Capturing Cottage Style

I have tried to capture cottage style in my house for a long time. But; having been raised with a family of antique lovers, refinishing furniture was the method of choice not painting.  Here my dining chair sits with my first can of chalk paint and I am going to take the leap.  I am going to paint the chairs to try to get more of a cottage look in that room.

Forty minutes later, I am blown away!  This is cottage.  I like these chairs so much better than I did with that oak finish.  I'm still thinking about the seats.  I may just slipcover a little flirty seat cover.   What do you think?  Is it cottage?
