Neat & Tidy Cottage Homestyle Edition

My little one rings the bell every single time before "visiting" me through the half-door—it's become our favorite daily ritual. The open windows let me watch her play from the kitchen, and she's already figured out how to peek through them to wave.

The half-door is just the right height for my 2-year-old to open and close herself; she spends ages ringing the bell before she "lets me in.

My toddler loves peeking through the windows, and the half-door is perfect for their little hands. The open design lets me keep an eye on them while they play, though I wish the bell was a bit louder.
