Today is the first day of summer and I don�t see a better way to show you how excited I am besides sharing this cottage with you. When I first saw it, I felt my chin dropping and dropping and at the end of it I was wishing I was in this place. All I could say was: �I want it�! I�m not kidding. I want this cottage! I love every room, all the light and breeze feeling, all the simple furnishings, and the lifestyle.
Summer should be about this: simplicity, freshness and lightness. No stress should be allowed on a sunny summer day. Only a comfy chair, a good book, the kids running on the grassy yard, the husband preparing a light meal on the BBQ (how about some shrimp kabobs?), and for desert? Bring me some juicy and sweet watermelon.
Until then, let�s dream with this cottage�
Porch
I love those swing-chairs on this porch. I could have some ice cream there!
Shells & Stars
Expect everything to be white & light in this cottage. More summery than this? Impossible.
Craft & Work
I love that small office/craft room by the living room. The white lanterns are gorgeous.
Opening your Heart
Let the breeze in!
No Fuss
This kitchen is so perfect for a cottage. The floors are so easy to clean, it�s spacious and with a range like that, you can cook for a bunch of people. Isn�t a cottage all about that? Having the whole family together, eating delicious food and just taking it easy?
Yummy in my Tummy
You�ll see so many cute little touches around this cottage. Notice the hearts on the bag and container. Love is in the details.
More Love
I love this picture! Isn�t it sweet?
Table & Beams
Mostly of the wood in this house is very light and it looks great with all the white furniture.
Staircase
I always like seeing family photos framed by the stairs. I think they always make the place feel more personal and interesting. Back & white is usually the best option.
