A light and airy sunroom provides the perfect spot to take in the surrounding views and enjoy plenty of natural light. The cottage employs wonderful vintage pieces like the metal globe and the whimsical table lamp. White wicker is the perfect choice of porch furniture for this space.

The mudroom features a built-in wall cabinet with baskets to hold items like hats, gloves, and keys. Rich wood floors lead up the steps to the quaint kitchen. A glimpse of the diamond patterned window peaks out from the left side.

The kitchen is small but super charming. A freestanding wood island serves as a breakfast or snack bar making ideal use of space. A small round wood table pairs with woven dining chairs for cozy meals.

I don’t mind a small kitchen when it has a lot of style and functionality. Black counter tops lend sophistication while baskets and copper pots add timeless appeal. But what I’m really loving is that vintage light by the window.

The dining room in the vintage cottage exhibits the same woven chairs as seen in the kitchen. Natural wood furniture in the form of the table and sideboard pair so beautifully with white walls. I’ve always loved white and wood together.

The cottage’s living room is mostly white with overstuffed furniture that looks perfect for sinking into in front of that cozy brick fireplace.

A jute rug, wood side table, and a rattan serving basket add a bit of texture to the vintage cottage living room.

And finally, the family room features wrap around book shelves that give the small room some depth. Books and collected birds decorate the shelves. A built-in seat was created beneath the window with plantation shutters.

Loved this small cottage home! It gave me lots of ideas for my own small home, especially the living room.
I love the oversized furniture in the small living room. So many people think that a small room means small furniture! I could sink into the couch with a good book and a cup of tea.
I love a smaller home like mine and this one is so cute and decorated perfectly.
