DECORATING Cottage Home Tour Filled With Color and Pattern

A floral-themed chandelier with pink and yellow flower designs hangs from a chain against a ceiling with alternating pink and white squares. The wallpaper in the background features a floral pattern with red, green, and beige leaves.

A large, elegant Victorian-style house with white exterior walls and a wraparound porch. The house features a prominent rounded turret and multiple gables. It is surrounded by lush green lawn, trees, and a partly cloudy blue sky. A gravel driveway leads to the front.

Happy July.

I spent the weekend in Minden, Louisiana.

Point of Grace—one of my favorite groups on the planet had a Sips and Songs Event.

It was so surreal.

I have followed them for 25 years and their songs have been the playlist for so many of the events in my life.

And this weekend at 2:00 in the afternoon on the third floor of this incredible house in a room filled to the brim with conversation and laughter and music bouncing off the shiplap walls and Point of Grace sang their heart out as I sat two coffee table lengths away from them soaking up every note.

Right behind this house there’s a tiny house and at the top of the steps tucked into the eaves of the second floor is the CUTEST SWEETEST cottage decorated with wonderful, amazing layers of pattern and color.

I opened the door and gasped when I saw it.

It was as if someone had decorated it just for me.

I took a zillion pictures to show all of you.

Are you ready for a tour?

Let’s GO.

A pastel pink double wall sconce with vintage-style candle-shaped bulbs is mounted on a floral-patterned wallpaper featuring pink, green, and beige leaves on intertwining branches. The sconce has a glossy finish and elegant curves.

A bright bedroom has floral wallpaper with pink and green hues and a checkered pink ceiling. There is a black metal bed frame with a white bedspread and green throw pillows. A white chair and desk sit by the window. The floor has a light-colored floral rug.

Before we get started….

….I want to try something a little different today.

I am a TALKER.

A chatterer.

A professional word-hander-outer.

Whether you are behind me in line at Walmart or walking on the sidewalk in front of my house…

….I never met a conversation I didn’t like.

But what if today I didn’t talk. I didn’t chat.

Instead? What if I went wordless on the tour.

As in without words.

S.I.L.E.N.T.

You know just beautiful pictures and more pictures and a few more pictures…..

…..with way less words.

A ceramic pitcher with a pink ombre design and green leaf accents sits on a weathered yellow and white wooden table. The background features a colorful, leafy patterned wallpaper.

A bed is adorned with a white quilt, green and blue patterned throw pillows, and is positioned against a floral wallpaper featuring red, green, and pink leaves. A partial view of an abstract floral painting is visible on the left side of the image.

I’m going to try to just show you the cottage with this amazing wallpaper and these layers and layers of colorful pillows and this pink checkered ceiling and let the pictures talk for themselves.

I think that’s how they do it in magazines sometimes.

I’ll try really hard.

But I’m not making any promises.

A pastel pink kitchen has open shelves displaying various items like jars, cups, and decor. There's a white farmhouse sink, a microwave, and a pink chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The walls are light gray, and a window brings in natural light.

A red chandelier with five candle-style lights hangs from the ceiling of a kitchen. The background features a tiled wall, a window, and shelves holding white jars labeled with "COOKIES," "SUGAR," and "FLOUR.

Oh and one more word before I start the whole wordless thing.

If you follow Sarah from Simply Southern Cottage on her blog or on Instagram?

You’ll probably recognize the house.

She has tons of Air Bnb’s that she’s renovated and this one is lovingly referred to as the Barbie house. She is such an inspiration and completely overhauls these properties and decorates them with joy and celebration.

Truly.

You can see all her rentals here.

A close-up of a chrome shower faucet with three handles labeled "HOT," "COLD," and "SHOWER." The background features cream-colored subway tiles.

A modern bathroom features an arched glass shower with black trim and a chrome shower head, a white toilet with a towel on a black rack, and patterned black-and-white floor tiles. A black shelf with toiletries and a pink vanity sink add accents.

A modern bathroom features a white vessel sink with a chrome faucet on a black countertop atop a light pink vanity with a black handle. Above the sink is a round mirror. On the left is a towel ring holding a white and black towel, with folded white towels and toiletries below.

Just look at this color combination in the bathroom.

Black and pink.

WHAT?

That faucet in the shower was NEXT LEVEL and I loved the pattern on the floor so much.

The amenities were incredible (the body wash smelled so good) and the towels were so soft and fluffy.

A bright, colorful kitchen features pink lower cabinets and shelves with white countertops. The shelves hold decorative jars, red plates, and various items. A white sink, microwave, coffee maker, and a red chandelier complete the look.

 

A kitchen scene featuring pink shelves displaying red and white checkered bowls, a red-checked recipe book, a green sign reading "GIMME SOME SUGAR," and a potted plant. The background includes white tiled walls and patterned wallpaper with pink leaves.

Oops.

I just remembered.

I wasn’t supposed to be talking about this kitchen or this backsplash or these gingham bowls that I ate my cereal in or this vintage cookbook or the microwave that looks like it stepped out of an episode of The Donna Reed Show.

Okay.

I’m serious now. I have so many pictures to share (there were so many of the cutest things to photograph) and I need to try and share all the pictures with you before Christmas.

So from now on it’s only pictures—zipping my mouth right now.

Wordless tour…..

……GO.

WHEW.

I made it.

I DID IT (holding my breath and telling my hands not to type the entire time).

I hope the tour inspired you.

I hope you picked up a few ideas for your own home (especially for decorating with vintage finds).

But just between us?

I think this might be my last wordless post.

Sigh.

I don’t think I can ever be a non-talker even when I try. I just can’t help it. Life is short and…

….I have WAY too much to say.
