Living in a cottage can be a challenge as space is at a premium. My lounge (above) in my previous house was bigger than the ground floor of my cottage before it was extended. I had 13 rooms and oodles of storage space.
I now have cupboards in the first floor hallway
One of them is even a laundry which contains my washing machine and tumble drier, inside them all the ceilings slope down making it even more of a challenge.
I keep some of my
Ghost Furniture paints behind these curtains in the guest bedroom.
Our Summer or Winter clothes take turns in being stored in these vintage suitcases
I have 4 deep drawers froma vintage dressing table, painted and used as book shelves.
I even use the top of the pelmet in my bedroom for storing my Hermes scarves and old books
and God kows what I would do without my huge leather ottoman that holds all our bed linens of which I have plenty.

My mum's storage really does rock... Not sure why haven't enlisted you into our rabbit hutch house mind! X
Hello, just come across your lovely site. Your cottage looks gorgeous - I love the natural wooden doors. I don't have a beautiful cottage, but space in my home is an issue. Your solutions are brilliant, so artistic, the suitcases are a real feature and i'd never have thought of using drawers as shelves, I also agree that ottomans are fab - stylish and 'useful'.
