The textures of a life in a little cottage house. All the fabrics and petals, light and materials that make up the things that surround us within our homes. I love spending time at our cottage house. With our jobs, we don’t always get to lounge about the abode as much as we’d like. And having already reached the seven-month mark of living here, it seemed a good time to take some shots of the details that make up the life we’ve constructed in these walls. It’s not always neat and tidy, with shoes kicked aside, dirty dishes left behind, and dust accumulating on the windowsills, but beauty can remain, even without glamour.
