Good Evening! Just finished up a fun video reel tour of our cottage renovation for Instagram tonight and we are about to eat dinner so I will be short and sweet! I’ve had a lot of really long blog posts lately so I will spare you all of my gab and just show you lots of fun before and after pictures!

Just to catch you up a bit if you are new around here or as a little reminder, back in 2021, John and I purchased two historic fixer uppers literally two days before we were about to walk out the door and fly to California to get married. It was a very spur of the moment decision, but we both love to renovate and thought they would be a fun, eventual project. They both had long-term renters living there so we took over those leases and just started renovating this second cottage earlier this year. The first one we sold last Spring and then finished this one up this Spring! Once again, right as we were about to head out the door to go out of town. This time for our yearly Summer adventure. No lie, John finished up the last thing needed to get the CO about 30 minutes before we needed to head to the airport so he rushed home, took a shower and we headed out!

So here’s a peek at our newly completed historic cottage renovation!
