Wrap it up!
Its getting closer to wrapping time.... what do you do?  Do you buy massive amounts of paper to wrap?  I usually change my wrapping every year... and I keep seeming to try to make it as simple as possible with looking as nice as it can...
I have been out searching Pinterest for some great simple ideas....here is what I have found:

1. Doily and Costume Jewelry:


2. Mason Jars...not just for food

3. Take out boxes and lunch bags


4. paper towel rolls

 
5. Scrapbook paper
6.  Use a picnic basket


7.  Old boxes and tins



8. Old Maps
9. Newspaper
 10 Sewing Patterns
Or you can make them themed and color cordinated

 So what ever you do....have fun and keep it light simple and whimsy!

I know I will be doing a pink and Kraft paper theme this year... I jut can't wait to wrap!

Ways to get the Romantic Cottage look

There are several ways to get a Romantic Cottage look...
I thought I would list a few:


  • Fill pitchers with garden flowers that have day-old blooms.
  • Let the light in.  Opt for soft, gauzy window treatments.
  • Cover your sofa with throws and pillows made from vintage fabrics.
  • If you have wood floors, show them off. 
  • Choose fabrics with similar colors, texture and design and use as accents throughout the house.
  • Use a cedar chest for a coffee table.
  • Display your tea towels, china collection, lost and found finds and other go-to cottage accessories.
  • Bring in romantic details, such as wicker accessories, sensuous throws, soft lighting, candles, crystal to catch the light, flowers and fabrics that play on the senses.
  • From bed to bath, in the kitchen and in the dining room, floral prints add soft texture and appeal.
  • Let nature inspire, use its colors, bounties and elements in your cottage vignettes.
  • Paint vintage pieces white or soft pastel shades.
  • Add comfort not clutter, edit a room so it provides fundtion and beauty.
  • Group your collections by color and/or by kind, showcase them on bookshelves or tables.
  • Mix and match your dining rooms chairs, adding a couple of chairs from Lost and Found.
  • Show off your reading skills: stake of books lend themselves to a the cottage lifestyle.
  • Mix and match: decorate a room with architectural elements and add elegant touches like a silver tea caddy, crocheted cocktail napkins and a crystal bowl filled with fruit, flowers or vintage small toys (dominoes, hot wheel cars, tinker toys).
