Cozy Cottages

These cottages are so cute and cozy...some with shutters, others with ivy weaving around the windows and pretty roses. I really love the white cottage with black shutters in the first picture. To me this is the ideal look for a cottage...a classic look for sure. Add a wrought iron fence around the property and you have one perfect setting.

Lake House

This incredible lake house from House Beautiful is the home of designer Thom Filicia. From the cool boat house on the water to the cozy kitchen this house feels just so easy and relaxed. Even with lots of cool layers and layers of accessories the view is really the star in this show and he makes the most of it. A low couch in the living room keeps the window wide open to better see the view and even the bed faces out toward the lake. So pretty with a mix of prints and colours throughout all on a base of creamy white.

Cottage in Cornwall

This beautiful house in Cornwall was designed by photographer Paul Massey. A longtime fashion, news and interiors photographer Paul has recently created some amazing homes himself. What I love the best in this house though is the kitchen design...oh this is really so great! The subway tile all the way to the ceiling looks fantastic, the great finish on the cupboards and the wooden countertop all add up to an inspiring space. The kitchen is open to the living room area which is decorated in a really simple and beautiful way with comfortable, stylish furniture. The whole house feels easy and cozy. Nothing fussy or precious just a really comfortable welcoming space.

Cottage Love

This cottage in Connecticut, filled with traditional American antique treasures, is kept light and fresh by using a consistent color palette throughout the home. Built in the 18th century, the homeowners have respected the history of this house yet gently transformed it for modern day living. I love it!

Cottage By the Sea

This beautiful cottage by the sea, called The Hope House, is so fresh and beautifully decorated. I can just imagine sitting by the fire listening to the ocean like we do from the pretty house we rent in Maine every summer. This house is in Cornwall England and was built in the 1800s and has been beautifully renovated while keeping all the charm of the past! Love it!
