Cottage Photo Dump

No closet in the master, just pegs.

I am stealing this idea for a Photo Dump from the lovely Mark at My Simple Life, whose blog I found recently and really enjoy reading. Wicked sense of homour that boy has.  I am feeling nostalgic for the cottage, to which we haven't been lately due to weekend commitments.  Plus I am somewhat disconnected from it lately.......................

With the cottage Maybe Sold (should know next week), my thoughts have been on what I have there to keep or sell.  The buyer has expressed interest in a lot of the furnishings, however we may end up having to bring the whole kit and caboodle home with us.  There's really nothing new in the whole place, except for the beds and sofa.  Everything else came second hand from thrift shops, antique or flea markets.  Especially for this place.  I am going to hate dismantling it. For almost every piece, I remember where I bought it and who I was with.  These pieces are not just furnishings, but were part of my adventures and days out with friends.

Made from an old shutter, this peg rack holds towels and nighties in the bathroom.

My bar stools and old cupboard....I bought that the day of my bosses funeral.
 We had arrived way too early for the service, parked and had coffee.
 We then found this shop beside the Church. 
Even though it may seem odd to shop on the day of a funeral,
 I think of him fondly when I see this cupboard.
 It reminds me of that sad day, but what a wonderful, gifted man he was.
He used to take me for lunch on my birthday. 
His funeral was on my birthday.

My super comfy "napping sofa" with the wall of mirrors behind it.

My mums old wing chair in it's new slipcover. 
Hooked pillow by Canadian artist Micheline Mann.

Sea blue accessories just worked so well in here.....

Wall of mirrors reflecting the vintage rose paintings.

Reflection of my old boxes...a bit of an infatuation for me

Stacked.....

My yellow Cubbie with my snow globes.....

Not sure why I bought a kids chair other than liking the colour. 
It serves as a door stop most of the time.

My favourite cabinet has alligator like finish....
It will leave a huge gap if I have to take it down, plus huge holes in the walls.

French market bag...a gift from my SIL.
She bought so much stuff in Lyon, she had to buy bags to put it in.



And the kitchen counter is covered in odd Bits.



I have been trying to decide if I should offer to sell them the entire contents, as is.  Perhaps they like and will use all the Bits.

Because it all seems to go with the place.  Most of it will not work in my city home, and will be too costly to ship to Florida.  But now I am putting the cart before the horse as it is still not really SOLD.
