Cottage Design Part 1 ~ Architectural Elements

Posted by follow me On 0 comments

As I have mentioned recently, I am planning some

major redecorating projects in my cottage this year.

My husband is a contractor, so I am going through photos

of his work to get ideas of what sort of architectural elements

I want to add to our cottage.

This ceiling has beams and bead board. Would be cute in the

kitchen ~ don't you think?

Love the idea of bookcases on either side of a fireplace.

I think I would like a bit deeper mantel though.

Here's a close up of the shadow boxing.

Love this look! Charming for a cottage.

I like this too ~ though it's a bit more formal.

Columns add interest

As do arched hallways.

Architectural elements can add so much charm to a cottage ...

and they can be functional too like this back hall storage center.

I am gathering ideas for my own projects. I have lots of ideas. Once I settle

on the trim work, I will decide on color. Stay tuned!

I am joining Show and Tell Friday at Cindy's

Bentley ~ go tell your Daddy that he has a lot of work to

do in our cottage!

Love,

Susan and Bentley

xxoo

PS: David ~ I gave you a plug so does that give me some advantage?
