Want to throw away everything in your house away and start over? After reading Layla Palmer’s blog, The Lettered Cottage, you will have plenty of inspiration to start over. Gorgeous decor, DIY, a chronicle of their adoption story. Welcome Layla!


The Lettered Cottage blog is chock full of affordable, traditional and cottage-style design ideas, inspirational posts, and wacky home video footage of our renovation, decoration, and good time adventures!
I stumbled onto a couple of beautiful home-renovation/decorating blogs and I was instantly hooked! I had to have one!
Mother Nature and Father Time. The colors and textures found outdoors, and the items and patinas found in flea markets are what really get my pulse a-racin’!
Because it’s such a fun way to document our journey, and meet other folks with similar interests. Also, because I love writing and sharing photos & design ideas.
Probably dealing with negative comments…and anything that has to do with coding or widgets. :-)
The most rewarding aspect has been that I get to work in the design field with my husband! (I never would have imagined that!) The other most rewarding aspect has been all the friends we’ve made. There’s such an amazing community of super-talented, caring and inspiring people out there!
Like Nike says, JUST DO IT! :-) And have WAY TOO MUCH FUN with it!
I read SO many different blogs, for so many different reasons. A lot of adoption blogs, because we’re entering into the adoption process. A lot of home blogs, because I love to see all the loveliness everyone is creating out there. I also read a lot of motivational and positivity type blogs because I just can’t seem to get enough of that kind of reading!
Who knows! We’re definitely fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants type peeps, and one of our favorite things about blogging is that it’s a process of discovery- and there’s excitement in not knowing what you’re going to reveal about yourself, or your surroundings, from one day to the next!
I do have an e-book available at LaylaPalmer.com. It’s called Creating An Inspired Home.
