SMALL BOATHOUSE WITH BIG COTTAGE CHARM

August 28, 2013
  • Share
charcoal gray cottage house with white trim flagstone path garden

Am partial to cottages.  I live in one.  Guess I should be partial.  I am also partial to waterfront homes.  I wish I had one.

I am also partial to champagne, sparkling headbands and jewelry, large mansions, ice cream sandwiches, quinoa, finding ways to be skinny without much effort, Rag & Bone jean leggings,  my sister, the silver pig that sits in my office, the James Perse jacket/sweatshirt/blazer cute thing I wear all of the time, there’s more…uhmmm…but I’m sure you would be bored beyond belief…so many things I am partial to but I digress (as usual).

Back to being partial to cottages and waterfront homes.  Imagine my delight when I saw this cute little summer home right on the water somewhere in Canada.  Charming. A cottage from the front…and a waterfront boathouse from the back.

Not sure I would want to live here day in and day out but I would love to spend a weekend in this charmer.  Benignly rustic and definitely cute.

What do you think…would like to live in this little cottage?  Anything you like?  Anything you would change?

Happy Wednesday!

    When I saw your comment “right on the water somewhere in Canada”, I thought to myself, “Well, that narrows it down a bit!” I can just imagine a Canadian blogger posting a picture of a home “right on the water somewhere in the United States”. I was pleased to see a little more detail on the last picture.

    Anyway, it’s gorgeous!

    I like the repeats of black and white and the brightness of it all. One might expect rustic and weathered. I’m available for a weekend visit.

    I don’t care the floor in the dining room, but I like this house.

    This exterior picture is the boat house for the cottage (on Lake Rosseau Ontario). It is not the actual cottage (which is much much larger).

Drapes or no drapes? 👀 One room, two very differe Drapes or no drapes? 👀
One room, two very different feelings.
Without the drapes, the space feels bright, open, and minimal. Add the drapes, and suddenly there’s more softness, warmth, and texture.
This was one of the details we loved playing with in the COCOCOZY Design House. Sometimes a simple window treatment can completely change the feeling of a room.
Which would you choose for this space: WITH DRAPES or WITHOUT? Tell us below. 🤍
Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actu Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actual work.
Delicate florals in a powder room, a full-envelope ikat entry, a moody botanical pantry, a pattern bold enough to wear the whole room — six spaces, zero fear of commitment.
Which one would you live with every day? Drop your answer 👇

A dining room should make people want to stay past A dining room should make people want to stay past dessert.
Seven rooms that all get the basics right: good light, a table with presence, chairs you’d actually want to sit in for two hours.
Which one would you set the table in tonight? 👇

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.
