Inspiration ~ Window Seat

This weekend is going to be a whirlwind of last minute cleaning, repairing and organizing. We hand in our keys at the townhouse and the shop on Sunday and we still have things to get rid of at both places.

I'm not going to have time to do any more work on this mini makeover so I thought I would post some inspiration photos for our window seat area in the meantime to give you an idea of what's to come.

Inspiration ~ English Country Cottage Gardens

With the warmer weather sticking around and the sun continuing to shine, we have been spending as much time as we can outside weeding and tidying up the yard. We still have a LONG way to go but we've been working on some projects that will add a little more curb appeal to our diamond in the rough.

All along I have envisioned what our bungalow has the potential to be. Call me a dreamer but I can see a warm cozy inviting abode through all of the grime and disarray.

True to my British heritage I am in love with English country cottages and gardens. Here's a little country cottage inspiration for you all......

Do you notice a exterior colour scheme going on in the above photos? Call it a preview if you will ;)

 

I would love to plant a small hedge along the front with a little country gate. Plant a veggie garden on the side and fill the perimeter with wild flowers and flowering shrubs including Forget-me-not, Foxglove, Lavender, Viburnum, Kerria, Grape Hyacinth, and Daisies. Soon I hope, but I know slow and steady wins the race.

Can you guys envision it as well???!
