Summer Cottage, Chicago Home + Garden



I was so charmed by this cute little cottage with a great story behind it, when I read about it on Apartment Therapy.
Tereasa Surratt and her husband restored and renovated this cabin after moving it hundreds of miles from Central Illinois to Wisconsin. And I found out Tereasa is publishing a book about the whole process of rescuing the cottage. It will be available in 2010, for more information check out her website. Read the article "Lake Effect" on the Chicago Home + Garden website. And see more detailed images here.
This place makes me want to start my holiday right away. What about you?

I love it, I really love this kind of country style, it's simple enough, not fussy or oldfashioned. I wish I had a tiny summer cottage too.

I fell in love with this cabin too. It's just the kind of thing I'm dreaming of finding.
