Dream cottage
(traditional home)

I've always wanted to live in a house with a little cottage in my backyard. One of my childhood friends had a 'playhouse' (which was actually a fancy word for a fancy shed), and I remember asking my mom 'why don't we have a playhouse like that?!'. We don't have a yard right now, but perhaps sometime I will get my dream cottage. Here are some swoon-worthy cottages around the world. I am drooling!

PS. Has anyone seen/heard of this life size dollhouse in Canada?

During college I lived in a "play house" in the backyard of my landlord's house. It was absolutely darling. We had jasmine growing everywhere and a floral archway to enter our household. I miss that cottage... In fact, I'd much rather live there (or in a cottage like it) than anywhere else in the world! :)

I'm surprised you didn't include this dream cottage that New York Times did a slideshow on. It's gorgeous! I love that it's all white and her personal sanctuary.

I love these. My parents have a small house-shaped shed in their backyard, and I'm trying to get them to let me redecorate it in a cute style similar to these (needs repainting anyway, so why not?) Wish it had been there when I was growing up!

We have a little boathouse-style garage in our back yard that we've been talking about turning into a guest cottage for the last 10-or-so years...maybe some day :) It's fun to dream! Thanks for posting this! So inspiring. Love your blog.

These are all so quaint and adorable. The first and last ones look as if they should be part of a fairytale.

Hannah J. Holmes on May 20, 2011 at 11:25 PM said...

I especially love the first one, so tall and thin, looks like a picture from a story book, where some tall, lanky character lives :)
