Had to share some still photos of our new-old cott Had to share some still photos of our new-old cottage bathroom! 

Scroll through and let me know what your favorite design detail is...

For me, I'm torn between that pretty, vintage-inspired gooseneck schoolhouse light... 

(It's from @barnlight of course - and it's one of my favorite lights inside the cottage!)

... the antique buffet we converted into a vanity, and those DIY penny tile floors that wrecked my knees but we're so worth all the soreness.

I couldn't be happier with how this bathroom turned out!

Comment: "bathroom" and I'll send you all the links / sources / the blog post where I shared even more photos of this pretty space!

What can I say - grandma had good taste! And I kn What can I say - grandma had good taste!

And I know she would have loved every little detail of this new-old cottage bathroom. 

Especially that pretty schoolhouse gooseneck sconce over the vanity! 

We found the light at @barnlight and I think it's THE perfect vintage-inspired light for this space. The antique brass color is so pretty in person. And that black stripe around the globe is such a nice compliment to the black and white penny tile floors and the black chalkboard section on the back of the door. It's one of my favorite light fixtures inside the cottage!

Comment "bathroom" and I'll send you the link to the light + all the links and sources for this space!

I grew up hearing the older generations say things I grew up hearing the older generations say things like "they just don't make em like they used to". 

Anyone else grow up hearing that too??

I think they were right about that - for the most part! Often things that are made and sold today just don't last like the things our parents and grandparents were buying years ago. Cars - furniture - you name it! They just don't seem to make em like they used to.

But every now and then you find someone...a company, a carpenter... who's proving that statement wrong!

We found one of those companies in @barnlight and I am here to tell you that in this case, they do make em like they used to!

I couldn't be more proud of these vintage-inspired lights! They add so much character and charm to our new-old cottage kitchen. I can't wait to be "back at Mama's" enjoying some good food under these pretty lights, sitting around that old kitchen island... With country music playing and all the grandkids running around!

I shared a full kitchen tour on the blog with tons of photos and all the design details. ⬇️

Comment "kitchen" and I'll send you the link so you can see all the photos and get all the info on our cottage kitchen - links / sources / paint colors/ design details / what's next for this space!

Them: "They don't make em like they used to." Me: Them: "They don't make em like they used to."

Me: "You don't say..."

I grew up hearing that a lot. "They just don't make em like they used to." And in a lot of cases it's true! 

But every now and then you'll find someone...a company, a carpenter... who's proving that statement wrong!

I can't take it anymore... I have to show you ALL I can't take it anymore... I have to show you ALL OF THE LIGHTS! 

All the lights we chose for our new-old cottage are in AND we have power so we can finally turn them all on and it's just the best feeling!

Thank you @barnlight for creating the prettiest vintage-inspired lights I've ever laid my eyes on!

And thank you to our electrician @royalelectricalcontractors for taking such good care of ALL OF THE LIGHTS for us!

I'll be sharing more of the cottage interior starting with our big cottage kitchen reveal next week! Stay tuned...
