Big Tuna Cottage Makes Big Changes...




There once was a house that was going to be torn down....it was recycled into a wonderful cottage with an amazing view. It is now for  sale and if I didn't have 99 steps to the beach cottage, I would buy it right now. It is on a great lot and now has a big walk in closet, a new kitchen, bath, deck and a fresh coat of paint and happiness!!www.solomonproperties.org 
                                                                           
                                                                                    looks pretty pitiful at it's original home
                                                                     headed to its new home on old highway 80 on Tybee

                                                                                                 what do you think?

Before's and After's in the Cottage World


I ran across this while looking for a before shot of a cottage in my 7,000 photo insanity.This is Fish Camp Cottage and my home for 8 years.It was a disaster but I loved it even in  it's state of disaster.There was serious magic lurking there and I was drawn to it's soul.
the first photo was the cover of Cottage Living magazine ( the greatly missed magazine)
I matched my favorite blouse to pick the color(which is now part of my cottage color collection janecoslickcottagecollection.com


FAVORITE BLOUSE BLUE
COTTAGE LIVING COVER

Let the styling begin.....

Elizabeth Beeler is here and staying at my office. I cant wait to see how she styles The Coral Cottage. It will be featured in an upcoming issue of  HGTV magazine.

the dining room and sun room

the living room
this piece was original to the cottage (we added the color)
what I BELIEVE

Target bed linens in Master Bedroom
twin room (I added the window with the words because it was  an original  window and to balance the wall


a great fun addition to the kitchen

compact and functional kitchen and Laundry and such fun.  Added a retro metal edge to laminate counter top

                                                      this is original to the house and it worked but I changed the color
