I Miss Cottage Living

I know I'm not alone.  The November and December issues were always my favorite. 

 I was just flipping through some old ones today. 
Remember this house? It was in the Nov. 2006 issue. 
This was my first introduction to Cottage Living and I looked at this home for LONG time. 

We had just gone under contract on our current home at the time. 

And I wanted it to feel like this house. 

Warm, inviting, filled with pretty art, books, antiques...

This is still one of my all time favorite dining rooms!

I was never cool enough to pull off the Domino look.

I was never wealthy enough to afford the Traditional Home look.

Cottage Living was just right.

And I want it back.

I've recently resubscribed to Southern Living, but it's just not the same.

There are far bigger problems in the world, this is true.

In my own life too, but right now I'm having a Starbuck's, sitting outside,

and wishing I was flipping through a new Cottage Living while my baby sleeps.

Thank you very much.

And just in case you miss it too, I thought you might enjoy reminiscing with me.
