\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The cottage guest house sits on the property of Leanne’s early 1900s home purchased in Pennsylvania several years ago. When she first moved there, Leanne was drawn not to the main house, but to the small carriage home hidden on the property. She immediately fell in love with it and knew this would be a forever renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her first makeover was to preserve what was already in the home. She wanted the styling to be unique to her, but cozy for guests. The space was filled with some of the original character and pops of color. Leanne’s touch came with white painted beams and coffee-stained washed walls. Now a few years later, Leanne was ready to make the place feel more like her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought, it\u2019s time to get this back to me. I wanted to simplify. I had to undesign it.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Leanne Ford<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For this renovation, Leanne decided she needed a place that gave her visual simplicity and allowed her to focus and be creative. She painted a fresh coat of paint in Natural White<\/a><\/em> throughout – leaving some of the original home stylings from her first renovation in place. The combination of the Natural White hue with Leanne\u2019s s<\/a>ignature coffee-stained walls<\/a>, imperfect coats, and rustic painted furnishing freshened up the space without losing its warmth and country-cottage feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay to change your mind…a home isn\u2019t stagnant, and there\u2019s major power in a fresh coat of white paint.\u201d \u2013 Leanne Ford<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The living room is welcoming and fresh. The large windows bring in light, highlighting the warmth of the Natural White hue. Leanne\u2019s tonal color palette of creamy whites with beige accents set the mood for the whole house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the dining area, added touches of distressed furniture keep the cottage feel. The room is grounded with a warm neutral rug, and oversized round lights that play well with the Natural White hue that is painted on the walls, trim, and ceilings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The kitchen is bright and simple. Not overdone with cabinets, but instead filled with beautiful, gray-scaled landscape scenes that complement the freshly painted walls. The reflection of the paint’s sheen allows the light to bounce from it and slightly elevates the rustic feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Natural White lights up the stairway. The use of different materials warms up the space inviting you to the upstairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The painted brick and rustic beams, imperfectly done, allow the home’s original character to come through. The mix of materials creates personality in the bedroom. Natural White brightens the room but also keeps the feeling relaxed and comforting, perfect for a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love cottage style. I\u2019m constantly walking the line between preserving a home\u2019s bones and making it my own. I love doing imperfect.\u201d  \u2013 Leanne Ford<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe cottage now feels so clean and peaceful, a place where I can truly be creative. Before, it didn\u2019t feel complete. And now it does.\u201d \u2013 Leanne Ford<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
