There is one plant that is really nostalgic to our marriage. Nope, it’s not our wedding flowers, its a plant that grew bountifully where we lived in the south. Cotton. Every fall when the cotton would bloom Jose and I would take long drives by the cotton fields which resembled snow covered pieces of land. Cotton fields are in the top 10 things I miss about living in the south since moving back to Michigan. Now every time I see something with cotton it brings back so many great memories & some of the things I even have to get for our home like a few cotton stems & these framed vintage cotton prints that I’ve had shoved in a closet for over a year that I finally found a spot for in our dining room….

I picked these cotton prints up at our shop, The Found Cottage, even before I had a place for them. Apparently it took me over a year to find a place, but I think this little corner in our dining room seems like a great place to hang them. I’ve wanted to bring in more black accents into our home & I think this is a great place to start in this room with the rustic black frames. Before I hung these prints this weekend I kind of tore apart this whole corner & simplified it… there was so much on top of that cabinet, but I kind of wanted it to be more simple and relaxed looking so here we are…

Here is a photo that my friend Rachael took of Jose & I one time in the middle of a cotton field in NewBern North Carolina when we lived there… I’m so thankful that we have this memory captured of a special moment in one of our favorite places…

I think these photos go well in our 1800’s farmhouse & go perfectly with our cozy cottage farmhouse vibe that we have in here. These prints make me so happy every time I walk by them now & bring back such great memories. What do you guys think of them? Have you ever seen a cotton field in real life before? I wish we could grow it here in Michigan because I would make a mini cotton field on our farm in a heart beat! I’m excited to add more black accents to our decor & I like the way these framed cotton prints added that dark vintage vibe to this space.
