When I saw Tricia’s home pics, I was totally drawn in to her casual, farmhouse style that she has put together so well. Reading Tricia’s story, her family 6 decided to build a house , but they didn’t want a huge house. They picked a floor plan, modified it to fit their family and their family of 6 resides in a just under 2,000 s.f. cottage of a home that lives big. I think you’ll enjoy this beautiful new family home. She calls it the Little Cottage on the Pond and it’s a beautiful space. Tricia’s style is warm and eclectic and she’s done a fabulous job of making it her own.
Tricia is mom to 4, a former school teacher, and now full time painter of furniture with her own business. I love that!
Coming in the entry way. Love that front door, so unusual!
Tricia has incorporated so many unique things in her home, like this map on the foyer ceiling and the eclectic chandy. Beautiful!

Another vignette around her house.
Love this sign, an ode to her dachshund. I’ve had 2 dachshunds in my life before, they are sweet dogs.
The cozy living room.
Pretty bookcase/cabinet.
The kitchen is so beautiful with open shelving and white cabinets.
Open view to the living room.
Eating area in the kitchen.
Master bedroom with calming neutrals.
Such a pretty space.
Another of Tricia’s pretty painted pieces.
A skirted table in the bathroom.
Corner tub with beadboard surround.
Boy’s bunk room. Check out the industrial pipes that it’s made with.
Boy’s closet neatly organized.
Her daughter’s room.
The kid’s bathroom.
Tricia is also a great DIYer, along with her hubby and they made a beautiful Ballard inspired headboard for only $75. Very impressive.
And this mirror from Kirklands got a new paint treatment, giving it a high-end look.
I know you enjoyed the tour of Tricia’s home as much as I did. Little Cottage on the Pond’s tag line is “living big in a small house”. I totally think Tricia achieved that concept perfectly in her home.
What a gorgeous home and I LOVE all the details. Plus that desk is…I don’t even have a word for it but I LOOOOOVE it! Pinning 🙂

She has a lot of great details. I liked the bed she and her husband made. I would need more color, though.
Love her home! Beautiful!! Especially love that skirted vanity – so unique. She is very talented.

I love Tricia’s skirted vanity as well as her neutral bedroom. It looks so calming and peaceful. And that front door is amazing. I’m going to hop on over to her blog to see if I can find out more about that door!
Absolutely Charming! I’m ready to move in!!! One of my FAVORITE Featured Friday’s yet!!!
What a sweet home for a young family. I was hooked as soon as I read Little Cottage On the Pond- just adorable!
Thank you Rhoda for the lovely feature- and thank you for the sweet comments 🙂 I’ve felt special all day!
I just discovered Little Cottage on the Pond today. I love her eclectic style…especially the cute kitchen! I’m glad I have found your blog as well! Thank you for sharing.
Lovely home tour. So many beautiful details…that map on the ceiling, the desk, the kitchen…I could go on and on. Thank you for sharing 🙂
What a beautiful home. I have to say, it completely blows my mind that there are people who consider a home of almost 2,000 square feet to be little or small. I guess people’s perceptions have been skewed by seeing a lot of McMansions?
I think they have been skewed by the larger homes- at least here in Texas they are! Most of the houses directly around us are 3,000 sq.ft. plus. We opted to take a three bedroom and modify it a bit to a four bedroom. We know that once the kids are grown and gone (except for Sara!) we will find a much smaller “cottage” (1,000 sq.ft. or less) to call home.
Love Tricia’s home and her many creative touches…love the map on the ceiling!…and the beautiful painted furniture…and I am so glad that I am not the only one who has placed their bed in the bay window area!!! Love it!….Thanks Rhoda for presenting Tricia’s home to us!..so enjoyed the tour!
Ooooooo love this home! Makes me miss all my neutrals as I continue to add color everywhere.
