I say that mantel is a keeper, for sure. It looks beautiful and perfect where you have it!

I REALLY don’t think you should be selling that, Sally. It looks way too perfect in that spot!! And it’s a great little display space for simple seasonal decor or flowers, candles, books…..need I say more? Haha.

Thanks so much Lisa!!

That silvery sage color is beautiful and perfect for the painted chest. It looks lovely!

Wow, that view on the trail is amazing! It looks so serene and inspiring. Your cottage and the surrounding grounds just give a feel of serenity and balance…kind of like being on vacation 🙂

Hi Sandee! I need to send one out! I’ve been really bad about that. When I first started the newsletter I sent them out all the time and then I don’t know what happened! The next time I send one I’ll be sure to check with you to see if you received it. Thank you for following along with Cottage Fix blog!! xo

dear Cottage Fix I have subscribed to you but I never get the newsletter; what should I do??? Thanks. Sandee from Fairfax Va.

I think the placement of your mirror is just right. And I understand about trying on more color for size, but sometimes it just doesn’t feel right. Maybe your lovely flowers are all the color your sweet cottage needs 🙂

Oh I know all about heat! We’ve been having afternoon storms almost daily here in Ga and it has been so humid and sticky outside. This summer has been wetter than usual. At least you live close to the beach. I bet the breeze feels delightful.

Your photos are always so well done, Sally. I’ve never been to Virginia, but I’ve been to other places that have similar weather near the water. Everyone is always surprised to learn that we have a LOT of humidity here in Nebraska, even though we are in the middle of flat plains. They say it is from all of the farmers’ irrigation. Can’t wait to see what new flowers you add in your cottage next. Our gardens are going to be a jungle this fall, too, ugh.
