My Cottage Style

My husband, Al, and I are beginning the process of renovating our home. We live in a 1,600 sq. ft. manufactuMy hred home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, which we bought new in November '02. We like the floor plan of our home but everything else must go, e.g., vinyl-covered wall panels with the vertical strips, laminate cabinets, nondescript light fixtures, cheap hardware and faucets, cottage cheese ceilings, etc.

We have begun drywalling in our 2-year-old daughter, Jenna's, room and I have scraped the cottage cheese texture off of the ceiling. Not easy work! Al and I both like cottage style decor. He goes for the more rustic style and I like rustic as well and a little of everything else-coastal cottage, European cottage, romantic cottage....Did I miss any?

I posted some photos above that I found at cottageliving.com that inspire me. Maybe they will inspire you as well.
