The future bedroom

 

Soon to be the kitchen

 

Some of the original windows and doors and walls

Here are some interior shots of the cottage. My favorite doors are the horizonal 4 or 5 panel (they usually end up in the dumpster of most renovations.)
KEEP THE OLD DOORS AND ORIGINAL HARDWARE)
The interior walls were covered with 1x4 v-goove pine boards or 1x6 double beaded boards. how great is that...even if the pink is so strong..that is the reason they invented paint.

 

Saved and coming back to life

 

This is a photo of my newest project. A small cottage that was slated for "updating" (once done the wonderful cottage would not have been recognizable). The roof line was scheduled to change ,the wavy glass old window were being thrown in the dumpster ,and the wonderful screen porch was to become a glassed sun room.
How thrilled I was to be ask to advise the family and help guide the process to what will be an amazing cottage.
There is a story of love and hope in this cottage that will make for a very happy ending.
HINT:
The family and the talented and patient carpenters climbed in the dumpster,got the windows and returned them to their place of honor...Stay tuned
