Bright Cottage

 Buongiorno!

Non sò voi, ma quando le giornate sono grigie e  piovose,

sento un'inarrestabile voglia di cottage, di nido caldo.

Così oggi vi propongo queste immagini di questo bel cottage

inglese.

Hello!
I don't know about you, but when it's grey and rainy I feel
an irresistable willing of cottage, of warm nest.
So today I want to share with you these beautiful
english cottage images.

Le stufe in ghisa dentro i camini...

uno dei miei oggetti del desiderio!!!

The wood burning stoves inside old fireplaces...

...one of my dream!!!

Una ampia e comoda poltrona vicino

ad una finestra...

A big and cosy armchair

near a window...

...e un grande letto pieno di cuscini!

...and a big bed with lots of pillows!

Ecco cosa ci vuole in una giornata piovosa!

Here is what it's needed during a rainy day!

A farmhouse cottage in Cornwall

I've travelled all around Cornwall, alone, a summer of some years ago. Beautiful little cottages, amazing coastal scenery and delightful little villages...

...and wind... so much wind!!!

At that time I was a student travelling on a budget, but  how wonderful would be to stay in this lovely farmhouse cottage in the lush Ruthern Valley?

Look closely to the next image...

How lovely to have such a view over the sink!!! And if you don't have it, why not painting it? Yes it's a trompe l'oeil!! Love it!

The living room is so English-country-style-ish!

And the bedrooms so cosy!

But wait, a cat in the bathroom??? Eh Eh Eh! =)

You got it! It's another trompe l'oeil!!!

Have a Happy Sunday, my dearests!

English country cottages

A couples of years ago I've lived for several months in UK, Devonshire to be exact. I was working from Monday to Friday and exploring the region during the week end! It has been one of the most happy period of my life and I've lost a piece of my heart in Devon! First of all I was in love with the fantastic green country and the beautiful straw roofed traditional cottages. One of my fave pastimes was to catch the train or the bus and visit the little villages all aound the moor (Dartmoor). This sweet villages was monstly composed by: a church, some pubs, a handful of shops and these cute little cottages. 
Here're some pictures:

I've always thought that these cottages look like fairy houses!

Very often the inside is renovated, so you can find fantastic interiors:

Or renovations that leave ontouched the original structure. This bedroom is amazing...

At that time I was not yet passed to digital fotos. Well, I LOVE my old Canon and LOVE to take photos ...in the old way!!!! (I worked as photographer for a couple of years). It took me A LOT to buy my first digital camera (it happened only in 2007!!!!). So I have tons of pictures, but I have to pass them in digital format and I need time....rare stuff. But I promise I will do it..someday, somehow!
