Well, it looks like we are going to be making the next step in our journey very soon. We have known from the time that we started renting here that it was temporary-- only a place that would allow us to move back to KY from MS (a whole other story!). Now it is time for us to move again... our landlord has sold the property. Of course, the next place we rent will be temporary, too-- only a place to live until we can BUY our LAND and put our "STORAGE" UNIT/COTTAGE <3 on it! :D Since we are in the process of packing to move... I took advantage of this time and REARRANGED everything to mimic the small space we will be living in when we *finally* get our cottage. It was so much *FUN*--- and THIS time I got PICTURES!! :D (I've done this before, if you remember-- but didn't take any pictures. THIS TIME I have PICTURES! :) )
So... take a "virtual tour" of my tiny space in my beautiful cozy cottage :)
So... take a "virtual tour" of my tiny space in my beautiful cozy cottage :)
This will be the view as if you were standing in the doorway of the cottage looking to the left... On this small portion of the wall will be brick for our small wood stove. The gas heater and door will (obviously) NOT be there! On this wall, I think I may want to have a built-in bookcase that would add a small "divider" between the two spaces... don't know yet. The sink, etc. will be to the right of the table along the "back wall". The couch... with end table and coffee table :) Along that back wall, visualize, the front door will be about where my kitty is... the front windows will be moved to the right some (about where the lamp & clock are)... and the white door won't be there. Another angle of the cozy living room... the hutch will be filled, the coffee table will have stuff on it, and don't forget the wall to the right will be brick and wood stove :) | The table and chairs are in place, but the refrigerator, etc. will not be there-- it will be a wall. This little rug marks the distance from the wall that the brick will come out onto the floor space. We will probably not have carpet, either. Another look at the eating area tucked behind the sitting area :) I think it's pretty cozy! I like it :D Small, but cute! You can see there *is* a little bit of room between the back of the couch and the table. My cozy chair... if my kitty will share! ;) Another view... Along that wall, where the couch is, will be the stairs to go upstairs. The stove, refrigerator, etc. will also be on that wall (in an L shape with the back wall where the sink will be). |
So, there you have it!! We will have a door to the left of the stairs that will lead to our master bedroom and the bathroom/laundry room... that will be built on. It will be *interesting* to see "how close" the REAL cottage will be to THIS idea/plan! :D GLAD I've got pictures! lol!!
