|| CHRISTMAS | COTTAGE

Located in the Cotswolds England, multi award winning interior designer Bee Osborn's thatched cottage is a picture perfect winter home. With an exterior to rival Kate Winslet's cottage in the film The Holiday, the interior is a sublime combination of pale chalky linens, French antique furniture and contemporary country stying. Here are a few images from Bee's Instagram account, to view Bee Osborn's full portfolio and to contact her please click the link to her web site here: Studio Osborn

|| CHRISTMAS INSPIRATION | 2019

INSPIRATION: Abundant nature, lavish evergreens and foraged foliage, country traditions, manor house style, the country estate and ancestral home.     

KEY ELEMENTS: natural greenery and fresh flowers; berries, moss, pine cones, antlers, lanterns, candlelight, polished silver, urns, and topiary.
