Residing in Tarzana, Ca, Nancy has been living in her sweet home for just a year and a half. And in this relatively short amount of time, she has completely transformed her home into a beautiful and very inviting cottage.

Nancy's style is a combination of Shabby Chic and French decor. Finding inspiration from books, magazines and store displays, she has one room that is all "French motif" decor. It displays her treasures from flea markets she's visited while in Paris. The other rooms in her home are decorated in the Shabby Chic style. "To me, says Nancy, it will never go out of style. It has a cozy feel and there will always be those items out there".

 Nancy enjoys using vintage family heirlooms all over her house. Old family photos, Grandma's vintage costume jewelry, hankies, and baby dresses her mom wore. As Nancy puts it "I am lucky to have these things and I like to display them". Everything from her Great Grandfather's coal bucket to her Great Grandmother's china, it's found a special place in Nancy's sweet cottage home. -JG
