I love your adorable cottage and I love Nova Scotia!!!!!

Where is it located?

I actually like it. It gives the front of the house a bit of depth. Imagine if it were all the same length as on the left? It would be pretty boring.
I would cut down the hedge to just below the windows and add a silver rain-chain to add a bit of sparkle plus it would tie into that shiny silver chimney. Also, add shutters in a pop of color. All pretty much low-cost options. Cute cottage!

The house is located in Port Mouton, N.S., not too far from liverpool. It's just 1 mile from the Ocean which was the reason we bought it. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I was going to cut down the bush and enlarge the left window but that was all I'd come up with.

Fantastic! What a great location!

My favorite nanny came from Middle Musquodoboit.
She took to me to her parents home that was over 130 years old and in exceptionally good condition.

You're right. The old houses are amazing. I love the colors of houses in nova scotia.

I don't think it's the roof that's throwing you off. I think it's the roof hanging over that tiny window, with so much wall left below. Try a bigger window, or, like the lake house posted above, a slider/french doors. Or add landscaping to soften it up. Cool place!

So cute! I agree that it is not odd, but ifn fact interesting. Perhaps you could remove the giant bush and build a small deck to widen the entrance area. It would be lovely to sit out there at night on some comfortable chairs with a nice cool drink.

bond girl: I am going to remove that bush. I can't make a slider because the kitchen is behind it. I am going to make a bigger window. Everyone seems consistent on a deck so that's probably the way to go. I will wait to see if any other ideas come in.
