Welcome!
Cottage Illustrated is produced in a little town in Ohio. My name is Ann, and I'm the editor and writer. This blog is essentially a place for me to store all my home and garden ideas.
I grew up in an 1850s house filled with hardwood floors, antique quilts, and love. Few things please me more than brewing herbal tea while gazing upon a tranquil view out a pretty window.
As much as I wish I could live within the pages of Anne of Green Gables, I'm also a realist. I'll try to offer practical tips for cottage living, and I hope you'll giggle with me as I point out some of the mishaps to be found in trying to adopt the cottagecore aesthetic.
