A little bit of country for the soul

We absolutely LOVED yesterdays post by Vicki of  'I Want That' blog. The reasons are endless but what really tickles us is how South African country cottages have such a distinct feel and how the details that create that feeling (natural woods, vintage pieces, knits, crochets) have rapidly formed their own trend.
Here are some inspiring snippets from her post....

Although this little piece of heaven needs nothing more, we have a few gems that would work perfectly in this kind of environment and now is as good a time as any to unveil them to the world.

Firstly... an old military kist that we up-cycled with a bit of glass, some legs from an old bed and a lick of paint.

The Trunk Table

Then... 

The Chesterfield Telephone Table

and for the kitchen......

The Little Retro Tumble Dryer

This little guy is perfect for a holiday cottage as it only takes up the tiniest bit of space

and...

The Vintage Scale

because its all in the details
