talking about. A well designed anything, made by hand with care, beats out everything made any other way.

I took a few more photos of the barn and an inside peek of what the carriage house, which is the Pink Pig, looked like this past season.




I love mirrors! The larger the better! So we placed this large 7x5 foot mirror against the far wall to capture some of the old with the new. This charming sofa was new, but I found a way to surround it with old pieces we found at a nearby farmhouse which was filled with treasures of the past. I love the old coffee table with it's old chair rail legs and painted green top.



























Morning sun pours through the windows of the second floor of the carriage house which is filled with antique iron beds with wonderful vintage quilts that sing to each other across the room and are cherished by me for the graceful connection to the past.












My favorite barn is this small yellow barn which originally was a Blacksmith Shop on the property. In the summer months it is surrounded by beautiful wild flowers which grow taller year after year.

I have been busy this month searching for new items of interest for the stores so I hope you will visit again soon as I am just finishing up some wonderful pieces of Victorian Wicker which will be on the site soon!

White Cottage Cabinet


Look at the wonderful cottage style on this white painted cabinet. I am sure you will find the perfect place for this unique piece in your home. This cabinet has plenty of room for storage and it's the perfect spot to display your collectibles.

Doors with original detail on both sides with two drawers in the middle with pretty hardware. There are casters on this piece which may be easily removed. An original 1930's piece with style!

Did I mention it looks fabulous with my white chic mirror? Available at the Pink Pig.
