To me there is something wonderfully restful about this space. The painted wood panelling, with it's soft powder blue hue, provides an air of calm to the room. Whilst the natural textures of rattan baskets, smooth pebbles and chopped wood make the space feel all the more welcoming. I'd like to spend a weekend in this cottage, appreciating the restful qualities of country life for a few days. Whatever you are up to this weekend, friends, I hope you have a smashing time!
