Autumn Accents
When the leaves turn to burnished copper and gold our thoughts turn to snug evenings by the fire, and walks through the woods. This small cottage tucked deep within the forest may be the perfect solution to satisfy the pull of all things Autumn.. great for a weekend retreat or a full time occupancy for those wanting a quiet life away from the outside world.
Welcome to a slice of Autumnal living where the colours of this majestic season have been brought inside this simple cottage interior.
A central staircase and built-in graduated storage acts as a room divider between the kitchen and sitting areas.
Flagstone floors and feature wall add to the rustic cosiness.
Autumn foliage collected from the woods beyond.
Corner dinning area at the foot of the stairs.
The walls are predominately white throughout to act as a foil to the rich earthy furnishings.
As dusk falls the interior colours soften to drowsy mochas.
accents of bronze metallic and brick textures sit side by side.
tucked to one side of the stairs is the kitchen area.
with built-in oven and the essential items needed as the base of a good meal.. because everything tastes better with wine.
simple shelving and the all essential months supply of teas.
the house sits immediately within the wood.
soft mellow harmony of reddish browns and the cosy comforts of a log fire. With this location you never run out of logs.
tv to keep in touch with the world beyond and some reading for those long winter days to come.
Upstairs the view from the bed is a riot of autumns splendours.
calico bed linens and a glimpse of the bedroom surroundings.
Orange, apricot and pale mushroom tones create a gentle vibe
If you love nature the outlook doesn't get much better as the seasons rotate throughout the year.
looking down through the stairs to the floor below.
built-in storage and simple but unmistakable feminine accessories
freestanding bath lead to the concealed bathroom corner.
everything you need for a relaxing soak.
part tiled and well stocked bathroom corner. Because every girl needs her potions and lotions.!!
compact. but idea for a single girl this bedroom/bathroom is a combination of cosy chic-ness

Ohh Karen! You had me at that opening shot! What a gorgeous, cozy, wonderful cottage! I absolutely adore how well you outfitted the compact kitchen and bath! But that living room with the flagstone, fireplace, beautiful sofa and rug, and then the perfect staircase .... I would love to own this jewel of a home!
