This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the sweet and charming Connecticut home of Susan Borgen.
Susan runs The T-Cozy, an inspiring blog focused on home decor, running a small business and vintage treasures. She also runs a successful Etsy shop, tparty, where she sells cottage chic vintage and handmade treasures such as aprons, tea trays, table linens and button bouquets.
Susan's home features a lovely mix of handmade and vintage furniture and accessories that give her house near the coast a comforting cottage feel. Susan is an avid thrifter and flea market shopper, which is reflected in her home's decor. Each room is lovingly decorated with antiques and vintage treasures that stir up memories from the past. She says she hopes to bring you back to that "time spent at your grandmother's house, or discovering the peace and serenity that brewing a hot cup of tea shared with a dear friend can offer."
Visit Susan on flickr to view more photos of her charming home. Check out the Etsy Finds below for creative decorating ideas to add a bit of that rustic cottage charm to the place you call home.
