Deliciously girlie, fresh and bright, cottage chic is a bona fide modern classic. I am ever-enchanted by the soft fabrics, crisp whites and rosy romance that are signatures of this cozy style. Since cottage chic is influenced by recycled fabric and furniture, nothing could say "Etsy" more than this aesthetic! Thanks to these affordable selections, you can live the dream and get started on giving your home a whimsical summer face-lift. Be sure to search Etsy for cottage chic and shabby chic for more great finds for your home, garden and wardrobe.

It's all so fresh and light!
Sometimes cottage can look fake and overdone, but it's easy to see how beautiful it can be with selections like these.

love the oregano wreath - oregano always makes me laugh, I hear rachel and monica pronouncing it in friends (you remember the episode, when they're dong bad boyfriend spells?) us Brits don't say it anything like you Americans.
whimsybreeze
Wow...I love the cool art piece with the girl and the cage.
Check out my little cell phone cases and book cover.
I think they contain the same kind of cottage charm:)
PenelopeAndAnastasia

laralewis

alexkeller
i'd like to put the blue chandelier, the scalloped mirror and the yellowish candleabra - all in one room
asundrynotion
Overall nice picks except for the non-handmade items featured that are not at all handmade but new or non-vintage factory made. Why does Etsy continue to feature items that absolutely are not Handmade or Vintage in this posts? Many Etsy members are most disappointed with this practice. It hurts legitimate sellers and sets a really bad precedent.
stuffbykate
that blue chandelier has been on my wish list for months! good stuff.
mustlovehomedecor
I would like to encourage you to visit my shop for home decor. Here is a gorgeous item for example http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...

Did you say girly. Foofoogal loves girly stuff of course and has tons of vintage girly.
Gorgeous.
moonovermaize

SMIRNOFFdesignSTUDIO
bEAUTIFULL cOLLECTION!The blue chandelier and summers bounty pilow is my favorites :)
TipsyTimeMachine
So pretty! Years ago, I filled an old small birdcage with eggs that I had blown out so that they were empty. The print of the girl and the birdcage has got to be my favourite, and those chandeliers are gorgeous.
We have some lacey folding trays which would fit in perfectly.

Like the shabby chic rose jar by romanticPINK.
My cottage needs a little extra cozy-ness, but with 2 little boys tearing around, that isn't always feasible! Thanks for the inspiration.

I was wondering why my oregano wreaths are selling like hotcakes, thanks for featuring it!

The blue chandelier is gorgeous. Vintage and recycled offer so much more character. I have refrigerator ware in my shop, another vintage item that makes even margarine taste like butter.

I love the cottage style!! as you can see from my shop. These are all great!
kennafoster
Imagining myself surrounded by such cozy beauty just brings a little "ahhhhh." I envision myself in a quiet cottage, with zuppaartista's rose on the wall, drinking tea from studiotto's lovely cups, and reading a good book. Wonderful article, so many beautiful selections.
mireillemanuel
oooh i just looove this style i might get a cottage some day...
heartbreakjewelry
These finds are so refreshing! It's like a cool breeze through flowery ruffled curtains. Once again, my coffee breaks just became a lot more relaxing. Thanks for the beautiful mix of items.
