I'm sure I'll learn a lot. I believe there's always more to a place than meets the proverbial eye. Especially, vacation spots tend to show us the romantic side of life, when in actuality there is a whole other world to take into consideration. Again, thank you.

It is the truest depiction of the place I have ever seen. It is a beautiful place but has issues. There is also a film called ‘Bait’, both confront the wide differences to the actual locals that live and breathe the place and the holiday home epidemic. Cornwall is viewed as an idyllic place to live but the reality for most is very different. Take the time to scratch the surface and learn about the people who are Cornish born and bred, you’ll find a pretty hardy people that struggles but has a very strong sense of identity and community.Me and the Dude (deceased)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06456322832540341534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-86048708868138452702017-02-14T15:12:44.423-08:002017-02-14T15:12:44.423-08:00Hi Jeanette!

I love the white Scandinavian look but have not done that in our house as I don't like having lots of pure white in our busy household. I also love natural tones and so that is what I went for in our house but I still enjoy looking at the Scandinavian styled homes.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-79767712911430671702017-02-12T03:46:49.215-08:002017-02-12T03:46:49.215-08:00I do love this cottage very much, especially the v...I do love this cottage very much, especially the view.

So many accessories that look collected over the years. The owner/decorator must be very talented. I love the unfitted kitchen! I always thought it would be so nice to not have kitchen cabinets and counters but to have different pieces of furniture to use instead. It might not have good resale value but wouldn't it be lovely?Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-13576684648569674712017-02-06T11:09:41.224-08:002017-02-06T11:09:41.224-08:00You always share the most charming and cozy homes,...You always share the most charming and cozy homes, thank you darling Nancy !<br /><br />Hope your week is off to a good start,<br />I'm sending hugs and more hugs to you<br /><br />XX DanyDanielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759677667896507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-50752283076278303282017-02-06T09:23:14.813-08:002017-02-06T09:23:14.813-08:00I agree.

Absolutely beautiful. A couple of other things that I noticed was the gate in the garden, either there was wire fencing that wasn't visible or the charming gate stood alone . . . it was enchanting. Then the UK appliances in the kitchen . . . well I love their kitchens, especially their stoves or "cookers" as they call them. They just look so well made and stylish.
