The Cottage Heart

Hello my name is Jules Parker, owner and designer at The Cottage Heart. After studying Interior Design with The National Design Academy, I wanted to put my creative side and love of handmade and vintage pieces in one place, so The Cottage Heart was born. From the first blooms of spring right through to the crisp wondrous days of winter, I love to j... ourney around the many vintage sales and shops that are abundant throughout the lovely county of Sussex, where I am based. Taking inspiration from the beautiful countryside that surrounds me, I find beautiful vintage treasures, heirlooms and keepsakes to add to the website and use in my designs. Upcycled and chalk painted furniture, beeswax and soy candles, hand sewn pieces, hangers and wreaths, cottage scents and handcrafted cottage gifts, are all available to purchase. The Cottage Heart was created for everyone that has a love for handmade cottage, shabby chic or vintage inspired designs, so that even if you do not wish to purchase items at this present time, hopefully you will find ideas to use in your home.Read More
