Cottages & Bungalows Magazine – October 2011

Kev and I made a trip to Books-A-Million the other day and were stoked to find the October issue of Cottages & Bungalows there on the shelf amongst all the other snazzy shelter mags!

Starting on page 48, we found an article full of photos we shot at an off-the-charts charming little cottage in North Carolina called the Cottage at Plott Creek.

We had waaaaay too much fun styling/shooting/staying there last Fall.

Here are a few sneak peeks…

The cottage is available to rent, and we’re definitely going to make a trip back there at some point. I’m dyin’ to hit up this place again too…

What a treasure trove of vintage goodness that was!

(For cottage rental info visit: TheCottageWNC.blogspot.com)

And speaking of sneak peeks into this month’s Cottages & Bungalows, Miss Mustard Seed has another great article in the October issue too:

Such a talented one, that Marian!

Alright…I’m off to help Kev attach more planks to the ceiling in the dining room. They actually go up lickety split thanks to our nail gun, I just wish the four coats of primer/paint that has to go on them first went a little more lickety split-ish!

   I discovered this magazine just last month & I love it! I think it gives BHG a run for their money. & Layla, you are so pretty! Seriously, and it looks like you aren’t even wearing make up in that photo!!

   Seriously. I need to just subscribe to this magazine already. I’ve been buying them at Home Depot and it’s like enough already. I own a bungalow, I love the magazine, I need to subscribe. Thanks for reminding me to do so! Looks like an awesome issue!

   Just picked up the Cottages & Bungalows, wow! Your article had the most beautiful pictures and inspiring ideas. The cottage looks rustic and comfortable. The fireplace screen stole my heart. Do you know where it was purchased from by any chance?

     Hey, Meg!

     The screen is from Hayneedle:

     http://www.hayneedle.com/sale/uniflamesinglepanelironfireplacescreen.cfm

     It comes in different sizes to fit your fireplace opening. We have the one at the cottage and home, for two very different style spaces–we love it!

    This looks like the same cottage that the Nester stayed in. Do you know if it is? I’m dreaming about staying there one day, of course that’s AFTER we stay at Wandawega! HAVE GOT TO SEE THAT TREEHOUSE IN PERSON!!!!

    It’s still above 100 degrees here in Dallas, but I can’t wait to start decorating for fall!

    I’m so ready for fall…sigh. The pumpkins are making me wish away the last bit of summer. The shots are beautiful and I love the bead board in that bathroom. Did you guys choose to paint it darker or was it like that already? I think I may have found the solution to my ever so boring half bath.

      Hi, Kelly,

      It is from Pottery Barn Outlet–I found it in 2008 so not sure it is still around. It already had that paint finish–yea for me, one less thing to paint, ha!

      Good luck!

    Can’t wait to get a copy of that new magazine and see the articles! It is so neat to see articles from fellow blog friends, like you and Marian. I love The Tobacco Barn… it is an awesome place! And check out The Screen Door too, the next time you are up in the area. Love & blessings from NC!

    I am so glad you’ve been talking about this magazine! I’ve been so sad since Cottage Living went out of print. I wasn’t aware that this magazine existed. I just ordered a 3 year subscription! This should fill the void. Thanks. Great work, btw!

    Love the pic of the black door, but beware, we have a black door on our shingled craftsman style home and they really take some upkeep. ie spider webs, fingerprints, etc.

    Hi Layla! I know that this post was from a while ago but I have fallen head over heels for that beautiful raw wood sunburst mirror in your ‘photography’ category and tracked it back to this cottage home that you guys shot . Any chance you know where it’s from? I would be OH so appreciative!!
