Designer Ginger Barber creates a soft look in the rugged rural cottage featured in the July issue of House Beautiful (shown in the top image). Clean whites pair with earthy linens for a most comfortable, down-to-earth design. I love it all! I thought I'd put some Farmhouse Wares' goodies together, so you can get the rural cottage look too.Handcarved wood santo (shown left)
Making a guest room comfortable is all in the details. The room should be a cozy haven for friends and family. The bed should be as comfy as a cloud with crisp sheets and plenty of pillows. I always put fresh flowers by the bed, along with a bottle of water and a little note. I leave towels and guest soaps in a little basket at the foot of the bed. My most recent addition is this adorable Bird Transferware Dish for the dresser. I love it's vintage design, and it's just the right size for guests to put their accessories just before they hit that cozy cloud. I'd love to hear what you do to make your guests feel at home.
