Show Off Your Cottage Monday


I am participating in "Show Off Your Cottage Monday"  I have chosen the images that say cottage to me or more importantly home.  I love the cottage look, but I like "French Country" as well, so I think there are touches of cottage, french country, country, and vintage, and beachy throughout the house.

This is the display space above my kithchen cabinets, the ceilings are very high in my house and I feel if I didn't have something up there it would look really bare. 

Nothing says home like a tea pot on the stove.
's
With 2 son's in their 20's now, it is still Mom's Diner and yes open 24/7.

Out side on the lanai, I like to play with my treasures and make it feel like a country porch.
There is a porch swing out in the side yard, that reminds me of my grandma's front porch. 
Birds and nest's speak of cottage feeling.
Quilts, family heirlooms,
My beachy cottage quest room.  Or otherwise called the cats room.
Family pictures have to be included, this my baby with me on his 16th Birthday.
Plenty of linens and cloth napkins and baskets.
Big clock on the wall.
Wedding china in the dining room.
Inherited family silver
Thanks for allowing to share my home.
