Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a fairytale?
Instagrammer and blogger Rebecca Lovatt of My English Country Cottage might lead a normal life, but she can certainly give you a taste of living in the picturesque countryside of Suffolk, England.
Her Instagram page is brimming with photos of her enchanting, 400-year-old cottage that she's spent the past eight years making her own.
"It's about my real family life living in a magical cottage," she says. So, if you're into character, charm, color and cozy interiors, you need to add Rebecca to your social media scroll.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Rebecca's successful Instagram page started when a personal injury led to a desperate need for mental stimulation. She began perusing Instagram, and it inspired her to post photos of her own cottage.
"I loved seeing so many beautiful homes; and, because my children were getting older, I wanted something I could do from home," she explains.
Now, not only does Rebecca enjoy rearranging and trying out new fabrics in her own space, she also gets to help friends decorate their homes and tour other cottages.
