I love this light, open , airy home. I do not care for the Scullery closed in like that though. It makes seem too closed off and disconnected.

 

I also would do a little more landscaping in the back yard, some pretty flowers would liven it up a bit. Otherwise a great home!!!

Lovely! 

Owning a pool I know grass around a pool is a royal pain. The grass gets stuck to everyones feet and ends up in the pool. 

I would have to change a wide area around to pool to concrete or pavers to prevent that from happening.....been there done that.

So pretty. Calm and airy. She definitely captured a coastal vibe, but without looking too "beachy." I love all of the bright white, the pillows on the sofa, the wooden blinds, all of it, really! And Betty is a bonus! Smiley Happy

Hilary and her husband did a beautiful job renovating their cottage.

Beautiful home and furnishings, but a little too much white for me.

Figured I'd be the only one here to champion the scullery! I like it better than the adjoining kitchen, even.  What they're calling a scullery, is basically a butler's pantry, with some added utility. I like the intimate dimensions, extra sink and storage, everything.  What a boon for entertaining too. 

 

Interesting about interior window walls.  They're one architectural feature that's become very popular, that I do agree with.  You get an enclosed area, for whatever purpose, but also the light from the exterior windows in the area can flow on into the corridor, like in Hilary's example.

 

Downside--  more windows to wash.  But I accept the trade-off for interior and exterior French doors too.

I've always loved transoms, for the same reason-- travelling light.

 

@CarolinaGirl88 ,  you captured my feeling exactly-- coastal, without being too overtly 'beachy'.   I could imagine being in that cozy cottage year round, with just a few tweaks.
