It’s completed (properly, the principle development is completed, however extra will nonetheless be labored on exterior). My dad and mom are actually residing within the Tiny Cottage (SO EXCITING!), however earlier than they acquired in and settled I snapped just a few fast pics so you might see how lovely it’s even empty! To not fear, although, in case you love this tiny cottage as a lot as I do, my mother will let me share it many times, so this received’t be the final you’ll see of it. 🙂
For those who’re new right here, this Tiny Cottage is definitely part of our residence, you possibly can enter it by way of our mudroom or storage. Nevertheless, it’s a self-sufficient residence! It’s actually a Tiny Cottage at about 450 sq. toes but it surely has its personal exterior entry, DARLING kitchenette, toilet/laundry, mattress nook, sitting space, outside deck and backyard.
Did I point out it’s CUTE AS A BUTTON? However you possibly can see that for your self!
The Tiny Cottage was designed as a spot for my dad and mom to reside in full time however it’s also a part of the principle residence. Better of all worlds! It is also a helpful house that might serve household in numerous methods for years to come back. We wish to say we reside in our trip residence. That is our one and solely residence but it surely’s inside strolling distance of the seaside so it actually appears like you might be on trip every single day.
The sitting space of the Tiny Cottage with its peaked ceiling, chandelier, white planked partitions and charming blue fire is so inviting, it’ll be wonderful to get pleasure from it in each season. The sunshine is fantastic in right here and I really like the view of the timber exterior– and within the winter when it snows (which is normally just for every week or so) the view by way of these home windows can be equally as unbelievable! Quickly there can be crops and furnishings exterior, too.
One other enjoyable characteristic on this sitting room is that this in-built cupboard, designed by my dad and mom particularly as a complement to the kitchen for storage, a espresso station for his or her espresso machine and a spot for his or her toaster oven. It has a tiled top. And their Frame TV goes on the wall above it. Small house PERFECTION!
A captivating kitchenette is tucked away and such a pleasant shock to stroll into it! It’s mild and brilliant with home windows overlooking the Tiny Backyard and window bins. I really like the entire cottage-y parts my mother selected — from the vintage-inspired home equipment, to the tile to the blue cupboards to the copper {hardware} to the enjoyable show cabinets, deep windowsills and plant nooks! I can’t wait to see how she decorates in right here.
I really like the lavatory / laundry room — it has the smartest washer/dryer combo (small house dream!) and useful storage, too.
Enjoyable truth, this subway tile is definitely the identical tile we had in our previous grey and white kitchen! We had some left over and so they purchased extra to complete it off. (Ours was referred to as Arctic White #0190 however there’s an analogous colour here)
The medicine cabinet has lights and mirrors in and out, plus a elaborate defogging characteristic! The ceiling has an exhaust fan with a heat light so it’ll be hotter in right here within the chilly months.
She swapped out the self-importance knobs for these white ceramic knobs, it’s tremendous cute! (The opposite photographs on this put up had been taken earlier than the knob change!)
The mattress nook was a bit tough to design throughout the accessible house, however with cautious planning by my dad and mom, they’ve a snug spot for sleeping and free standing cupboards that can be added. SO CUTE!
Hope you loved a peek on the Tiny Cottage! I’ll share extra as soon as they get settled in.
