Inside a French-Inspired Cottage in the Heart of Texas | Tiny House Style | Better Homes & Gardens

Published 2022-06-01
Located between Austin and San Antonio is a quaint tiny house known as Yellow Rose Cottage. Inspired by her love of restoration and recycled materials, Sherry McKinley decided to lean into the French influence of her vintage and antique finds while decorating the 460 sq ft home. The resulting aesthetic is breathtaking and truly one-of-a-kind, featuring reclaimed windows, a found-stone fireplace, and elegant gold touches throughout. Building this tiny house in the heart of Texas Hill Country took a little over nine months and about $95,000, but the satisfaction from it has been a priceless highlight of retirement.

    Inspired by this homeowner and her emphasis on older windows, sinks, etc...I miss quality and craftsmanship in homes from times gone by. Very pretty home. Thank you for sharing.

    Old windows with counterweights are stellar. I was blessed to have those in my apartment as a college student. I wish windows were all made that way still--they operate so smoothly and are so very functional.
  • Im redoing my kitchen in a 50s retro style, using actual 50s stuff. The goal is to not waste and reuse and do it all for cheap. Habitat for humaity restore has been my friend!
  • Your are a dream. This cottage came out beautiful. There is nothing like antique and vintage pieces. I too save old windows. They are wonderful. Thanks for showing your gorgeous Yellow rose of Texas.💛
  • @rmonson5002
    Well she and that cottage are about the most adorable thing I've seen all week! I LOVE those windows too. So glad she is saving and reclaiming these gems before they are all gone!
  • Anyone else struck by her stunning beauty and smarts?!? I just love her style and reuse of antiques. Smart and beautiful both the cottage and the owner.

    You might consider a SolaTube in the bath. They don't allow heat or cold, like a skylight, but provide a tremendous amount of natural daylight. Some come with a solar night light for evening as well. We've installed three over the years and they are WONDERFUL.

    What a beautiful French house!! You did a fantastic job; and what a fun thing to do in retirement:) My husband and I decorate together all the time. One of the most poignant things we did is when we decorated a guest bedroom while he had very serious cancer. We thought he would be going on to glory bc the cancer was very aggressive and he was only given a 3 to 6 months to live, basically palliative treatment until he passed. After many prayers from many people, his cancer changed mid treatment!! A miracle really!! So, now, almost 7 years later, we’re still decorating!! Thanks be to God!!! We’re thinking about a guest house next!! This gives me a lot of inspiration!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!! God bless!!

  • @kaseys7433
    Yes!! Love that she is reusing pieces where possible. Such a beautiful and unique look!
  • This is by far my most favorite tiny home I have seen in all the years I have been watching these videos. It's gorgeous!!!
  • @carolc2574
    This “tiny” house is bigger than my apartment! I miss a table and chairs to share a meal, though. The exterior and the decor are absolutely beautiful
  • Gorgeous, just lovely & love the name “yellow rose cottage” 💖🌻
  • @lulub1433
    I love that you have a walk-in bedroom. Such a nice feature in a tiny house!
