    Hi Lizzy,
    Could you share with me who the artist is of the fishing painting in your House Crush No. 46 story, I would love to have something similar for our cabin.

    If I were a lady of means I would own this cottage, since I’m not I can only dream, and what a dream it is! I’m dreaming of a night of hot chocolate and popcorn on one of the porches!

    Sweet Dreams,

    1. Sana, Thank you! Anyone can do the same thing in their own home. Just paint the walls white, add colorful furnishings and don’t forget the accessories—books, flowers, colorful pillows and small personal items to make it feel like home. Enjoy.
