collected and not cookie-cutter. However, you must have antique and vintage elements to usher in a sense of history, and in order for it to feel fresh, you need a keen sense of editing. Why do you think it speaks to people? I think it is a very comforting style. It is both elegant yet casual, and your ability to be a bit eclectic about mixing pieces is part of its charm. It is nostalgic and romantic but also aspirational. City dwellers have been decorating their country homes like this for ages in the U.S., France, and England. I think it speaks to people because it isn’t really a trend, it is an unveiling of how country estates look and feel to a broader audience, and that gives it validity. How does Town Country Coast embrace the trend? We have everything you would need and love, from vintage chintz cushions to Italian toile, to antique French Moustiers ceramic and hand-painted glassware. We even have everything your pet needs to match.
FAB FABRICS Looking for fabric to celebrate all that is Cottagecore? Sandy Costello, owner of Mac Fabrics in West Palm Beach, has myriad fabrics and trim options that fit the Cottagecore bill. “I find more interest in our fabrics from the smaller boutique companies rather than the larger highprofile companies who can be purchased on the internet and are overly visible,” says Costello. “Currently, my clients are asking for a green color palette, and lavenders are showing to be of interest. Linen, as well as linen prints, are still a popular selection.” (macfabrics.com)
