Here's what the exterior of our little cottage looks like today.
Gang:
Morning! As John and I prepare Madcap Cottage for our upcoming Nate Berkus segment, we have been going through photos of the house from when we bought it through today.
Here’s a little taste of Madcap Cottage along the way:
A vintage shot of the house. We tried to keep as many architectural details as possible, but the house needed all new windows and the canopy over the front door was completely rotted.
The garage before we transformed it into a screened-in porch. Mr. and Mrs. Mouse and friends lived here when we moved in, we asked them to move out.
The former garage now transformed into a colorful screened-in porch.
The living room during construction. What a mess!
Here's the back of the house and the kitchen during construction... That's my dad, Jary, standing in the house. He and my uncle, Lary, helped me and John with the renovation. And, yes, my dad is named Jary and his two brothers are Lary and Tary. Wacked, huh?
The bedroom before we started construction. It looked more like a closet, n'est-ce pas?
Our bedroom under construction... Farrow & Ball paint, naturally!
Our finished kitchen. But, wait!, this space will be transformed yet again for the Nate shoot. We can never sit still with our interiors, we think of our rooms as design labs that constantly shift and morph.
