A Tiny Backyard Cottage (progress on the addition for my parents)

My parents are currently building a darling backyard cottage , but it's attached to our new home! I'll share some progress on it and give you a little peek into some of the " tiny cottage " elements they've chosen to make this space work for them.

For years we imagined building a backyard cottage for my parents to live in near our Seattle home. That original plan didn't come to pass, but the dream is finally coming true in a different way. I'm excited to share the progress and the tiny cottage choices my parents made to make this space work for them.

Tiny Cottage , Troubles and Mishaps It all began with the addition of The Tiny Cottage for my parents . The yard was all torn up after the construction, so it would've been really nice to hire landscapers to do the whole backyard ! But other than the decks (which the contractors built), we decided to just work on the rest of it ourselves.
