And then this morning I read your post showcasing the most delightful barn house you could imagine! Thanks Nancy - such great inspiration that I always get from your blog posts. Bonnie is a very talented seamstress with a knack for making a small space beautiful and efficient. Love, love, loved it all!

I love that she scoured garage sales for decorating. And who wouldn't love living next to a vineyard? My favorite spot would be that arbor. I can imagine laying in one of those hammocks and just enjoying God's creation. :) <br />Thanks Nancy for finding all these lovely cottages for us to enjoy. I am going now to check out Bonnie's website.<br /><br />DebbieDaytona Damselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973995351685168211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-39125799384960251752015-01-04T03:31:41.785-08:002015-01-04T03:31:41.785-08:00WOW.

I am going to enjoy every minute of today,as it is my last one on this glorious vacation. School resumes tomorrow!<br /><br />This was such a delight. This area looks just like Southwestern France, a region very close to my heart. But the cottage....OK, let's chat.<br /><br />Your features are so rich in imagination and HOPE for people who are either on a budget, have a small home to begin with, or who really want to see what they can do with less. This has to be one of my favorite of your shares, because this house is REALLY SMALL, yet the strategic and artistic operations to doll up this house are impressive. The light in the whole place, it makes this look much bigger than it is, the incredible deals (50 cent vintage chairs? SCORE!) and that VIEW????? That is worth the "compromise" of settling in a smaller home.<br /><br />Bonnie's photos are magazine-worthy. Your idea to elevate and feature smaller homes is brilliant. For years I've been dreaming of getting our story of our house into a well-known magazine, and though I've been very fortunate to be published three times already in 2014, my house in its entirety has not been featured. ONE DAY!<br /><br />Bravo for another uplifting tale about how a small house can become someone's castle. Now off to visit Bonnie!

Organization is a smart thing Bonnie does here, she has spaces for all of her creative endeavors but nothing looks crowded or cluttered. And the view, the wisteria.
