As the summer months approach, it's time to be inspired by a few divine country and cottage retreats.  Lounging by the lake and sitting by the bonfire are some of my favorite elements of cottage living.  While some may consider the cottage to be a slightly more retro hideout, great cottage home decor is not hard to find!

  5 Great Cottage Decor Ideas

1. Display your old and useful favorites on shelves, instead of cupboards.

2. Use ladders for outdoor storage and decor.

3. Repurpose old cottage memorabilia.

4. Add accents reflective of your favorite cottage surroundings.

5. Upcycle antique furniture and place pieces in alternative spaces.

"This is one of my dads best DIYs! He wanted to make an evening retreat that reminded us of the cottage. He used pine siding to enclose the porch and stain glass that he got from my grandparents old cottage! After some new tiling, a paint job and some furnishings, it was perfect!" - Shauna

With Father's Day fast approaching, it's time for us showcase some male-oriented spaces.  Today we're showing you some of our favorite gender neutral bedrooms or bedrooms for him.  When decorating for him, it's important to think less about decorative frills, and more about minimalism and functionality.

Below are some steps to achieving the perfect bedroom for him! 

1. Incorporate darker woods and other natural elements.
