Decorating Turning Point
Decorating Turning Point
Hey everyone!
I hope you had a nice Easter with your family and/or friends.
If youve been stopping by regularly, you know were right in the middle of a messy project over at the mountain cottage. Im sure youve been in the middle of a project when it seems like its been going on forever and ever, and theres no end in sight.
Were at a turning point at the mountain cottage and things are going to start looking pretty.
The bed Mr. DIY built for the downstairs bedroom is in the painting stage...
Ive actually been sleeping on a real mattress, instead of an air mattress...
We bought some Expedit bookcases for the closet and now I can unpack my suitcase...
I found some linens and a big fluffy down like comforter, plus some really comfy pillows...
and today, I found a cute store nearby that sells vintage furniture and I bought a few things for the downstairs bedroom.
Woo hoo!
Just in case youre in the Charlotte area, you can visit the cute little vintage store called Kikis Kottage in downtown Pineville, North Carolina. It just opened up last month. I found it by scouring the furniture section of the Charlotte Craigslist. (Ive been know to spend a little time on there)

Took a few pics of the inside of the store to share and will tell you what I found at the end...
Its a good thing that the mountain cottage is a teeny tiny house since the budget is pretty small for furniture and accessories. Its pretty overwhelming to have to purchase everything for a whole house, even if its a teeny tiny one.
Been looking for a big basket for the living room to hold some cuddly throws to keep us warm on those cold days and nights in the Fall and Winter. I havent been able to find a basket I liked, but this rustic looking wooden box with rope handles might be a great alternative. Im pretty sure Mr. DIY can make one of these with some of the leftover wood from some other projects. I think some industrial wheels might look good on it, as well.
Heres another cute little decorated room at the shop. I might have purchased something in this pic.
I am resisting the temptation to purchase lamps before the major pieces of furniture get put in the rooms. LOVE that lamp! (Especially the finish)
The shop had a couple of great ladders on display.
Ive been looking for a ladder for either the downstairs bathroom, the upstairs bedroom or the living room.
This one was a little large for our teeny tiny mountain cottage.
I ended up getting this fabulous ladder. Not sure which room it will go in, but its going to look great in one of them.
Heres the little beauty I got! Its going in the downstairs bedroom and will either hold clothes or a little tv. Depends on whether or not we can get another little tall and slim dresser in the room.
