2. Tiny Texas House: At only 12-by-21 feet, this miniature cottage is built to last. Using Old World techniques, the builders used refurbished windows from the 1880s and siding made from a salvaged old-growth cypress tree. (via Mother Earth Living)

3. Storybook Cottage: This delightful cottage is one of dozens of storybook homes in Carmel by the Sea. They were built in the 1890s by developer Frank Devendorf as a charming village for artists and academics. (via Velvet + Linen)

4. Garden Cottage: A true country cottage couldn’t possibly be complete without an excess of flowers in the garden. (via Tessalaarusa)

7. Chalet Gentianes: We might be stretching the cottage concept a little on this one, but this vintage French ski chalet is just too pretty not to include. (via One Kind Design)

8. Smoky Mountain Cottage: If this little nugget of a cabin isn’t enough for you, there are four others on the amazing property in the Smoky Mountains! (via Architectural Digest)
