Tips to get a "Modern Cottage" look

I love these tips from The Inglenook Decor on how to create a modern cottage.

1. Have a neutral back drop. Go for creams, white, beige, gray (like the one shown below), clay, sage & light browns.

2. Choose furniture pieces that are fuss-free. Go for clean lines & comfort. Make it livable & cozy like upholstered furniture whether it's the sofa, dining chairs or a headboard.

3. Have white....lots of it! This picture says it all, white is not boring if you choose the right pieces.

4. Have at least one piece, a wall or a window with a bold pattern & color. Bright orange & greens seem to go real well with white.

5. Have a ledge display of your flea market finds.

6. Add ultra modern pieces in steel, aluminum, brushed nickel or chrome pieces. And last but not the least,keep it simple!

Pretty good tips huh?

The site also has lots of cute accessories to create looks such as "French Country," "Modern Vintage," "Rococo," and "Shabby Chic."

A sample of beautiful rooms from 2008

I'm sure like most of you, I cannot believe it is 2009! It feels like just last month I decided to start up Decorology, but time does fly when you're having fun. I thought I'd wrap up 2008 and welcome 2009 with a selection of rooms from this past year- some familiar, some maybe not so familiar.
All of these images I pulled from my flickr photostream. Enjoy!

Tres Chic Inspirational Interiors

Last night I finished painting my bedroom a lovely powder French-country blue (pictures too come!), so needles to say I have French country on the brain. French country can vary so greatly because France is so large, but most people probably think of the idyllic cottages of Provence. My definition is probably a little too loose for some, all I know is I love the sophisticated rustic charm, bringing touches of the outdoors inside, and the romance.
