The Inception of Me... The Cottage Queen

Alas, the blog is born. My identity as the Cottage Queen is official. You're wondering how I got here? Probably not. But as usual, I'm going to tell you anyways! (Don't try to shut me up when I have something on my mind. If I don't say it, I could regret it. Rule #1.)


As an interior design professional I have always wondered what my "style" is. Much like my personality, it consists of both ends of the spectrum. I love bright bold color with busy patterns and clean lines. I also love intricate antique lines and monochromatic color schemes. I find though, that when it comes to personal style it has always been a mix of it all. I call it Cottage BohoChic.


Cottage BohoChic is eclectic. It's unassuming and inviting. There are simple guidelines but no hard rules. It's about what makes YOU feel at ease and happy. It's personal. It's timeless. It's no fuss. It can be minimalistic or it can be a beautiful concoction of heirlooms and vintage knick knacks.


So why do I call myself the Cottage Queen? It can be summed up in a memory. Have you ever been the guest in a home, hotel or vacation property that was designed & decorated in such a way that when your host said, "Make yourself at home" you actually felt like you could? That feeling is what I strive to deliver for clients and their guests. I feel that way most often when I'm in a beach cottage with summer breezes, touchable linens and thoughtful decor. Viola! Cottage Queen, the instigator of sought after memories.
