You’re the sort of person who likes cuddling in a reading corner with your favorite book (that you’ve read 5 times already). You keep it simple. Your local art museum is your favorite getaway. You spend all of your time off staycationing in your adorable backyard oasis with a glass of Pinot Grigio.
If this sounds like you, we’re positive you’re going to love cottage chic. Cottage decor feels like home to you, and who could blame you? It’s classic and stylish!
