Greetings! I hope you enjoyed this summer as much as we did. We wandered from the Atlantic to the Pacific--particularly loving the spectacular drive along the coast from Seattle to San Francisco. Then we pivoted and popped a jet plane over to England for our neice's wedding in Bristol on the last day of August. We managed to add in a bang up tour of Oxford and treated ourselves to a couple of spa days in Bath before we sallied back to home, and work. I'll try to get the highlights on the blog--both trips were amazing.

But enough fun and games; it is time to get serious about your house. Take a long hard look at that worn rug, the dog hair on the sofa, the c r a p all over the dining room table, then take a deep breath and get going. Toss the clutter, toss anything broken and beyond repair, donate that stuff your mother-in-law foisted on you and zip into British Cottage.

Maybe you need new sofa or dining room table don't fret. We have plenty of stock--in stock! See for yourself what the interior design wizards from North Carolina have wrought, along with yours truly's unique mix of antique and rustic chic. And besides great furniture we offer a curated selection of artwork: prints, photography and paintings for a quick (and affordable) refresh. Or maybe you just need some blue and white ginger jars for the mantle, a new bedside lamp or a couple of toss pillows--we've got that covered too.

Of course, if you do need a new sofa or dining room table don't fret. We have plenty of stock--in stock! See for yourself what the interior design wizards from North Carolina have wrought, along with yours truly's unique mix of antique and rustic chic.

Questions? Design dilemmas? That's what we are here for. Let's face it, you can only get so much design inspiration from a web site or Pinterest--and it's always better to see (and sit on) furniture in person. Not sure where to park? There are no restrictions on the street but if you'd rather not deal with the traffic we have a few parking spaces behind the store and we promise if you can get in we can get you out!

For even more design inspiration take a peek at our British Cottage Blog. Whether exploring the ins and outs of sofa buying or peeking into possibly your neighbor's home, we offer design tips and glimpses into the real houses of New Jersey--even recipes.

While our background was not originally in interior design we have been in this business long enough to know what should go where. When you are here we will be happy to take the time to help you figure out exactly what your home requires and do our best to make it happen. The more information you come in with--the easier it will be. Measure, measure, and then measure your space again. We're happy to see photos so shoot us an email: bcapine@gmail.com (it is easier for us to see your images on the desktop).

Call, 732 530 0685, if you have any questions. We can provide local delivery of any item, whether it be a lamp or a sofa and if you live out of the area we will ship via whatever method it takes.

Cheers,

Tricia and Keith
