Welcome!

I thought I would share some photos of the new cottage.

When we bought the home 3 years ago, we decided it needed a complete renovation. The attic was not livable space. With a first floor foot print of 1000 sf we needed to add some square footage!

We started the renovation upstairs.....adding an office and master suite. Our reasoning for starting upstairs you ask? So we would have a finished, clean space to sleep in and rest our weary heads!

Anyways, here we go with our little "tour."

After walking in the front door, we head right on up the stairs...........

To the left is the office, to the right is suite {bedroom + bathroom}

Since space is limited, everything is built-in and painted a crisp, clean white. The funky attic walls make for a perfectly cozy retreat!

The queen bed is built-in {of course!} and is a cozy place to curl up and watch a little tv!

We made sure to add plenty of lighting since natural light is a precious commodity upstairs.

Steps from the bed is the bathroom. Did you know that this bathroom was featured on HGTV's 'Bang for your Buck?' Yep, we lost. We "over remodeled" for the neighborhood, but we don't care!

The upstairs office/master suite was also featured in the Jan./Feb. issue of THIS OLD HOUSE magazine. So fun!

And there you have the upstairs bedroom + bathroom.

We will look at some more of the space in a few days!
