Sorry I can't edit the title, should be a few things I love for the cottage, but anyway, you get the idea.

I dunno, I think your title says it well.

Me too - the wording works flipped either way.

Beautiful pieces and they really show the dynamic in the cottage. The picture of the chest of drawers stopped me - had the exact same piece when first married - wish I'd kept it.

The house at night took my breath away. I am a convert to the dark side; modernism. Or whatever ism it is!

Earthy simplicity...so very wonderful :)

The photo taken outside at night brings a tear to my eye. :)

Love everything! What an eye you have and how lovingly you choose everything for this space! The bird sitting on the chest of drawers is my favorite though I love everything.

Great choices! I especially like the bird. I'm checking out those sheets also. Will have to search reviews of them.

Sochi, everything you chose is just perfect for your cottage. I'm delighted that you are purchasing Rough Linen for your bed. I just love the wonderful feel of the sheets. It is truly a pleasure to crawl into bed each night.

That night shot is breathtaking! Just gorgeous! Love all your little treasures that you've found.

I love everything about your cottage. It is incredible; so serene and in touch with nature, and with such a unique spin on modern/contemporary. I love the dishes too; the different colors you have chosen are perfect!

Love everything!

I'm enjoying all of your pictures of your cottage. It looks like a wonderful place to live. I like the bird on the dresser. While that one is antique, I think you said, it reminds me of Jonathan Adler's designs.

So impressive! So well thought out...love the lights under the cantilever!

beautiful! Perfect home for the perfect location. caught a glimpse of your floors. What wood are they and stained or natural?

So nice!!!

Sochi, I just love your dinnerware. How long have you had it? Are you happy with its durability? Are the colors pretty similar to how they look on the !ndigo website?

TIA

Can someone post a link to the !ndigo website? My computer won't let me even search for it with the ! TIA

allison here you go....it looks different from what sochi has...

Here is a link that might be useful: indigo canada

Trail's link is correct. Sorry about the confusion with the exclamation mark, Indigo/Chapters is a book store here in Canada, I was surprised to find dinnerware I liked so much there.

I bought mine last fall, but only started using them a few weeks ago. So far so great. They are currently on sale buy three get one free. Anyone in Canada or close to the border can see them in the stores. Some of the colours I chose don't seem to be available now, but some are. They are the hand glazed ones.

Those pics look like they should be in a magazine. That nighttime photo is amazing.

I hope you have the ability to open windows to listen to the running water and the wind in the trees! What an incredible spot you've got.

Thanks Tibbrix! Many windows do open, as do the DR doors, loving the sounds of falling leaves at the moment.

Just noticed that the 4 for 3 sale of dinnerware ends tonight at midnight, pacific time. I'm buying a few more. Look for the artisanal collection. Mine are a mix of grey, green, matte black and blue.

What a stunning "cottage" you have. You have such a good eye for photography. Did you build this or remodel? Can't wait to see the rest of the place.

Will you be lighting any of the trees?

I can only say I envy your good eye for knowing what will work. Especially that bird. I would have overlooked that.

rtwilliams, thank you. Here is a link to a post from a couple of weeks ago with some other pictures of the cottage. It is a new build, not totally finished yet, still need an interior railing, a bit of work done in the upstairs bathroom, finishing of rooms, etc.

emmarene - yes, I would like to light up some of the trees. Since we don't have window treatments I think that will help with the big black holes that the windows turn into at night.

Enjoying this journey, too. Please keep sharing... :)

Unifying principles of beauty, simplicity, and organic shape---perfect!

Awesome pieces! Love how the simple shapes make the beauty of the materials stand out. They are so in tune with the house overall: simple and organic.

What I love about your house is that it immerses you in the natural setting. No elaborate decor to distract from the nature's beauty.

Sochi, I"m assuming you're all set with lighting, but I came across this gorgeous contemporary pendant and thought of your "cottage".

Awesome, that is all I can say.
