Exterior Lighting at the Poplar Cottage!
THE POPLAR COTTAGE
The exterior lighting is up at the Poplar Cottage! We picked out classic dome lights for this house, in a beautiful copper finish. We actually bought these fixtures 4 years ago, so it’s been a dream come true to see them installed! They’re simple, classic, and functional - the perfect combination for this little cottage. Have a look…

She’s a cutie, right?!
I loved this light so much that I picked out the exact same sconce for the Farmhouse last year. They looked perfect on that much-grander, historic white beauty, too. I’m a if-you-love-something-use-it-again-and-again kinda gal, so these versatile lights are getting as much wear as my Levis 😉
With Fall weather on the horizon, I also added doormats on each deck. I scoured the internet for a large-ish braided/lovers-knot/rope-knot doormat and this was by far the best deal I could find with positive reviews. And then I layered it on this Target rug (in 3x5) and added pumpkins and mums, because…Fall!!!
Some of you may remember that we did, in fact, already have these lights installed, but we had to take them down when we added a second story and resided the house. Well they’re finally back up and I’m in love!
Here’s a wider view of the second entrance for those of you who have asked to see more of the exterior. This ‘back’ door leads into what will be a laundry/mudroom. We have more siding to do, but she’s getting there!
