Wednesday Inspiration:: Tiny Victorian Cottage

Yesterday on Pinterest I came across this amazingly adorable tiny victorian cottage.

What was once a hunting lodge, is now a whimsical getaway.

Sandra Foster is the woman behind this little retreat and did an amazing job transforming it. A lot of the decor is handmade or second hand finds, which I love!

Let's start with the porch. The step is made from a tool drawer topped with wood from a bench pulled from a nearby creek.

I love the paper garland she used in this sitting area and that gorgeous chandelier was only $15 at a flea market!

Sandra built the shelves for this china cabinet, then added the french doors that she found at a yard sale for $15 each.

This mirror was also a yard sale find that she transformed.

Crossing a little stream is the only way to access their dream cottage. How fun!

Doesn't it just make you want to build your own little dream cottage?
