Cottages

Cottages... I've got one do you?

Mine is not as cute as any of these but I must say I do love the character of a weatherboard cottage.

The colours of this one above are gorgeous are they not?

So is this one. Do you like cottage style homes or do you prefer something different?

Here is an American style cottage above

And this little 'cottage' is right up my alley, I would love to transform my post war plain Jane cottage into a master piece like this one! Ahhhhh drooool!

Did you pick a winner yesterday in the Melb Cup? We didn't, hubby got three tickets in the office sweep, one for each of us but none of them came through :( Oh well it was a nice day wasn't it.

Have a great Wednesday,

  7. I love them so much I am trying to replicate one when we build! Here I am supposed to be researching colour schemes and I got side tracked reading my favourite blogs...but it was not in vain as I have stubmled upon a winner! The first image you have posted is just what I have in mind in terms of colour. Thanks for helping me out!

  11. I have really started to love the cottage look , they just look like such "family" homes :) We won a little bit yesterday on the cup. Jasper won the $2 sweep and I almost picked the trifecta.Just missed the winner! The important bit! Thanks for playing along today at honey and fizz, so many great comments about your answers xx

  12. Cottages are cute, but we're about to buy a huge chunk of Australia, build a big Queenslander style homestead & let the children run free. Love Posie

  15. Hi
    I love weatherboard cottages too and just about to repaint mine. Am trying to find the right colours and taking photos of houses as I drive past... Then trying to use the dulux app to colour match, the colours are similar to the photos you posted, just love them.
    Cheers
