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!

Can you believe it… I wrote a blog post!!! 😂 Can you believe it… I wrote a blog post!!! 😂 Head over to my blog (link in bio) to see what’s been going on with all things Amber B Design, including this bookcase beauty in the office of #ProjectClassicLiving #amberbdesign #coastalliving #myballardstyle
In my last post, I hinted at a new plan for the li In my last post, I hinted at a new plan for the living room. Now that the ladder has been relocated to the family room, this corner is definitely in need of some height. I almost went with the idea of a tree and while I love it in other homes, I just didn’t see it here. So I went on Pinterest in search of inspiration and @studiomcgee to the rescue! I love the idea of a pedestal with a vase and maybe some branches, instead of a tree. I can switch up the accessories on the pedestal and I think it’s the winner! Inspiration in the next slide. #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving
I have always liked to shop around my home, moving I have always liked to shop around my home, moving things to different rooms and making them feel like new accessories. It breathes new life into a space, even with subtle touches. I switched the living room and family room table lamps and I like the larger scale lamp in here! I have fun plans for the living room, which I’ll share soon. Happy Friday!! #amberbdesignathome #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #coastalliving
Once the Christmas tree is down, I always feel lik Once the Christmas tree is down, I always feel like the room is so bare. This year, we had it to the left of the television and I really feel like that space is now so empty. I tried the living room ladder in its place and I love it! But the living room needs it there too. What to do?! Maybe a tall plant in one of the spaces?! Two ladders within feet of each other?! 😂 #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #howyouhome #SMmakelifebeautiful #loveyourhabitat #bhghome
