About Me

 What to say about

 me... 

I'm  Courtney 
and I am a
day dreaming girl...

who has grown up into a

mother

I'm a daughter
 and a sister.

and a granddaughter

I am a stay at home mom to three 

 incredible
 &
 inspiring
(and goofy!)
 kids 

I have a passion for  Interior design and decorating
 and now that my babies are older

 I am beginning to pursue that part of my dreams.




French Country Cottage 
is my blog inspired by my own little
 French Country Cottage
An old neglected vacation house when we found it-
 it's taken a lot of blood, sweat and tears to make it a home


 I  love construction 
and even have my very own 'baby' set of power tools
 so that I could put siding and cedar shake shingles
up on our guest cottage one weekend.
(yep, I can get a little wild and crazy)
;)
I love  creating something from nothing or re-imagining a forgotten treasure in a new way.
I love beautiful elegant pieces with comfortable warm and rustic accents.

An old weathered wood  table with polished silver &  monogrammed china 

A gilded louis chair upholstered in burlap and draped with a beautiful faux fur throw

a gorgeous French armoire with elegant lines and details and covered in chipping paint...

The mix of the rustic and the elegant is perfection to me.

"The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. 

The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg;

 and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs.

Dreams are the seedlings of realities."
