a little slice of heaven

i went to my itty bitty cottage in kennebunkport, maine this weekend.  it is seriously the cutest little place ever.  Small Room Decorating (aka Country Almanac) magazine recently featured it in a winter 2011 issue.  i was delighted.

me before heading to dinner on saturday.  i went to Arrows!  (more on that extravaganza later).

 the mag

 

i swear i didn't use the word "urbanite"

the custom built in bench doubles as a guest bed and is about 15 feet long

of course i plugged Holiday- and here i am talking about nostalgic vintage postcards again

the stacked wood is an "optical illusion"- it's a door to storage

 

the kitchen is compact but completely functional

the bed is custom built on a platform and the mirror helps with light and space

the exterior (especially at night) is dreamy.  and below is an accurate quote

 

seduced i was... some exterior pics by me

the secret garden-esque patio

and awesome window boxes/landscaping

 

 

 the pros and cons and did i really say "design junky???"  i don't recall that.

 

talk about a dollhouse!
