5 Ways To Add Cottage-Style Character To Your Home

Jun 6, 2018 By Layla

Hello! Each Wednesday I share some of the photos that stopped me in my scroll while I was perusing Instagram the previous week. Here are this week’s picks. They are all such great examples of how you could add a ton of character to your home!

1. Apothecary_Design:

Trisha’s caption read, “It’s funny how remodeling works like dominos. The entry area wasn’t even part of the original design, nor was the brick arch! Probably two of my favorite design elements in the entire remodel! The archway happened because millwork for a big arch is terribly expensive and the board and batten entry was always needed, but happened after I was inspired by another small hall entry area last minute. Necessity IS the mother of invention!”

Trisha has a really cute Etsy shop and you can find it here: ApothecaryD

2. @HouseOfHudson–

I love what they’re doing there and can’t wait to see a photo with the bed all in place!

Tiffany’s caption read, “The master closet/bed wall redo is move in ready! We are still waiting on the closet door to arrive and some other stuff on the other side of the room but this side is ready for a bed!”

You can find her fun blog here: House of Hudson

3. @SaraParsons –

Sara is turning their attic into a master suite. What a fun way to make the most of those angles!

Her caption read, “A lot of people ask if the open shower is cold, or messy or if it sprays everywhere and the answer is no. It works like a dream.”

Here’s a pulled-back view of the space:

I’m smitten! Here’s a link to Sara’s inspiring blog: Sara Parsons Photography

4. @JennyKeenanDesign –

Gosh, I love a nook. I’m still trying to work one in on our side of the house! 😀

Jenny’s Instagram caption read, “It might be a crazy rainy morning here in Charleston but we are still dreaming of making summer memories. School’s out for summer for our kids so let’s do this!”

Here’s a link to a tour of the rest of Jenny’s stunning home: Jenny Keenan’s Home Tour!

5. @WhitetailFarmhouse:

Nothing stops me in my scroll faster than than a photo with straw hats in it lately. Such a fun and easy way to add a little summertime to a space!

Jamie’s caption read, “Happy Summer + Happy June!!! The time to throw on your hats because the heat is already in full force here in Texas!”

Here’s a link to Jamie’s inspiring Pinterest page: Whitetail Farmhouse on Pinterest

Happy Wednesday, friends! And thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday! 😀
