Catskills Cottage

I imagine it to look a lot like this. A New York couple spent 7 months renovating this cute 700 sq ft cottage, which was their first home purchase. I bet it was a dream come true for them too! The home reminds me a lot of Martha Stewart's Lily Pond home from the outside (see it <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2008/06/lily-pond.html" target="_blank">here</a>).

When I was out in NY back in November, Montauk was my favorite place we visited. I loved strolling the beache and the streets looking at the houses, imagining what they looked like on the inside. So fun to get peak in this one that's <span style="font-style: italic;">so</span> right up my alley. The bright colors, the light-filled rooms...it's a place I'd love to call home! Head over to <a href="http://www.cococozy.com/2010/02/see-this-house-having-fun-with-bright.html" target="_blank">Cococozy</a>, because there's a bunch more rooms you definitely don't want to miss! (And the <span style="font-style: italic;">view</span>, you gotta see that too!)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Thanks so much to those of you, including Ghislaine Viñas, that alerted me to a story in the </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/25/garden/25shop.html" target="_blank">NY Times</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> this week all about turquoise.

(I'd also love to have the outfit that goes with this room...pretty sure you all would too!) I know a couple of you were looking for turquoise+white+beige bedrooms. Does this count??

The inside is just incredible, love that loft! But I don't think I've ever seen an outdoor space I love as much as this one. Those awnings are stunning, and I'd seriously KILL to have a little gazebo space like the first image. And the views don't hurt a bit either! What a dream!
