We live in a modern cottage-style house that we built in 2002 from home plans that we found in a magazine at the grocery store. We ordered the plans and then discovered that the main living area was vaulted -- 22 feet. Not quite the cottage feel, but we added tongue and groove boards to the ceiling and hung two old quilts with similar colors and a wood log cabin quilt that I made from painted and cut lattice strips glued onto a plywood backing on the high walls. I've also used other folk art items that I've made in the space. This area is also open to my kitchen, sunroom and dining room and on the other side of the windows is a porch that we recently converted to a four season room (I'll add photos later of other rooms..

This is my little old house decorated for summer in Americana red white and blue. My house was built around 1892. I had fun painting the house number and mural on the porch.

I have always loved primative folk art and wanted to try my hand at painting a mural. This is just a small den so I thought I would take a chance.

We've only lived in our new home for about 9 months now. I'm slowly starting to put the finishing touches to every room. Here's our kitchen. I love red, so almost all my rooms have a little red in them (some more than others. I've done everything myself.

Cost only about 2000 dollars for kitchen interior redo! Saved by using existing cabinets and appliances(appliances are newer then added new hardware counters flooring lights window trim sink faucet plumbing wainscoting new breakfast bar built using existing leftover cabinet all new door and cabinet trim etc.. I tried to use trim to remind of an old victorian kitchen. I got very good deals off Ebay and did all the work myself.

This is the bath off the Family Room. The home only had one bath so I had to add another. It's small but still a full bath. I tried to add some character with the trim etc. Every piece is of a waterproof material and was installed with waterproof caulk/adhesive to avoid any mold/mildew problem. The artwork is reproduction chimney covers. This was one of my first projects in the house.
