"The Soulful Cottage" by Fifi O'Neill


With spring on the way, I've been adding more rose decor at my house, and for inspiration, I ordered a copy of Fifi O'Neill's The Soulful Cottage. I've seen her work in lots of books and magazines over the years, and I've always loved her French-Chic-meets-Shabby Chic sensibility.


It's funny how one simple photo can inspire an idea. I have never accessorized a chair with a tea pitcher, but why not? I probably wouldn't use my most-treasured piece, but yes, I would give this a whirl.


My eyes naturally went straight to the pretty rose glasses in this photo because I have some just like them!


And all the roses in this charming decor? I'm here for it. I should also mention that when magazines are going for $14.99 these days, it's not a hard decision to buy a hardback book for $20, especially one as lovely as The Soulful Cottage, and I'll bet some of you would enjoy it too!

  2. Very nice photos in that book! I do like the rose-covered fabric in the pillows and curtains. I've always liked fabric with roses on it.
