making our third-generation adirondack cottage one percent more restful each day | day four: kitchen entryway part one

Today, I'm sharing another small project from our third-generation Adirondack cottage! Our home is actually a 1970s ranch that we affectionately call the cottage, and one of my hopes with this series is to slowly create a space that feels increasingly cozy, welcoming, and peaceful. I love the charm of European cottages, the beautiful area in the Adirondacks where we live and the warmth of collected treasures, and the beauty of a home that tells a story.

And I am discovering that even the smallest projects can be part of that process.

For today's project, I focused on a little wall near our entryway. It's one of those everyday spaces that we walk past constantly, but that can easily be overlooked. Rather than waiting until I have the time or budget to tackle an entire room, I'm choosing to celebrate the little improvements along the way.

I hope this little project encourages you to look around your own home and find one small thing you can do today to make it feel a little more restful. It doesn't have to be expensive. It doesn't have to be perfect. And it certainly doesn't have to be finished all at once.

Sometimes, creating a home we love happens one little project, one thoughtful detail, and one percent at a time. Thank you so much for following along on this journey!

With love from the shores of Lake Champlain,
