Spread the Love
I wanted to share with you all a couple of new cottage blogs I've discovered - new to me and also in the sense that they are newly created blogs that are just waiting for visitors and to be discovered. By the way, if you have or know of a cottage blog, "vintage" blog, or "old house" blog, please let me know! I consider such blogs to be great resources - a wonderful source of inspiration for both myself and other readers, and I "collect" them, if you will.
First let me introduce you to Paintin-Patti. She is currently making over her older, outdated cabinets by adding beadboard and moulding. It's looking great so far! She says they are almost finished and she'll be posting photos as soon as she can. She's painting them a beautiful cottage white - I can't wait to see them!
I'd also like to invite you to visit Elizabeth Hill Cottage. What a sweet little cottage! Like hubs and I, Martha is going to be documenting their cottage transformations, which always fun to watch unfold.
A dear friend of mine also has a blog called Ivy and Lace Cottage. If you love all things old-fashioned - quilts, aprons, vintage goodies, nostalgia - you'll love visiting Marilyn:)
You'll also enjoy visiting Mary from Across the Pond ! She came to America 45 years ago but hasn't lost her love for her native land in England, and this shows in her lovely new blog:)
There are several other cottage blogs that I've come across but due to my major lack of organizational skills, lol, I can't find them now:( If you think you might be one of them, please tell me. You know, when I first started blogging I couldn't locate any other cottage blogs. Not that they weren't out there, I just couldn't find them. But now I'm thrilled that they are popping up all over the place!
So about the dining wall. Hubs changed his mind about letting me tackle it and wants to wait for our friend to do it:( He's suppose to come tonight but if he can't for some reason, the wall is mine. Today, I'll be spending my day decluttering and sorting through the winter clothes and preparing for a spring yard sale. I've also been working on crafts this week as I've had the time (ha!) and I'm having so much fun!

I'm not sure how I found these fun "cottage blogs" but if you haven't seen them, they are awesome.

Thanks for the great links!
Kim - thanks so much for "promoting" my new blog. I've already heard from some great new friends and am enjoying their posts also. So many interesting women doing fabulous things - life is good!
As always, will continue checking in on your projects - wish I had your energy!
Thanks for the links, can't wait to check them out! I hope you get to play with your wall ;-)
Thanks for sharing! It's always fun with new countrylifelinks. :) How did the dining room wall project turn out?
I have bookmarked the links you posted! I can never have too many cottage blogs to visit. Even though mine isn't a cottage blog, I enjoy seeing what others are doing and have planned.
Kim, you are such a sweety! Thanks for sharing my blog's link. I love yours more!!!!LOL
I have an "old house blog"...don't always blog about the house, but lots of times I do...I also have a wonderful clump on my sidebar called"cottage girlie girls"
Kim- I just wanted to say hi stranger and also tell you how great that paint looks in your kitchen. I'm so excited for you. I love the list of foreign blogs and saved the link to that entry so that I can go back when I have more time. It just breaks my heart that I can't READ them! Hope you are well and that you are enjoying your projects. Hugs, Jen
Thanks for the recommended blogs. I'm always looking for somewhere new to obtain inspiration and just read along with. Like another poster, I have a blog that talks a lot about our 1916 Craftsman style bungalow; while the house isn't the main focus of the blog, it is a large focus of it, and there are pics posted sporadically with updates on our latest projects.
I love the new blogs you pointed out. We are doing a cosmetic makeover on our kitchen right now.
My blog is mainly about our trials and joys of fixing up our 1938 "cottage". It's been fun but hard work!
oooh yep I met a few of those ladies last night..great sites!
Thanks for sharing the links to such nice blogs. Blogs are so much fun. Thanks for sharing all you do on yours :)
Missing you Kim - guess you are really busy building, crafting etc. Will be awaiting some news about you and, again, many thanks for sharing new cottage blogs (including mine) so that we can all have even more fun. It does become a bit of an addiction though, just want to read them all...oh well there are much worse, and more dangerous, addictions!!!
Ooh, lots of neat sites to check out! Thanks you all, and hello to everyone who is popping in for the first time - it's nice to see you and I look forward to checking out your sites!
I've been so busy - but that's a great thing! The weather has been beautiful this week (today was 76!) and I've been busy both inside and outside the house...Gonna post about! Anna, I'll be updating about the wall. Thanks for asking! Progress - yay!
We are building a new "cottage" after our home was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina, it will be a pink cottage no less!! We can't afford a contractor so we are doing all the work ourselves. I am enjoying reading your blog, re~doing a home is hard work, but it is nice to do things the way you want ~
