Scottish homes look lovely outside but the internals are poor. Compared to say a Cornish holiday home, they’re dull and cheaply furnished

[@CalleStreet-ym1jp]

This is a boring new build used as a commercial holiday home though. Not representative of original Scottish cottages that when renovated and furnished are both authentic and aesthetically pleasing.

Beautifully done and efficient, looks very cosy.

It really is!, Thanks

Well done. It shows that we don’t have to have a modern eyesore. I love what you have done

[@markgollan]

Thank you

People have always said that about new designed homes since time in memorial. If things did not change and evolve we would still be living in caves in mud huts.
