My husband Steve and I bought our little Arizona, USA cottage-style home (all 748 SF of it!) in 2018 and as longtime DIY-ers we enjoy working on it together as an ongoing and ever-changing creative project. Steve likes doing the assembly of furnishings, painting, repurposing, and handyman things and I source the decorative goods, come up with most decorating ideas, and plan organizing and cleaning strategies. Together cozily AT HOME is our favorite place to be (when we are not traveling to cute towns around the USA where I photograph adorable cottages and red church doors and we enjoy eating at charming little bistros that we happen upon.)  Click on photos below to enlarge and I hope you enjoy the tour and/or that we inspire you to create a "dollarwise cottage lifestyle" of your own!
