 THE COLORADO COTTAGE: Creating a Home to Match the Garden
"My house and garden, together, is the size of your thumb," says
Lawrie Diack Wilson about her 1,200 square-foot cottage and surrounding garden. As individual as a
thumbprint, as intimate as the palm of her hand, Lawrie’s home is a patch of
whimsy, a storybook setting on a handkerchief-sized plot of land.
Twenty-two years ago, when Lawrie spent a year looking for a house she could
afford, she knew that restoring a turn-of-the-century cottage was right for her.
Even before the popular trend in country and cottage homes, Lawrie imagined
herself designing a garden that would surround and embellish a small cottage.
