oh to be a cow in a flower field

To fit with this post:

I guess you can combine the aesthetics, in that way:

-Wear Barbour or tweed jackets and leather boots outside.

-If you can, do horse riding.

-Flowers? Sure. But favor roses, the most royal. Put them in the garden, in vases (fresh or in fabric), on wallpapers, on curtains, in bags (instead of lavender), as soap perfume.

-Use also butterflies as a pattern.

-Wear cotton, but with long skirts and dresses. Use pastel colors such as pink, light blue, and purple. Add frills, and embroil crowns on your aprons.

-Eat with clay dishes and monogrammed napkins at the same time.

-Put silk sheets and patchwork bedspread together  in your bed.

-Similarly, put a silk robe on your cotton and lace nightgown.

-Have a shabby chic decor. It means, vintage furniture, worn out look for the paint on it, pale colors (notably, white) for said paint, and chintz fabric.

-Take inspiration of 80’s Laura Ashley ’s home decors books. With items such as footstools, collector plates, display case, velvet armchairs, frilly curtains, vases, canopy beds…with flowered curtains, embroiled cushions,  rocking chairs, baskets and oil lamps.

-Have your breakfast in bed, with a wooden tray, with brioche, jam and tea.

-Use a vintage tea service (that you found on a thrift store).

-Put a dressing table in your bathroom (or room).
