A Charming Second Home
Would you believe, by looking at the cottage below, that it is only 774 sq. ft.? The overhang covering the outdoor living space makes it look so much larger, doesn't it?
Greg Presley and his wife, Lois, bought a run down cottage on Walloon Lake, Northern Michigan, with the idea of renovating, but upon inspection found too many problems, so they decided to tear it down and build a new weekend home.
As an architect, Greg was able to use several space enhancing ideas to make this small home live large. It's amazing to think they can sleep up to 14 people here. But what isn't shown in the article is the cozy loft above the porch that sleeps six! I would love to have seen the space! Also, the living room sofa is a sleeper sofa. Bunk beds in the small room and then there's the master bedroom.
Greg said the high ceilings, tall windows and whitewashed beadboard interior helped to de-emphasize the cottage's diminutive interior.
The kitchen was designed so that everything can be reached within two steps and the open upper cabinet gives a feeling of added spaciousness.
The living room/dining room are all in one space.
The living room is just a knockout - very striking and absolutely charming and cozy.
What a bright, light filled charmer!

There are two arm chairs opposite the sofa.
Red, White and Blue Maine Cottage
This Moody Beach, Maine, cottage has been completely refurbished inside and out and it looks fabulous!
This house also includes one of the bedrooms from my previous post on 'Cottage Bedrooms'. I came upon this house by chance last week, as well as yesterday's farmhouse. It was nice to see where all these lovely bedrooms actually reside.
While there were only a couple of interior images available, it's worth seeing.......!

Take note of the star window on the third floor with a walkout to the balcony below.
This attic bedroom is the room with the star window and the walkout to the
balcony.........just lovely!

Red, White and Blue Farmhouse
Good morning!
Surprise! I know I said I would be back Tuesday, but I had this post ready to go for July 4, so here it is!
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a post on red, white and blue cottage bedrooms. I thought you might want to see the rest of this charming home where three of the bedrooms in that post came from.....
Enjoy and have a wonderful July 4th holiday!
