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

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