Tricia from Little Cottage on the Pond is a Texas girl with loads of style.

No wonder Country Living will soon be featuring her home in the pages of their magazine!

Take the tour and we can all say “we knew her before all the fame”!

Curb appeal - love the brick with blue shutters kellyelko.com

She loves to display her flea market finds and made sure to have plenty of open storage space (and a pig)!

A potting shed, some ferns and a place to rest make the patio as cozy as the cottage.

Tricia has recently downsized to a cute fixer upper.  I can’t wait to see how she transforms her new home.

Be sure to stop by Little Cottage on the Pond to follow along on her renovation and check out all of her amazing furniture transformations.

P.S. Tricia and her daughter Sara are part of the Happy Soul Project – Painting Outside the Lines featuring their inspirational messages on hand painted signs which raises money for Down Syndrome awareness.

  1. It is no wonder that Tricia’s home is appearing in Country Living…she has amazing interiors…I love her home and blog!…it is filled with so much charm and incredible decor!…Love your features Kelly…have a great weekend!

  2. I have always enjoyed touring Tricia’s beautiful home . All the little pretties !! Cam hardly wait to see what she does in the new place.

  3. My dream house !! Love following your blog and imagine……I come across it accidentally on Pinterest ! Just reminds me of growing up and my grandma & Mom’s houses.

  4. Did you know that is a watchmaker’s bench in your foyer? I have my father’s, but you don’t see many anymore. Pottery Barn did a knock-off on them a few years ago, but you don’t find the vintage ones very often. Love it!

  5. On this last week of school, I must say that looking at your sweet blog is so calming! As a music teacher in an elementary school, it’s more than a little “noisy.” They are exuberant, delightful and so fun–but so noisy! Thereby, I simmer my chai latte, open up your blog and look at some of the different eclectic homes you have featured. Salve to my nerves! I will have to limit myself to a certain amount of time, come this summer, or I won’t get ANYTHING done! You are a source of peace in my less than peaceful world. Grazi!

  6. Adore the dressing table and I saw another post where the old window was placed inside of the newer window and think this one looks nice as well.
