introducing
Modern cottage living
It’s the coziness of a countryside cottage paired with a clean, fresh aesthetic,
handpicked vintage goods in a simple yet lovely vignette,
a bouquet of cut flowers and homegrown veggies collected in a thrifted basket,
and the satisfaction that comes with homemade curtains or bread fresh out of the oven.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t live in an actual cottage in the countryside – I don’t.
Modern cottage living is a feeling and a mindset.
It’s something you can create just about anywhere.
It’s homemade, it’s collected, it’s cozy but fresh.
It’s modern cottage living.
