Cottage Before and Afters from Cottage Living

Cottage Neighborhood — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:24:38 +0000

I am really missing Cottage Living. Are you? I am super sad that somewhere in our 6 moves in the past 8 years, that I have lost about 20 of the issues. I have started re-buying them the past couple of years, hopefully one day I will have a complete collection again. I was devastated in November 2008 when I learned there would be no more issues.

On a positive note, I have decided to post some of my favorite pictures that graced the pages of my beloved Cottage Living.

I am starting this series out with a highlight of some of the before and after cottage makeovers. The “Before” pictures were originals from the homeowners, so even in the magazine they are not that great of quality and look even worse after I scanned them.

More Cottage Living posts coming soon! Hope you enjoyed these inspiring exterior before and after cottage remodels as much as I did.
