Description: Tips for decorating your home with a rose cottage look.
If you dream of a little rose-covered cottage, you can create it for yourself. Here are 7 Tips to help get you on your way to your “rosy dream!”
1. What’s in a Name. “Name” your cottage using a rose-motif name like “Rose Arbor Cottage” or “Red Rose Cottage” and buy or paint a sign with that name to hang by your front door.
2. Arbor Harbor. Place an arbor at the end of the sidewalk that leads to your front door and plant climbing rose bushes in your favorite color on either side.
3. Clever Climbing. Plant a climbing rose bush on the side of your fence to add color and charm.
4. Welcome Mat. Place a rose-motif welcome mat on your front step.
5. Perfect Picket. Rose bushes that drape over your front picket fence provide a colorful welcome.
6. Charming Chair. Set a rosebush planted in a colorful pot on the seat of a pretty wrought iron chair in your front yard for unique curb appeal.
7. Window Wonder. Window boxes brimming with roses and ivy will add unbeatable cottage charm to the front of your home.
If you look around your front yard, you’ll now be able to come up with other ideas to create your very own rosy cottage curb appeal!
