Happy Cottagestyle Thanksgiving Table.

We can't help it, but we just love setting a special table. Thanksgiving is one of the best times of the whole year, to go all out and set an amazing table! This season, we have been just obsessed with selection for setting the most amazing tables. 

Here's how we will be setting the Cottagestyle Thanksgiving Table this season. 



Starting the setting with a fun festive tablecloth. We thought this one was a perfect Cottagestyle Thanksgiving start.

We wanted to bring out the burnt orange and chose our hemstitch linen napkins.

Nothing sets a table more beautifully then Juliska and we went with the fun cocoa brown for this year.

These laundered linen tea towels add a fun touch to your bread baskets. And again, we are LOVING the burnt orange!

Our fabulous french water glasses. 

Almost every table must have a Blenko water bottle. We have been in love with these for years and years
and thought the amber was perfect for this tablesetting!

All our serveware is white on this table. And so much is the Berry & Thread Juliska white!

We went with the grey cocktail glasses to keep a great fall feel.

Paper Love.





Truly, who dosen't absolutely love getting a handwritten note in the mail? We think that you should always send a sweet sentiment or a snarky laugh to those you love and care about. Of course, you should always remember certain occassions; birthdays, etc. But, what is better then a just because you were on my mind card.. Not much!

We just adore our friends from Farewell Paperie. They are Letterpress rockstars; not to mention, super clever ladies who always give us a good chuckle or a sweet feeling when we put out a new box full of cards. I mean, 'Awesome Sauce,' 'You Made  A Baby,' 'Miss You Mucho' are simply Paper Love.
We have been carrying their line for years and always enjoy it!

We have some really awesome ones for you to stock up on and have on hand to send to all those who should get a card from you!

A Little Different.

One of the most fun things we get to do a Urban Cottage, Inc. is come up with things that are just a little different. We are constantly twisting the usual purpose of something in to something else!

Since we manufacture a great deal of our wooden furniture ourselves, we can do so many things. We can create a piece for you from a photo, a sketch or just an idea. We can help you turn your idea into exactly what you are wanting.

We wanted to have something a little different for a coffee table with our new fun sofa! So, we took two of the long barnwood benches we make and stuck them side by side. Not only do you now have the perfect size coffee table, you also have additional seating when you want it. Just seperate the benches and move them where you want. It's a fun idea and not something you see in every home.

Dress Up Your Walls.




One of the best parts of making your house your home is dressing up your walls. What you put on your walls is an expression of who you are. We really love seeking out fabulous pieces to offer in the shop for your walls. We have such a limited amount of wall space, but always try to make the pieces we offer super special!

This week, we just added some really wonderful new art by a Local Georgia Artist. She is from North of the city of Atlanta and is a self taught painter. Her name is Brooke Lowe and she is a young woman creating some really great pieces that you can now purchase at Urban Cottage, Inc. to dress up your walls! Her pieces are painted on wood and really make a statement. Come on by and check out our walls.
