A Dreamy Retreat in the Heart of the Forest
Welcome to my blog! Today I want to share with you the story of a special retreat that we built with my family deep in the forest.
It all started with a regular vacation on the beautiful Estonian coast. Walking along the edge of a pine forest, we stumbled upon a hidden gem - an old and slightly dilapidated cottage. Although the house itself still needed work, its surroundings were breathtakingly beautiful. The forest floor was covered in a carpet of blueberries, and the air was filled with the quiet whisper of pine trees.
We immediately felt that this place needed a cozy retreat where we could enjoy the beauty and peace of nature. Using old lumber from a shed and boards removed from the walls of the house, we built a cozy outdoor kitchen. For the roof,we added a transparent material so that the rays of light could freely enter. We painted the entire retreat white to create a spacious and airy atmosphere.
From a thrift store, we found lovely curtains and kitchen utensils that added warmth and personality to the atmosphere.We sewed the pillows ourselves from old clothes, giving them new life and adding a unique character to the interior.
Now this retreat is our family's favorite place, where we spend time eating, playing and enjoying the peace of the forest.It is a place where we can forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and feel connected to nature.
If you also have a dream retreat in your heart, I encourage you to take action! Use your creativity and recycling to create a wonderful oasis for yourself where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Some tips for creating your dream retreat:
- Use your existing resources. Look around your home and garden for materials that you can reuse in your project.
- Be creative. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors, materials, and styles.
- Add personality. Use items that mean something to you to create a cozy and unique retreat.
- Enjoy the process! Building a retreat is a fun and rewarding experience.
