We have more facade options of this design:
Black Exterior with White Trim
The house decided to embrace its dark side and now sports a bold black exterior with crisp white trim. Talk about drama!
The previously subtle facade now pops like a tuxedo at a garden party, with those white outlines framing the windows and door like a picture-perfect Instagram filter.
No hiding in the woods now—the new color palette gives this cottage major main-character energy. The natural wood door and window grilles stand out even more, like caramel squares against a chalkboard.
If this house were a fashionista, it just upgraded from cozy to catwalk-ready.
Pale Yellow Exterior Color
This house just ditched its old look for a cheerful wardrobe change—the facade is now painted a dreamy pale yellow.
No more blending in with the trees; this place is catching sunlight like it’s its full-time job. The new hue brings an instant sense of warmth and charm, like a lemonade stand you can actually live in.
Framed by rich wooden trims and a boldly welcoming front door, the yellow exterior makes even the surrounding greenery look extra lush. The architecture stays classic with its steep gabled roof and symmetrical front, but that soft yellow makes the whole house appear sunnier, brighter, and determined to be the friendliest face on the block.
Pale Blue Exterior Color
Forget the old colors—this charming house is now rocking a dreamy pale blue exterior that practically beams with cheerfulness.
The new hue instantly gives the facade a softer, breezier vibe, as if it’s constantly expecting a compliment from passing clouds. The crisp white trim pops even more, making those warm wooden windows and door look like they’re framed by a gentle watercolor sky.
This color swap didn’t just brighten the day, it made the architecture feel even more storybook-cute. The steep gable roof, front porch, and classic symmetrical layout suddenly seem extra inviting, as if the house is inviting you in for a lemonade and a friendly gossip with the hydrangeas.
Pale blue really does turn up the charm dial—all the way to eleven!
Red Exterior with Black Trim
Well, somebody took a bold leap with the paintbrush! The house is now a vivid red, turning the whole facade into a showstopper.
Those black trims are now sharper than a tuxedo at a barn dance, outlining every window and door like they’re too cool for any other invite.
The front pops against the green landscape, making the home look both classic and mischievous—like a cozy gingerbread cottage with just a hint of rock-and-roll edge. The fresh contrast between the fiery red siding and the dramatic black accents means this little house doesn’t just whisper “look at me”—it basically yells it from the rooftop.
Natural Wood Board Siding
Forget the old facade—this house just leveled up its charm game with natural wood boards replacing whatever plain siding it had before.
Now the whole exterior glows with the warmth of rustic timber, as if the house decided to wrap itself in a cozy plaid shirt and call it a day. Even the windows and front door are suddenly framed in matching wood, making everything look intentionally earthy.
Those crisp lines of horizontal wood bring major cabin-in-the-woods energy, turning the once-ordinary structure into the sort of place where you’d expect freshly baked cookies, a roaring fire, and maybe a curious squirrel peeking in. Who needs stone or vinyl when your walls are basically hugging the forest?
Rustic Wood Shingle Siding
Forget the old siding—this house got a shingle shuffle! Rustic wood shingles now blanket the entire facade, making the place look like it’s auditioning for a forest fairytale, or perhaps just trying to out-charm the local chipmunks.
Every inch of the front now radiates cozy cabin energy, with textured, sun-kissed panels giving the home a timeless, woodsy vibe.
The once-smooth exterior is gone, replaced with a weathered, layered look that practically begs you to roast marshmallows nearby. Paired with those perky gables and warm wood-framed windows, the shingles bring serious storybook magic—like Hansel and Gretel’s summer house (sans candy).
Nature called, and this facade definitely answered!
Inside the House
Our interior designs for this house.
Cozy Small Farmhouse Cottage Living Room with Modern Farmhouse Style
A cozy living room greets visitors with modern farmhouse flair and a comforting, lived-in vibe. The color palette is a symphony of warm neutrals—soft whites and creams balanced with rich brown wood.
Architectural details shine through with classic wood trim framing the door and windows, inviting just the right amount of nostalgia while whispering, “Yes, I have character.”
Walls remain crisp and white, expanding the sense of space, while natural light floods in from double-hung windows fitted with tidy white Roman shades. Honey-toned hardwood floors stretch out beneath a plush area rug, leading eyes to a rustic coffee table with weathered charm.
A plump white sofa and a perfectly positioned side table, topped with a stack of books and a petite plant, amp up the comfort factor.
Accessories like a ceramic vase with sprigs of green and a lantern with a chunky candle add a punch of personality. Even the plants look like they’re having a great day in here.
