Well, you have made it all around our cottage.
There is one last place I haven't shown you yet. Here it is:
The last part of the cottage is our back deck. We spend a part of every day out here. I guess you could call it our summer "Dining Room". We eat out here most evenings, play cards, or watch the kids on their swing set. It is one of the most peaceful spots around. You hear the birds chirping, the frogs croaking, and you see the squirrels running from tree to tree to tree.
Of course, there is a spot for showering.
The back deck is where we spend a lot of time-eating, reading, and showering...Yes, read it again.
Showering.
We installed a hot/cold shower on the back deck so after a day at the beach, the sand stays outside, and not where I need to clean it up.
The water falls on our blueberry and raspberry plants and they are fantastically huge by end of July.
So it is a win-win. My house stays clean, and the plants are watered.
We maximize every bit of the cottage and the outdoors. If you see someone under the age of five, there maybe nudity involved so, the following sign is reallly for them. (Gotta get the sand out of all the cracks and crevices!) Everyone else must keep their bathing suits on! (Please!!)

I loved seeing the outside space at your cottage. The deck area looks a perfect place to enjoy summer. It looks such a beautiful woodland setting there with lots of shade from the trees. The shower is a great idea.
Thanks for sharing more of your wonderful cottage and perfect summer.
