Cottage and Victorian, Can they live in harmony?

I am wanting to decorate my house with rose patterned dinnerware, and beautiful mahogany wood table, but I also love painted wainscotting, and big soft couches, lace, vintage floral, granny chic, doilies. Can they all work together? I also love embroidered things, and homemade stuff. And seasonal decorations. Can it work together? Can it be super casual but pretty at the same time?

Absolutely! It sounds just gorgeous. Not every Victorian person lived in a mansion. I like traditional furniture myself.
Antique Cherry in the living and dining room, more country casual in the kitchen and family rooms. The color scheme
blends my rooms together. (I have blue somewhere in every room; sometimes a little, sometimes a lot.) Go to the library for some books with cottage decorating schemes and/or checkout HGTV.com and Cottage Living magazine.
Good Luck!

At first glance, a home that follows the principles of Universal Design does not look any different from a traditional, well-crafted home. A connoisseur of the user-friendly Universal Design home appreciates its invisibility as much as its functionality. Subtle differences are its hallmark-with levers instead of knobs on doors, with wider hallways and doors, non-slip floors in the bathroom, roomier garages, elevators, and touch pads, Universal Design is a silent revolution in simplifying life. High-Access Home tours the top of the line homes that follow Universal Design, featuring both revamped old homes and newly-constructed ones as well.

What began as an endeavor to pass the time, developed into a cottage industry filling the days of many wives and mothers in The Bronx, NY. After the war, Murray joined his mother s business and expanded it to include portable lighting. The company moved to larger headquarters, and the business grew. Three generations have nurtured the company and it now stands as a leader with a reputation for impeccable craftsmanship, innovative design and honest value. In 2002 the company opened a five and one-half million cubic foot, state of the art distribution center. The company now occupies several square blocks on Rose Feiss Boulevard in The Bronx, renamed by the Mayor of New York in honor of the company s matriarch. With pride in the past and commitment to the future, Feiss has expanded its extensive, copyrighted line of products to include grand chandeliers, casual fixtures, vanity bath lights with coordinated bath hardware, outdoor lighting, lamps, torchieres, wall brackets, and decorative accessories.
