lbroghammer How do you like the ladder vs stairs? We are trying to decide if we should make living room larger and put in ladder rather than stairs.

I love the soft color of the vertical board walls -- can you please share the paint color? - You have made this little cottage so light, airy and cheery inside! I have been STR-UGGLING trying to find a softer color to complement our existing navy drapes, white woodwork and mixed woods. So I would really, really appreciate any info you can provide on this wall color! Thanks so much! »

About the ceiling/roof-- - Is the ceiling in the loft the underside of the roof? If so, what happens to the nails from the roof shingles? If not, how do you get the look and provide ventilation for the roofing materials? I love this look for my 1920s cottage. Thanks »

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Laura Gaskill to Easy Green: 10 Tiny Homes That Live Large

The Houzz: Spruce Street CottageBy: Koch Architects, Joanne KochTip: Maximize loft space.This cottage makes excellent use of space with a loft reached by a ladder and with built-in cupboards, a sink and closets below.

added by Samantha Schoech to Loft Beds Give Rooms a Lift

A backyard guest cottage. Why just give them a bed and bath when you can put the bedroom in the rafters and give them a kitchen too?

added by Rachel Grace to Heighten a Room With Vertical Tongue and Groove Wall Paneling

Tongue and groove walls and ceilings of 1-by-6 painted pine join with exposed beams in this bright, architecturally rich guest cottage.
