Folly Beach Cottage – before & after

This little cottage became the cover for  Home Matters (later revised as Your Home Matters). As promised (in the book), here are more photos of before & after:))))

Outside photos first

  • Front of the cottage – not much curb appeal!

  • It’s looking better!

  • Finished!

  • Before – back porch

  • Looking better – yes, that is a bathtub!

Now let’s take a look at the inside; come on in!

  • Front porch – before (we had to get rid of all of that junk)

  • Front Porch – finished! My favorite morning place to enjoy my Bible and coffee!

  • Living room before. With more junk to remove, including ivy vines attached to the inside walls, before we could even start!

  • Taa daa – The living room

  • Living room (original walls throughout)

  • We added a split system for heat & air (on the wall).

  • Kitchen – before

  • Kitchen after – I loved the charm of this little kitchen!

  • We added a rolling cart with storage.

  • We created a little eating area.

  • The little pantry (left) had material for a door.

  • Another angle of the eating area.

  • Sweet open shelving!

  • Bedroom – before

  • After

  • We discovered a little area off the bedroom we used for a guest room/office.

  • Check out the little vine growing out of the funnel that caught the leak from the toilet tank?!?

  • Our son Errol – Can you find Len?

  • Bathroom – after

  • A new toilet – no vine!

  • Bathroom

  • We kept the original sink – after a lot of scrubbing! I made the skirt with the shower curtain excess I had to cut off.
