tiny swedish cottage


I'm dreaming of a tiny Swedish cottage by the sea...
400 square feet, to be exact.


Everything you need, absolutely diminutive in size.


 The cottage is on a darling little island an hour from Stockholm (by boat) called Resarö in the Stockholm Archipelago. With one store on the island, loads of cute cottages, and gardens, it sounds like my idea of heaven.

In just two weeks, we're making our annual trek to an island on the Great Lakes. I dream of buying a small cottage on the shore, splashing lots of white paint all over it, and making it our own. One day, it's going to happen.


Have you entered our give-away yet? 
I'm loving all of the sweet summer memories everyone is sharing, take a peek.

I'm guessing which island you might be visiting on the Great lakes...Beaver, Drummond? Your dreamy tiny cottage is delightful. It honestly reminds me of your dreamy playhouse.

Beautiful dream! I am believing with you that it will one day come true ;-) We all need a little cottage by the sea.

What a wonderful place to dream about! We all need a place to escape to...right now mine's a tent in the mountains!

A tiny cottage on the water is always a delight no matter where. Have a wonderful time.

Okay...I want to build this in my back yard, next to our creek and sleep in there on beautiful nights!

Hi, I wish you plenty of luck to realize your dream of a little cottage.
In our last holydays in June we lived in a little dream cottage with a wonderful garden around. But unfortunatly the sun was hiding during the week and we could not really enjoy the garden. But anyway, this old house was almost like paradise.
Have a nice weekend, Love Tina
