Take a closer look at some of our favorite English Cottage features:
Through the Garden Gate
Leaving the bustle of London to pursue a quieter life, a woman who built her career in the city began a new season in the pastoral setting of her youth, where her heart could rest and a passion for color could blossom.
An English Country House, Reawakened
Although it has been in the Dean family since the 1940s, an elegant nineteenth-century Lincolnshire farmhouse—endowed with stately façade and classic interiors—recently underwent a comprehensive transformation.
A Magnificent Tudor Hall
Caroline and Russell McCleave, who have added a personal, decorative stamp to their own piece of Tudor England, offer a bit of advice for owners of old homes: “It is important not to be too awed by a house of this age. But it does deserve respect.”
Victorian Grandeur Rekindled
Coaxing classical symmetry and period charm out of a neglected Victorian mansion in southwest England might be too intimidating a task for many, but when these homeowners teamed up with a talented and intuitive designer, the outcome was a brilliant success.
Building a Family Legacy
London-born Katherina Saunders honors her ancestry and flair for good cuisine in the tasteful décor of her eighteenth-century Shropshire home, where family heirlooms are lovingly displayed alongside classic English antiques.
The English Cottage 2017 issue is available for purchase on newsstands and online.
This is one very special issue to me… English cottage style is my all-time favourite decorating and lifestyle theme. I am soooo excited about this issue as well as the upcoming September issue of Victoria which will also center around British style.
THANK YOU Victoria magazine for creating these lovely special Classics issues and especially those pertaining to English style!
I can’t wait to find my copy !
God bless !
