Your most grueling work, done at the push of a button.

A covered porch runs the width of this cottage, with a chair on either side of a sage-green front door. Flower-filled window boxes brighten the front windows, and a stone walkway curves across the lawn to the steps.

Inside, a brick fireplace with a wood mantel anchors the living room between a pair of tall windows. Wide-plank wood floors run the length of the room, and the hearth makes an easy gathering spot on a quiet evening.

A ring chandelier hangs above the dining table, and sage wainscoting runs around the room beneath a white chair rail. A wide window lights the table by day, and the chandelier takes over for long dinners that run into the evening.

A vaulted ceiling with a ceiling fan lifts the primary bedroom, and a window beside the bed looks out on the treetops. Matching nightstands and lamps flank the upholstered headboard, framing the bed as the room’s calm center.

A wood double vanity with a white counter sits under two round mirrors in the primary bath. Beside it, a glass walk-in shower with a rain head and white subway tile keeps the room open and bright.

Warm sconces glow beside two round mirrors above a wood double vanity in the primary bath, a calm place to start each morning. Next to it, a glass walk-in shower in white subway tile waits under a rain head for the end of the day.

Built-in shelves frame a cushioned window seat in the second bedroom, a bright corner for reading through a slow afternoon. Wood floors run beneath a round rug, and the sage accent wall gives the room a calm, settled feel.

A wide window over the desk looks out on greenery, giving the office a calm outlook through the workday. Sage built-in shelving lines one wall, and wide-plank floors keep the room warm underfoot.

Sage cabinets line the laundry room above a white folding counter set over a front-load washer and dryer. Checkered tile floors and a window over the utility sink keep the room bright.

Out back, a raised wood deck steps down to a fenced lawn edged with raised garden beds. String lights loop above the deck rail, ready for dinners outside that stretch on after dark.
