Cottage (not) By The Sea




This is my little house. I love my house. It is a two bedroom cottage/bungalow. I have very close neighbors, but my house sits up on a hill.
If I close my eyes, I can almost imagine it is by the sea. I can hear the waves crashing on the shore. Since there are lots of trees across from me. Sometimes in my mind, it is my little cottage in the woods. Maybe Goldilocks will stop by for a visit.
Last summer, I went on vacation to Tybee Island, Ga. Some friends and I rented a house. We didn't stay in a cottage but the company has many. I love to read about all the fun cottages that they own and are constantly redecorating and remodeling.

You can too at http://www.mermaidcottages.com/. I have learned about a designer of cottages Jane Coslick(http://janecoslick.com/) and more recently The Lettered Cottage,http://www.theletteredcottage.net/. What inspiration!!
They are often decorating cottages which is so much fun. I dream of someday decorating another cottage maybe by the sea or just in Ohio.
