Cottage Daydreaming

We have an appointment tommorow to go see 2 Cottage/Bungalow style houses that are for sale.  We love our current house, but I am SO EXCITED to check it out.  We've been reading Radical, by David Platt and one thing he suggested is living below your means for a year and use your extra money to bless others.

Living in a suburban neighborhood is nice and we love it.  There is just this huge part of me that wants a picket fence.  Beadboard.  White painted paneling.  Charm.

Of all the Cottage Decorating Styles I'm not sure where I land.  Somewhere between French, English and Swedish and Shabby Chic.  Huh, apparantly I love it all.  Casual, comfortable, homey, floral, stripes, silk, toile, light and simple.  Ivy, well manicured flower beds and lawn, lavender, limelight hydrangea (pictured below).
