I made one of my rooms in my new house "The Cottage Room".   I have various collected pieces from
around the world, little vacations and little memories of my past pleasantries.

I had once little spot, right below a little victorian/Shabby Elegance white rose petal framed mirror that
needed a little something.  I searched high and low and finally it appeared, this little ottoman.  
Although seemingly a bit understated, it was the perfect pallet for me to place a little cottage cloth
on top to give the neutral cushion a little pop and on top of that I put a cute square ruffled pillow
with lovely pink and white little checkered pattern as well as little rosebuds along with white lace!
The combo makes it look priceless.  If I could bottle it, I would!

Pros: GREAT Vale for the $$$
Cons: None, just use a little imagination and make it personal.  It can easily happen!
