Welcome to Cosy & Quaint!
My name is Elaine and I'm so glad you stopped by.
Cosy and Quaint is a space where I share things I genuinely love: books, cosy spaces, and timeless pieces. From mid-range wardrobe staples to beautiful investment items, I focus on things worth owning for years.
These days, Cosy and Quaint is focussed on living beautifully with less —through classic style, quiet rituals and a slower rhythm at home.
In the books section, you'll find a small library of titles I've loved (or can't wait to read next) and in decor, ideas for making everyday corners calm, cosy and quaint! Thanks for visiting. I hope something here brings you quiet joy!
I've lived and traveled in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe. The items I curate are influenced by an eclectic mix of cultures and styles.
-The protea is South Africa's national flower, and it symbolizes transformation. It embodies supporting a lifestyle that enables you to become someone different, or a better version of yourself.
-The Delft Blue and wallpaper pattern nods to Holland’s ever-popular porcelain, nostalgia and timelessness.
- The fern represents eternal youth.
