Looking back through some of my favorite cottages...
1. COZY COTTAGE:
I. LOVE. this kitchen.
*and this room- great mix of functional, comfortable and classy.
TTN: you could do this with an unused closet space; take off the doors, put up some curtains, possibly a light fixture, and create a special nook.

SIMPLE COTTAGE:
See the ghost chair in the background..??… Or DO you?? :)
Love the mix of materials in this room- subtle but plenty of texture.
TTN: Again, it's very subtle in color but the mix of textures keeps it from falling flat- and keeping it fabulous!
-love seeing that antique iron bench at the end of the bed rather than the standard bench. Sure, it's not as functional but it looks awesome.

COZY COTTAGE:
Another one of my favorites.. Haskell Harris' (previous) home. She's the associate editor of Garden and Gun- so it doesn't surprise me that her style is impeccable. She has since moved from this adorable cottage (to Charleston!) but its' too good to pass up...
So cozy and classy.

Eclectic cottage:
Lee Kleinhelter, owner of the Atlanta store Pieces, has lived in (and designed) some fabulous homes over the years. I like this one in particular...
TTN: Apparently Lee agrees with me-! (see texture quote above)
TTN: Swing in the corner? Check.
