    I’m currently in the process of doing my home almost exactly like this. I love the warm colors that you’ve used in it. I was wondering why you went with cream colored sofas instead of maybe a green velvet or something like that. I truly wanna know your thought behind this. Cause I’m in the process of figuring out what colors to go with. Was originally thinking creams and off-white and using accent pillows and blankets to pop color. But I’m falling in love with some rich olive green couches or even a deep amber color. I don’t know what is your thought?

    This cottage was done so well. It's a beautiful property. I think the paper towel holder being hidden was a great idea. Being from Florida most swamps are stagnant and contain alligators. Lol. But hers sounds more like a pond. I'll bet the sound of that stream is incredibly relaxing. They did a great job at remodeling this cottage.

    The living room is DARK, because of the low ceiling, If you’re renovating why not raise the roof for more light and bigger views?? Missed opportunity
    6 out of 10 for the living room.
    The kitchen beautiful with the rocks and colours however that dark slab on the island is to dark only making the space feel darker. The box cut out where the stove sits sticks out like a sore thumb- a beautiful slab of marble or quartz would add interest.

    There is no such thing as European cottage or style... Maybe an English cottage, but these are pretty small? People do not live in cottages here, they live in houses, mostly made of stone and they only have one house and not an additional one in the countryside or in the city. Its like French Provincial or stuff like that, totally made up design nonsense. People in Europe do not have the same style, Icelandic people live totally different from these in Turkey or Luxemburg! Also : they do not live in huge places like that.Europe is a very crowded place, we dont have space for mansions or kitchens like that. The house is a typical Northern Amercian mansion if you ask me..Having said that: I like the house!

    • @janemarion6929
      @janemarion6929 5 месяцев назад +2

      What a judgemental opinionated lead of garbage. Of course homes are different from Turkey to Luxemburg. Two totally different cultures. Most consider Turkey middle eastern. The size does make it less of a cottage feel - America defines words differently. Cottage = cozy, relaxed.
      I lover her home, the space is full of beauty and a ton of love. Stunning. A beautiful balance of her lifestyle, and nature. Very accommodating to her family but to guests. So many memories to be made in such a place.
      I would leap at a chance to raise my family in such a place. A total blessing for her family. Beautiful design and choices in decor. Well done.😊

      You need to understand the term in context. Americans aren't using the term literally. They have a set of styles with names like 'Spanish colonial' or 'European cottage'. They are American styles though, they aren't trying to replicate literally.

    • @nicoleeboo38
      @nicoleeboo38 5 месяцев назад +12

      Agree with smoath, it's a way to say that it's not "American" but rather "old world". When you think of countries that influence the style, you're gonna look at Scotland, England, Germany, and other Norse cultures rather than the Mediterranean countries. But even old French and Italian country homes have similar elements, so it's just an amalgamation of all of them.

    A very nice renovation. The appelation of ‘cottage’ really isn’t correct. This is anything but a cottage, which originally meant a hut, or a humble dwelling. Nowadays the word ‘cottage’ is used to describe a small, independant dwelling and certainly not a house where all the walls have been knocked down.
    This is so pretentious, trying to label something which it is not. Embrace what you have done, a modern renovation of a building in a superb location. You have certainly not obtained a ‘cottage’ in your efforts.
