Dream cottages

GingerPeach — Sun, 28 Jan 2018 14:56:17 GMT

By special request from @OfCourse, here are a few "dream cottages." These are also from Pinterest. (I, too, hesitated in signing on to Pinterest the first time but found it was worth it in the end. There is just so much beauty that people have shared.)

@GingerPeach Thanks a million! Gorgeous! If I won a big lottery (rarely play) I would have something like one of these with another cottage on the property for visitors. One can dream! I don't like really big houses for myself.

Hi @GingerPeach.... thanks for sharing. My favorite is the second one. But also like the two below it. My least favorite is the first one.

I completely agree with you as to preferring a smaller house for myself, @OfCourse

I find myself looking at cottage homes all the time!

The last one looks like it could be in the Celebration development in Orlando.

I love to see paths, country paths, especially in the fall!!

I love Marinas, porches, especially those little ones that are also little tea rooms.

Love the mountain pictures with lakes

That sort of thing!!!

@Boehm Collector

Now that I've reviewed them again, I can truthfully say I agree with the order of your lineup!

The cottages indeed are beautiful, but too sterile and perfect for my taste. I prefer something that looks lived in, in a natural landscape setting.

@qualitygal, I'm all about tree-lined paths, especially in the fall, but all year round, too.

I'm flipping over that last one. Love it! Of course all the other ones are nice, too. But I must say I don't think I will ever be a big fan of metal roofs...especially in vivid blue.

Anyone have any others to post?

We don't need to feel limited by the few I posted. No need to feel compelled to rate them, just enjoy (or not).

Thank you for lifting my morning. Absolutely stunning.

@GingerPeach I could see myself in the first one. I guess its the big wrap around porch.

@GingerPeach Now we're talking. Put the house with the wrap around porch on the property and I'd be set.

Is there anywhere one can find the floor plans? These are so cute!

Such beautiful places! The grey and white one is to die for.

Does anyone else think, that when they hear the word 'cottage', that is should be small?

I don't know where I got that idea, but many of these posted are like full size homes to me, and I always think of a small place when I hear the word cottage. I can be weird!

Our home in Pittsburgh was a cottage style home and I just loved it. The new house we are currently planning to move into is as well.It is Florida style architecture but has a sweet little cottage feel.

@Mominohio, Cottage to me, means on a lake! Size has nothing to do with it. It might be one level vs. two though.

@Mominohio Then I guess I'm weird too, because cottage to me connotes a somewhat smaller, cozy home. The location isn't a factor, though 'ideally' it would situated in a more rural setting.

A cottage has always been my dream home... Not too small, but certainly nothing along the lines of what those during the Gilded Age used to refer to as 'cottages'...
