MY COTTAGE LIVING ROOM WITH NEW COCOCOZY RUG

My living room! (above)

I just added a COCOCOZY Fence Rug in Natural Linen into the mix at my house.  Today I'm sharing with you a glimpse inside my little tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills because I need your thoughts on the rug!

Added lots of flowers and the new rug because best of friend AM was visiting.  The rug was initially meant for my bedroom but I ended up leaving it in the living room.

I have a few COCOCOZY textiles in the form of a pillow and a cotton knit throw as accents.  I wonder if I need curtains...thinking...a very small space so I wonder if drapery would finish the space or make it look closed in and cluttered.

What do you think about the rug...are drapes necessary?  Hmmm...thinking.

TE saw the new rug this past weekend.  He liked it. So did AM...so did her little kiddies!

More white hydrangea! (above)

So what do you think of my new rug? Would you have gone with a darker rug for more contrast or does the lighter color work? Do tell.

DARLING SWEDISH COTTAGE BY THE SEA - SEE THIS HOUSE INTERNATIONAL

Perfect atrium dining room with a glass ceiling and windows all around (above)

The real estate listing calls this home a New England style shabby chic cottage even though it is actually located in Sweden!. I would describe this cute Swedish house in the seaside town of Vallda Sando as plain old darling.

This quaint cottage is listed for about $760,000 USD and is just over 2000 square feet.  A true little gem built back in 1921 and renovated in 2010.  It is listed by Stadshem.

Even though I live in a tiny little cottage in the Hollywood Hills, I wouldn't necessarily say I am a classic cottage type of girl.  However, I could most likely work with this very classic cottage.  I love all of the windows and the bright white painted hardwood floors and walls. Visually manageable and easy to understand.  Not to complicated from an interior design perspective but just pretty enough.  The

The painted white hardwood floors throughout the house and the living room make a dramatic design statement. (above)

A nice romantic indoor porch perfect for a nice sit and read. (above)

The kitchen (above and below)

Pitch ceilings and white hardwood floors make this small master bedroom feel bright and airy. (above)

What do you think?  Would you take it or leave it?  Too quaint or just right?

I would take it and visit there for a few weeks every year.  Would be silly to pass up a cute house if someone was giving it to me!  Right?

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  Going to NYC this weekend...for a few days...going to spend the weekend in the Hamptons with best of friend AM and her kids (her hubby JE is out of town)...we're road tripping to the Hamptons...don't know what we'll get ourselves into considering both of us have a bit of Lucy from I Love Lucy in us!

LIVING & DINING RIGHT - 5 REASONS TO LOVE

Here are the 5 things I am loving about these two spaces...

1) Light hardwood floors in a herringbone pattern

2) Black framed pictures against a white wall

3) The color combination - blue, white, silver and black with a touch of green in the form of plants

4) The lighting - Love the 3 bold black wall sconces in the living room the two blue glass pendants in the dining room.

5) Seating - The squishy armless daybed and chair in the living room are so inviting.  The silver cafe chairs and banquette seating in the dining room are functional and stylish.

Can you name 5 more things you like about these rooms?

Happy Tuesday!
