Learn more about Cottage Living and Style, from our mission statement, our content, and our founder.
Cottage Living and Style is a home and lifestyle site that delivers useful, actionable advice and inspiration for people looking to raise a family and create a home in a small town.
Cottage Living and Style teaches and motivates readers to make a house a home through renovation, home decor, styling advice, and home improvement tips.
You’ll find easy recipes for families who want a quick meal or a tasty treat for the kids because it’s not always easy to get delivery. Hosting and entertaining friends and family are the keys to a happy, soulful-filled life. Which is why we share tons of tips, tablescapes, and advice for hostesses.
We know access to activities for kids can be limited in small towns, which is why we share fun activities for kids regardless of the season or age. Plus, there are a ton of ideas for families who want to enjoy some quality time together.
“Small towns are filled with soul, fresh air and warmth. They are the best place to lay your roots and raise a family”

FOUNDER + EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Stephanie Vainer
Stephanie is an Indigenous woman, mother, and writer behind Cottage Living & Style. In 2017 she and her husband moved out of their city apartment and back to the small town they both grew up in. They found a three-bedroom bungalow to raise their children in and decided to turn their cottage country house into a home for their family. Shortly after, Cottage Living and Style was created to help serve other families who are moving out of the city, either back to their roots or starting new ones.
Stephanie is an Ojibwe woman who grew up on a Native Reservation which is located on a small island in Georgian Bay. She regularly shares about her unique upbringing and Indigenous culture on Instagram and here on the blog.
