I started with my kitchen.
It needed cabinets, counters and appliances.
I bought stock cabinets and counters to save money and did a galley plan. I brought my sideboard into the kitchen for additional storage and counter space and painted it with a homemade paint that gives a chalk like finish.
Then I tackled my spare bedroom, making curtains and shams from tea towels I got in a clearance bin.
I added a shelf desk and painted some grain sack stripes on it to dress it up.
I painted all the ugly orange wood trim in the house. It looks amazing now!
I have plenty left to do, but I’m so happy with how the house looks now. Hope you enjoyed the tour!
Thank you Anne!
You have made some amazing transformations.
I love it all, so cozy, so warm and friendly.
thank you.
Please pay Anne a visit

This is just so pretty and does say “cottage” at every turn. I love that laundry and bathroom, I think, the most of all, but it’s all really lovely.
