I have a friend who lives in a 3,000 sq. ft. house and she never enters most of the rooms. She is a successful watercolor and collage artist, but has never created a studio for herself in the big house because she doesn't want to have a mess out. <br /><br />Your cottage will be well loved and lived in.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-3197570169424839932014-07-28T09:23:03.559-07:002014-07-28T09:23:03.559-07:00Thank you so much, Laurel.

The galley kitchen, the exterior bathroom door, the bedroom study...all details and design elements you expect to find in a true old fashioned cottage. I think that it's those little surprise elements that makes cottage living so intriguing. Our first cottage was 950 square feet, but it was laid out so well, it lived really large.
