Welcome to Simple Cottage Living!
I believe in being open and honest with my readers, so I want to explain how this website is supported.
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. I also participate in other affiliate programs, including retailers and companies whose products I genuinely use and recommend.
My Promise to You
Your trust means everything to me.
I will never recommend a product simply because it pays a commission.
Every recommendation on Simple Cottage Living falls into one of these categories:
✔ I personally own and use it.
✔ I have thoroughly researched it and would confidently purchase it myself.
✔ It has been recommended by professionals or trusted sources that I respect.
If I don’t believe in a product, it won’t appear here.
Why I Use Affiliate Links
Creating helpful articles, photographing projects, filming videos, maintaining my website, and producing free content takes many hours every week.
When you shop through one of my links, you’re helping support Simple Cottage Living at no additional cost to you.
Your support allows me to continue sharing DIY projects, renovation tutorials, gardening tips, organization ideas, and honest reviews from my little Vermont cottage.
Thank you for being here.
It truly means more than you know.
