Welcome! This blog is part of the annual "International Fake Journal Month" contest which runs during April each year. For April 2011 I took on the identity of a fictional character, Miss Lili Ann Percy, in my daily journaling and posted pages from her journal in this blog. Lili is a 36 year old Manhattanite and professional furniture designer who chucked it all to move to a small island off the coast of Florida. To enlarge pictures simply click on them. Please enjoy Lili's ponderings.......

JOURNAL ENTRY # 5

COTTAGE--NOUN:  A SMALL SIMPLE HOUSE, TYPICALLY ONE NEAR A LAKE OR BEACH

----------

"My Digs".  I love this place already, love coming home to it.  The vibes here are just perfect.  I knew it the moment I walked in the door.

I definitely decided I have to decorate in true cottage style. But which cottage look?  Should I go the route of shabby chic, flea market or beach house?  Maybe I'll use a combination of all of them.  Tyrone would just die if he knew.  Him with his, "Remember Lili, long, sleek, lean lines and sharp corners"!  But, he was the boss and, other than designing for a Hamptons home now and then, ultra modern is what sells in Manhattan.  I'm so glad to get away from there, but sure do miss Tyrone.  If ever there was a design mentor and a good friend it is him.  And, he sure does know how to have fun.

But, now I want soft, cozy and comfy for my own space.  And, best of all I only have to please Moi!
