About Me:
Courtney is the girl behind the curtain at the design and lifestyle blog French Country Cottage. She is a mom and interior stylist who is passionate about her family, beautiful interiors and DIY design. She invites her readers to step inside the romantic, shabby, French style & renovation of her 1940's cottage. Blending the rustic with the elegant~ she loves a crystal chandelier in every room, a weathered table set with flea market silver & vintage china and gilded chairs covered in burlap. Re-imagining forgotten treasures, tackling projects with her own set of power tools & decorating with flea market finds~ she believes that rooms don't have to cost a fortune to be beautiful, elegant and comfortable.
Favorite area of home improvement:
DIY remodeling rooms in my home and taking something forgotten and turning it into something fantastic.
