The kitchen has 5, the living room also has 5, which includes a closet door. The study has 2. One upstairs bedroom has 2 and the bathroom has 2. I'm someone who is fond of a cozy room with 1 door, but they don't exist here! I so enjoy your lovely blog.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-14102299013165968072010-07-09T12:04:55.159-05:002010-07-09T12:04:55.159-05:00We had that weathered wood fence before and unless...We had that weathered wood fence before and unless it is sealed it is so ugly. Have you thought about an iron fence? WHile I do not know how large an area you need to fence in that would be in style with you cottage. I still love picket fences. Could you work with the water and choose a color that would enhance the rust from the water? <br /><br />I know what ever you do will be darling.Finding Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671978828279304904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-18148242219728733742010-07-08T13:46:12.841-05:002010-07-08T13:46:12.841-05:00Wow...I can't believe all the sweet comments a...Wow...I can't believe all the sweet comments about our little cottage! If you had seen this place before we moved in I think most of you would have run for the hills rather than consider buying it. It was a nightmare. We still have lots to do but we're not in any rush as everything else is livable for now. Now that we sold the boat we have the money to build a screened porch off the kitchen and make a cottage garden complete with picket fence to keep the 'horse' of a dog we have from destroying it. Unfortunately the fence can't be white....I know it should be white but our water has a LOT of iron and it will turn it an ugly reddish brown in no time. SO...the only thing I can think of is to buy this stuff that turns wood into a weathered gray pretty fast. If any of you have any suggestions please let me know! <br /><br />Thanks again for the compliments...it makes all that hard work feel worth while. <br /><br />Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-46055893145590868582010-07-08T11:51:22.723-05:002010-07-08T11:51:22.723-05:00I love your cozy home, Maura!

This makes me want to: 1) go through my house with a shovel (seriously declutter), 2) and clean, 3) totally redecorate and make things pretty.

And all those doors and windows are fabulous. I adore an open floor plan. What great light you have! And I'm insanely jealous of your grandfather clock. I've wanted one *forever* but have yet to come across one that I can afford.
