Tegan is a 30-year-old Advanced Nurse Practitioner, but she always had a passion for fashion/textiles. That comes out so clearly in her Scottish Cottage renovation! She and her partner moved in a few years ago, and since they spent all their savings on the rural cottage itself, they’ve been slowly DIY-ing the entire renovation.
Confessions: All white interiors tend to stress me out. I miss the cozy warmth of wood and deep hues. But somehow Tegan managed to make this cottage so home-y and inviting with a light color palette. It belongs in the finest of home/cottage magazines! Enjoy the photo tour and make sure to follow her work on Instagram.

Tegan built that door herself! She says that’s when she fell in love with power tools.

It covers the hallway to the conservatory (that’s not yet renovated).

Beautiful! The door is amazing. Talented lady. I love your home.
So beautiful! Well done! I would never thought of using wool for curtains but I am in love with the plaid curtains in the hallway. Love how light and bright it is. A good idea when you live somewhere that rains quite a bit. Inspiring!
Yes and I imagine they’d be great for keeping cool air out as well.
Your place is gorgeous! It’s looks very professional and could be in a magazine! Beautiful job! Susan
Completely agree!
To heck with the door (not really). Look at that gorgeous dog!
I was really hoping for a video on this one. What a beautiful home. I can’t get over the before and after pictures of the kitchen. She really did a knockout job.
I wish she had a video tour, too! It looks amazing.
As I am getting older and planning for the future, I have been watching Tiny House designs for several years. There are lots of great ideas out there but Tegan’s hard work and beautiful design has captured my heart. Her home is so warm and inviting that just sitting at my computer and glancing through the photos excites my imagination. During these stressful and somewhat lonely days we all experience due to CV-19, I find that her design brings me joy. I can almost feel the love which abides there. If she ever gets burnout from her career she may want to consider design. Her home is perfect.
I completely agree, Vicki! There is something truly magical about her home. It brings such peace!
