Leaving the Cottage behind in Utah, I now live in a Victorian-style condo on the edge of the Forest in Northern Idaho where I gather flowers, herbs, and other edibles. I have simplified my life in many ways now that I'm getting older and looking to tend my "Inner" Garden, have more time to knit, sit, read, and nap.
Beyond the common lay the woods where I can walk forest trails and gather wild flowers and forage for herbs and edibles.
Naturally weathered shutters
A comfy bedroom chair to read and meditate.

The entry way door area in Autumn
A corner of the living room
A bouquet for my dining room table.
A lovely scented rose from a friends rose bush.
Comfort station in the guest room for relaxation needs
Drinks tray in the dining room
One of the dining room sconces with dried flowers
A cozy sitting room for visitors or to snug up and read a book
A spot near the front door to set and open mail
Shouldn't we all name our abodes?
Laundry room cleaning station
Wanky cupboard doors removed and homemade "cafe-themed" curtains added in their place.
