Inside a French-Inspired Cottage in the Heart of Texas

Located between Austin and San Antonio is a quaint tiny house known as Yellow Rose Cottage. Inspired by her love of restoration and recycled materials, Sherry McKinley decided to lean into the French influence of her vintage and antique finds while decorating the 460 sq ft home. The resulting aesthetic is breathtaking and truly one-of-a-kind, featuring reclaimed windows, a found-stone fireplace, and elegant gold touches throughout. Building this tiny house in the heart of Texas Hill Country took a little over nine months and about $95,000, but the satisfaction from it has been a priceless highlight of retirement.
