Our family was able to visit some of our great friends this weekend. They had just purchased a 1960's split level.  I fell in love with their house.  One of the best features of this home, besides the floor plan, are the large picture windows.  The view from their kitchen is similiar to this picture of the mountains.
She asked me for some advice about what she could do with her home.  I have been looking online for her style which she said is more cottage.  So here it is modern cottage ideas for your new home! Courtney, I hope you like them and it gives you some inspiration.

  2. Love it!! These are some great photos. I love the square lines and the cleanliness of it all--less cluttered design. I also love the colors. Now I just need more energy and tons of cash. Next time you come, let's go shopping!
