If lodge style feels more masculine, cottage style country décor leans towards the feminine. Shabby Chic, the design movement created by Rachel Ashwell, is known for its white cotton slip covers and pastel painted furniture mixed with French lines and accents. Cottage style is inspired by lakeside and beachside living. Casual, clean line furniture, classic materials like wainscoting and warm woods combine to make a homey interior. This kitchen’s palette of soft whites, rich woods and pale sky blue is a classic cottage interior. Earthenware bowls and wicker baskets add country style. - See more at: http://www.designshuffle.com/blog/style-guide/country-style/#sthash.5svTPirN.dpuf
