8. 0:40that regular Cottage core Embraces Fresh Life the  blooming of new life and the sustainment of peak
9. 0:46existence the origins lie in a Romanticism of  Old World English farm homes though vintage the
10. 0:53style is cozy and welcoming there's a communal  feel and you get the sixth sense that a neighbor
11. 0:58could stop by at any moment asking if they could  borrow some sugar dark Cottage core is similar in
12. 1:05that it utilizes normal Cottage core Aesthetics it  also holds the same deep respect for mother nature
13. 1:11and sustaining yourself off the grid but it views  all of this through a more murky and mysterious
14. 1:18lens it is a contrasting interpretation of its  counterpart with the perception that old world
15. 1:24living was not always sunshine and rainbows that  it was harsh that environments were not always
16. 1:30favorable and that survivability depended on the  small pockets of light in a dimly lit world so if
17. 1:37you're feeling adventurous and inspired by the  darker and colder months let's talk about ways
18. 1:41that you can create this look we'll begin with  the palette of colors we're aiming for darker
19. 1:47and bled color tones with pops of Rich color  our Rich color will most abundantly come from
20. 1:52the outside life that we bring into our home  meaning plants and Foods we may display for
21. 1:58the most part everything else will have a dark  and dampen tone think faded Browns and beiges
22. 2:03dim Reds and purples rusted oranges worn greens  and whites and of course Shades of Black you may
23. 2:10now be thinking to yourself I'd like to create the  atmosphere that you're showing us in these photos
24. 2:14but if I were to try to convert my place into  looking like these photos that you're showing
25. 2:19us it would require a full overhaul and for most  of you I'd say that's probably correct and if you
26. 2:26have the means and the time to do so go for it but  if you don't or you don't feel like committing to
27. 2:31a full overhaul I still have some suggestions for  you switch out brightly colored photos and art
28. 2:37pieces to resemble those of times past photos that  would be black and white and artistic renderings
29. 2:43that look like they may have been completed  with black ink on rudimentary mediums instead
30. 2:47of having blooming spring-like flowers and plants  incorporate withered flowers and bouquets of dried
31. 2:53branches the Deep greens you will have will be  that of bushes and trees which are designed to
32. 2:58live through the harsh Winters like Evergreens  remember that this style revolves around
33. 3:03reminiscences of past centuries where some of the  luxuries we have today didn't exist use candles
34. 3:10and lanterns in the evening to light your home  as opposed to the traditional electric ceiling
35. 3:14lights whether you have a fireplace or not having  chopped wood stacked somewhere is a nice touch
36. 3:20try switching out the perfectly smooth glass white  dishware and mugs for materials like copper tin
37. 3:26and aluminum if you're a person who displays your  cookware pack away the modern Teflon coated pans
38. 3:32and bring out the cast irons along with the  worn metal pots that show their age wooden
39. 3:38and metal trays can be used as the base of table  centerpieces winter and Forest bird feathers laid
40. 3:44across mantles or placed in jars can be a nice  addition during the darker Seasons forging and
41. 3:50Gathering would have been commonplace among those  that live deep in the woods feel free to bring raw
42. 3:55chestnuts walnuts and the likes thereof in your  home pile them in a dish or add them to a jar
43. 4:01as I mentioned before the rich color would mainly  come from life outside fall and winter vegetables
44. 4:07can certainly be brought in and displayed my  personal opinion is that those of red and orange
45. 4:12Hues look best in this style animal skulls are  something you would incorporate to fully pull
46. 4:18together the design scheme you can of course get  fake ones off Amazon or Home Goods or wherever
47. 4:24you'd like to shop at layers of hides and plush  throws would absolutely be appropriate to toss
48. 4:30over the couch and bed this list is to help you  get the wheels turning and generate some ideas
