Hey everyone. Starting Monday the 15th we’re collaborating with 6 of our favourite bloggers to bring you the Coastal Cottage Challenge. Each blogger picks a room in the cottage to design and a day of the week to post about it. We’re bringing you seven completely different takes on the Coastal Cottage Style. I can’t wait to see what we all come up with. Follow along to learn great tips and tricks for pulling off this sea side look.

Here’s a look at our blogging schedule:
