I like the bumpouts, they add a pleasing visual breakup of the lines.

thank you all.  the bump outs were added for a little more space. the two bedrooms are in the back of the cabin, the smaller bump-out  are the two bedroom closet. the larger bump-out is for the bathroom. the cabin is a little over 768 sq feet, which is the smallest the county would allow. for a small cabin it feels large, it has 2 bedrooms (10x12) a large bathroom (about 6x8) first floor ult closet, and a larger 20x18 great room. the cabin is all electric. 220 baseboard heat, with a vermont casting intrepid wood stove. it was built with a tight budget, final cost under 25,000. 47,000 with the land. the only contractors hired were for the well, drain field, roof and drywall. next summer a 10x18 loft will be added. by the way the roof is built from trusses.  older pic are posted here https://s267.photobucket.com/albums/ii309/larrystan/cottage/ (https://s267.photobucket.com/albums/ii309/larrystan/cottage/)
