1930’s Cottage Style Summer Home Tour
Hey friends! Today I want to share our cottage style home with you during my favorite season of the year – summer time!
Maybe you’ve noticed, maybe not – but I haven’t shared anything here on the blog since late June. I hate to say it’s because “I’ve been so busy” or that “I haven’t had the time”…while both of those things are partially true, I guess I definitely could have made the time. I just chose not to.
At the beginning of summer I was bound and determined to continue sharing here and creating new content, but something happened and I decided it was okay to take a small break. This is the only summer that my boys will be 6, 3 and 1…the only one.
So we’ve been busy alright…busy fishing, busy swimming at the pool, busy going for bike rides, busy visiting grandparents, busy going to the park, busy playing on the beach…you get the idea, ha! Looking back, I don’t regret it. 🙂
Anyway before the summer ends I want to share our home with you guys, after all this is my favorite time of year. I know it’s backwards and I should have shared this back in June, but that’s okay.
Grab some lemonade and come on in! Hope you enjoy! 🙂
You can see the full tour of our entryway here!

I don’t think I’ve shown you all our new (to me) coffee table yet. I plan to write a post about it, but it was a FB marketplace find! I stripped it down and I just love the beautiful patina it has now!
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I made the sign above my couch earlier this spring. I had the wood in my basement already, and I always thought it would make such a great sign! “Francavilla” is our last name and since we have three boys, “& Sons” just seemed to fit!
I get asked about our white chairs all the time – so I wrote a whole post about them!
I recently found this old crate at an antique store, isn’t it beautiful? The owner said it came from a greenhouse nearby. I love using it as a centerpiece on my table!
This vintage cow print was a $7 estate sale find, you need to head over to Instagram to see the before photo! It was damaged and torn but I love how it shines in this new frame.
And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed our cottage style summer home tour! What is your favorite part about summer time?

Andrea, great video! The house flows seamlessly from the picket fence and purple flowers in to all of the inside rooms. Everything is so inviting and beautiful.
Thank you for opening up your home through the video:)
Hugs,

Oh my goodness thank you Rachelle! That was such a sweet comment. 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour! 🙂
Love your style! I stumbled across your blog from Pinterest and was excited to find that you have the same crown molding as me. What do you call it? The coved molding. Thanks in advance!
Hey Kelsey!! Thank you so much! 🙂 They are the original plaster ceilings from when the home was built, I’m not sure of the name! I was told that a mold was used to get the coved effect. It’s pretty neat isn’t it? I love ours! 🙂
I am so glad I happened upon your site through Pinterest. Your home is beautiful. Warm, inviting, comforting…adjectives go on in my mind. Thank you for sharing your inspiring ideas! I am so glad I found you,
Oh Sherry that is such a sweet comment!! I am so glad to have you here!! Thank you for following along! 🙂 It means so so much 🙂
Your tour was lovely! Can you tell me somewhere if you have posted your white wall colors , trim colors and any DIY‘s that you might have done?
Hello, I have a lot of the colors I use in this post, I hope this helps! https://www.pineandprospecthome.com/paint-colors-in-our-cottage-style-home/ Thank you so much for your kind words! There is also a search bar on the right hand side of any of my blog posts, simply search DIY and you will be able to find all of my projects!
Hi Andrea, new follower here. I’m so enamored with your coffee table that I’m reading & searching through your older blog posts to try to find a name for it, or manufacturer. Is that listed somewhere? I’ve searched everywhere. Your home is simply stunning!
