Tiny Cottage Kitchenette Design Ideas: Mood Board for Parents’ Addition

We’re adding a tiny cottage to the back of our home for my parents. If you missed it, I shared an update with photos of the progress on the addition in a previous post.

Today I’m sharing a design mood board for their kitchenette. They’ve chosen the sweetest pieces, and I love that the space will be both highly functional and charming.
