There is something special – magical – about a house that is truly a home and not a place keeper for the next occupant. I don’t know about you but I am past tired of the mentality of decorating a home just to entice the next owner. When you realize that almost every new owner rips out everything the prior owner did to put their own mark on the place you really have to wonder… At least I hope you do.

Shelby’s Cottage is one of those rare YouTube channels devoted to making her (their) house a home. Their home. Colors, decor, window treatments, and all the other odds and ends that make a house a home.

They recently completed the addition of a breakfast nook and I have to tell you I love it! Check it out:

Comfortable seating. Pleasant lighting. Useful and attractive window treatments. This one has everything including accommodating the cats.

I also appreciate that it is a well thought out space. Every inch has been considered. It is a fully functioning space.

Wish I had room in my home for one!
