If My Blog Was A Room – Next Up – Cottage and Vine

November 17, 2011 by Amber Filed Under: blog room series Leave a Comment

Welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am so excited to have Rene here, from her design blog Cottage and Vine. Rene is a very talented interior decorator who beautifully blends traditional with modern. I am inspired by her projects and am super excited to see what her blog room would look like! Here is her pretty blog header:

And here is what she came up with-

Hello to all of Amber’s readers!  I am René from the Cottage & Vine blog and I am happy to be invited to be a part of this fun series.  Well, I say fun, but honestly, it isn’t easy to pick one room that says it all – so I picked two.  Thank you Amber for this therapy session.  I think I needed that ;).

When I first started my blog the name that came to me was Cottage & Vine.  “Cottage” to me means fresh not shabby.  Think equal parts of rustic and chic, a mix of old and new, in a hi-low approach.  “Vine” comes from my love of gardening and the organic elements that I like to incorporate into our home.  If my blog was a room, it could easily be the entry in the above image.  I think it shows what my blog is all about.  Painted & natural wood, organic elements, and an eclectic mix are all things that I feature on Cottage & Vine.  I would like to throw a colorful rug in there somewhere though.

I want my blog to be a place where people can hang out and feel comfortable.  At the same time, I hope that visitors are intrigued and inspired.

Thanks so much for having me today Amber!

I am definitely inspired, Rene! Thanks so much for being here. I loved hearing the story behind your blog name. And these images definitely remind me of your blog! The ikat ottomans with that mirror over the mantel is amazing! If you’re not a follower already, definitely stop by Rene’s blog– you’ll be so happy you did!

I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades, no matter which way you walk into the room. The glow is so pretty at night and it transformed that original to the home chandelier! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #bhghome #hgtv #myballardstyle #yespb #sharemygrandin #diningroom #livingroom

The chandelier looks so much bigger for this space. The second image shows the before, so you can also compare! Sometimes, you don’t have to replace the whole light fixture. One new, small idea can make all the difference. Thanks so much @frontgate #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #hgtv #bhghome #loveyourhabitat #diningroom
I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive for our dining room fixture. This light was here when we moved in and I think adding the cream shades will make the chandelier look bigger in scale and just give it a new look! Stay tuned… #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #sharemygrandin #yespb #myballardstyle #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #diningroom
Umbrella update… after two years, this @target f Umbrella update… after two years, this @target find still looks brand new! It has been through wind, rain and lots of sunshine and still has that beautiful navy blue color. I wasn’t able to find the exact one, but my Like to Know It page has two very similar options! And if you need me, I’ll be here all weekend! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #poolside
