I love seeing how other people make the best of their living spaces and of course before and after photos are great inspiration when freshening up my own home. I was particularly impressed by how the owner of this not-so-glamorous hunting cabin turned it into dream Victorian-inspired cottage. She scoured garage sales and second hand stores to find all the furnishings and finishing touches needed to complete the $3000 project and now uses the cottage in the forest as her own personal little retreat.

Woaaah, that's cool as!
I N C R E D I B L E !!!!!!! !
P.s. that is my exact phase that I am in, I have been clearing out sections of the apartment and giving lots to charity stores/my market stall
I think it is important to consume less, and consume wisely, better to buy a more expensive dress that will last a long time and can be mixed with different outfits, than a cheap disposable one (and when needing cheap, opt for second hand!)
LOVE this post! xxx

That little Victorian-style cottage is gorgeous - I can envision spending many an hour just sitting on the porch reading a good book and watching the world go by :)
It looks great! Very dreamy!

The hardest thing in apartment I find is wardrobe space. There just is never enough room for everything. I love the before and after shots. That cottage is stunning.

Oh wow that is pretty awesome. I love cottages and shabby chic. That's inspirational. I'm the same - too much stuff, not enough room. Need my own house.

Totally understand your small apartment woes; we lived in a tiny one bedroom place for years! Argh!
This is absolutely amazing. Very inspiring!
Oh my GOSH! That's the most magical place in the world!
That place looks amazing! I am struggling to live in one room with my boyfriend whilst we save up to move out.
