🏠 The Cottage - Week 38 Progress Update Y'all, 🏠 The Cottage - Week 38 Progress Update

Y'all, the cottage is essentially done and I can hardly contain my excitement! 

Scroll through for a closer look at one of my favorite design details on the cottage exterior...

THE LIGHTS!

We found the prettiest lighting from @barnlight and I couldn't be happier with how beautiful they are and how well they fit into the design of our new-old cottage.

The galvanized metal matches the galvanized roof to a "T", and the curved gooseneck arms are what exterior lighting dreams are made of. 

Huge shout-out to our electrician @royalelectricalcontractors for taking such good care of these pretty fixtures!

Comment "cottage" and I'll send you the link to both of the exterior lights + a link to the blog post where I shared even more photos and more about all the cottage exterior design details!

I'll be working my way through all 300-ish photos, one space at a time, and I'll share them with ya as soon as I can get em ready. 

But I had to share a couple sneak peeks with ya today!!

The first space up will be the cottage exterior! Whose excited to see that window and the porch all painted??

After the exterior reveal, what room do you want to see next??

It's been exactly 1 month since my last cottage co It's been exactly 1 month since my last cottage construction update on here... 

I've been keeping myself busy lately with the garden, the landscaping refresh, and this week I did a fun DIY - I made silhouette portraits of my pretty little babies!

Comment "diy" and I'll send you the step-by-step tutorial for how to make your own DIY Silhouette Portraits!

But back to the cottage... I have a lot to update you on! 

The house is painted - inside and out. Our lights from @barnlight are installed. @royalelectricalcontractors did an amazing job and I can't wait to get power on so we can see them all lit up! Plumbing is in, and we have running water, and the prettiest sinks and faucets from @vintagetub are officially installed. We even have our vintage style appliances from @uniqueappliancesltd set in place. I just cannot wait for you to see how it's all coming together! 

The cottage is not fully done... but we're about 98% there.

Progress on the cottage has been happening quietly behind the scenes lately. Partly because I've been juggling the cottage, the garden, the kids, and just life… 

At the start of construction, I tried to share lots of progress behind the scenes, especially on Instagram stories, which has been so fun for me! And I hope you've enjoyed seeing it all too! 

(If you've not caught all my stories, you can catch up and rewatch the journey so far in my story highlights. There are 2 for the cottage so far.)
 
But as we get closer and closer to the finish line, I've found myself keeping the latest cottage progress “under wraps” as they say till it was ready for a big reveal! 

And now that we're at that 98% done mark… it's go time! Next week I'll be working on getting lots of photos and lots of videos ready to share with you, and I'll try to share a few sneak peeks in stories while I work on the big reveals!! Stay tuned for some major cottage updates coming soon...

These silhouettes aren't just a craft project - they're keepsakes! 

I wish I had made these for my kids when they were babies, and then toddlers, and then kindergartners... I could have made myself a whole gallery wall of their little profiles! So take this as your sign and make them with your babies now!
