This charming cottage in West Petaluma, California is filled with vintage pieces and antiques, a sort of "global flea market style with influence from Japan, France and India." The kitchen seems very restful: a large wooden table anchors the room, while lovely earth-toned ceramics are put on display in cabinet cubbies. The subtle yet show-stopping element, though, is the wall of photos. As one commenter said, "there is great tranquility and intimacy here." We couldn't agree more!
