Great Find! New {to me} Blog

Published by Megan on Fri, 03/02/2012 - 14:19 in

I came across the list for Best Home Design Blog nominations on Apartment Therapy and saw The Lettered Cottage listed. It had quite a few votes so I decided to check it out - and I'm glad I did!


Fireplace Inspiration

Published by Megan on Sat, 08/06/2011 - 13:02 in

While here at the cottage, we have mainly been relaxing and enjoying the down time. Part of that down time has been spent watching some TV shows we don't normally watch at home - including House Crashers on HGTV. This morning, there was an episode where they made over a loft space in a family home. The loft was GORGEOUS by the end of the show, and there was a phenomenal fire piece that Ben and I were totally lusting after. Unfortunately, I couldn't find photos of that space online yet as it was a new episode, so for now you're going to just have to trust me.


My Dream Mud Room

We are on a mini-vacation right now, but I wanted to share a quick post before I get back to the grind and finish up posts about our hard work in the basement of our home.


In Love...

I know my posting was a little sparse last week, but I think this post more than makes up for it. Especially since I've now written two versions of this post since my computer managed to eat the first one. I have the worst luck when it comes to writing longer posts on here....I think it must take me too long to finish them and my computer doesn't like how slow I am.


Designer: Tina Muller

Tina Muller is an award winning kitchen designer for Drury Designs and is based out of Chicago. I caught a glimpse of some of her designs and was pretty impressed, so I thought I'd share the images here.

Color Schemes & Favorite Designers

Published by Megan on Sat, 07/09/2011 - 23:15 in

The one thing I struggle with in our current home is the entirely open floor plan. Ironically, it's also one of the main reasons I was initially attracted to our home. I love the wide, open spaces and the fact that when you're in the kitchen you can still manage to have a conversation with someone in the dining room, living room, or entryway (as long as the kitchen faucet isn't running, that is). The reason I have such a hard time with the open floor plan now is that it is incredibly hard to tie color schemes in from room to room on a large scale.

Beach House

Ever since I laid eyes on the home featured in the movie Something's Gotta Give, I've been in love with beach-inspired homes. I absolutely love that movie, and the home that can be seen throughout it. Here are some photos, from Hooked On Houses to refresh your memory or show you if you haven't seen the movie yet. (PS If you haven't, you should definitely watch it, it's one of my go-to movies)

My apologies for the hiatus in posting this week - it has been a busy, busy week for me. I'm hoping to catch up on posts a bit over the next few days, but I'm not sure whether or not that will happen. Here are some photos that have been inspiring me this week, found via A Life's Design:

Bedroom Inspiration

Here are some shots of bedrooms I came across on iVillage and thought I would share. Our bedroom has a nice base, but definitely needs some more decorating before it's finished. I have a post planned for the near future of the current state of our bedroom + ideas I have that I want to add. These gave me some nice ideas in a variety of decor:

This week's photographic inspiration comes from Apartment Therapy. I love that they have such a wide variety of spaces on their site - you should check it out for yourself!
