Hi, I'm Hannah

Making an ordinary
house extraordinary

We bought one of the cheapest houses on the market — a 1960s home untouched for 62 years. What we saw was potential. This is the story of turning it into a cozy cottage for our family.

Our Story

We bought a 1960s home that hadn't been touched in 62 years. It was one of the cheapest houses on the market — and we chose it because we saw something no one else did.

The location was perfect, the bones were solid, and we had a vision. What started as a project has become a lifestyle — and this little corner of the internet is where I share every step of that journey.

I'm Hannah Westby — wife, mom to June and Mabel, and the person behind @hannahslittlecottage on Instagram (332K of you follow along — I'm so grateful). I share DIY tutorials, renovation reveals, kids' room makeovers, and all the sourcing details you'd want.

My style is warm, cozy, and a little romantic. I love vintage doors, pine floors, limestone fireplaces, and florals everywhere. I believe your home should feel like a hug.
