Cottage Revival

Our 1950's beach cottage gets a low cost head to toe makeover using color and texture.

I added floor to ceiling bead board, fresh paint in fun coastal colors, refinished the existing birch floors, installed recessed lighting and updated the kitchen.

The cottage was furnished with my yard sale finds and DIY projects.

Check out the before and afters at http://www.seasideshelter.blogspot.com/p/cot...
