Welcome to the sixty-first post in the series
"Living Large in Small Spaces".
I confess that I really love discovering cottages in other parts of the world to share with you. It's not always easy to find one with interior photos, so when I came across this one in Poland I nearly jumped through my computer screen. (Okay, not really. But I did feel a little giddy.)
The charmometer jumped way up on this one. Look at those stained glass windows and the scallop molding. Plank walls and ceiling -- yes, please.

From what I could gather about this cottage, it is a weekend and holiday getaway for the owners and their children. It was in pretty rough shape when they found it and they have been slowly restoring it.
The banner over the sofa reads "Gość w dom - Bóg w dom"
English translation: Guest coming into house - God coming into house. A guest is a blessing for the household.
Though color is used sparingly in the decor, its impact against the neutral backdrop is generous.
Dark woods contrast beautifully against the white.
This cottage has a comfortable, collected look that I love.
Blue and white with touches of yellow is a classic combination. Timeless.
Enchanting touches everywhere.
The outdoor living is just as charming.

Could this be my new favorite small space living large? It's at least in my Top 10. How about you?

ReplyDeleteZielona chatka...I'm guessing green is zielona? If so, it's very close to the Russian word for green.

What a great cottage. My favorite colors for decorating, blue white and a touch of yellow.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Adorable breakfast room! Cute kitchen and all of it!
ReplyDeleteI could be very happy there! It's absolutely charming.
ReplyDeletewhat a whimsical dwelling.. love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a peaceful and delightful place!
ReplyDeleteANOTHER darling goodie to open up to on this Sunday morning dearest Nancy! OK, you have me in a pickle here; first that adorable Spanish cottage, then the French one, now THIS ONE! I love our American decorating sensibilities but when we get a chance to see how the other half of the globe approaches cottage living, there is SO much to learn and appreciate. The fact that color is kept to a minimum in order for what does exist can make a full impact is a smart step in the right direction for comfort and ease in maintaining. Secondly, this type of arrangement lends a very peaceful, non-cluttered feel. I SO LOVE that first quote about the guests that step into the home are GOD. WOW. Lovely way to live and entertain, no matter how grand or small a home may be.
ReplyDeleteWell, mark this one down as a winner in my book! Much love Nancy, and have fun as we lead up to the holidays! Anita
Very pretty! I really like this one! Happy Sunday Nancy!
ReplyDeleteTop Ten for sure. Love this space.
ReplyDeleteThis is charming for sure, Nancy. I am such a sucker for those wood beams...I would love to live in a house that had those! The table in the yard would be the perfect spot for cozy dinners, wine with a girlfriend, journaling.....it's dreamy!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, charming, quaint! All those words and more. I want it for my next home!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet little place with lots of big charm! You always share the cutest places! Blessings, Cindy
