i’m really glad i took these photos last week because since then our house has been turned upside down, inside out, and looks like clothes and boxes threw up everywhere. we are in the middle of packing and ouy, it’s one big mess over here.
anyways, i’m excited to finally share some pics of our [very] humble abode since it will no longer be ours in less than 2 short weeks (so sad!). our place is tiny, but i love it so much…mostly because it’s been our first place as husband and wife and making a home together has been so much fun! we live underneath the main house in a one bedroom and have an incredible view of the ocean. this house for sure has its quirks (i.e. our bedroom is actually just a giant hallway from the living room to the kitchen), but it also has so much charm (those windows!!!). we’ve definitely had to get creative with the layout. we have way more furniture than what comfortably fits in this space for practical reasons as well as the fact that my office is also our dining room and our living room. i’m not really sure what our style is…kind of an eclectic mix i guess? most everything in this house is a random find from a garage sale, craigslist, or it was picked up for free on the side of the road (like my desk and our dresser!). while i’m excited that we are purging or selling just about everything and starting with a clean slate in california, i’ve grown a bit attached to our home and its quirky character. it breeds the homebody in me because i just love being at home.
our bedroom gets the best natural light and wakes me up every morning! our pillow is also special because we got it on our honeymoon in italy.
we’re not big drinkers and cute bar carts are hard to come by, so i decided to utilize an industrial cart as a beverage cart and for more storage (we barely have any counter space)! we get so much use out of this little corner whether we are blending smoothies, storing sparkling water for dinner parties, or making our morning coffee.
i will miss you, little cottage. you’ve been so good to us!
