The "New" 1910 Craftsman Cottage


Last time I wrote, I teased you with this photo...well here we are 4.5 months later and this house...well it's fun and daunting and fun and overwhelming but it's ours and we've been working slowly on it. 

I'll give you the grand tour and then we'll start telling you about the small work we've done so far!


1910 Craftsman Cottage
3,542sf | 5 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms

All of the photos you're about to see are what we saw when we walked through the house...M said it's the ugliest damn thing he'd ever seen. I was all star-eyed. My dad lived in a 1912 house and I LOVED it. I grew up to learn the appreciation of architecture and it was my dream to some day own one of these lovelies...well thank goodness M loves me to the end of the earth. I drive him insane and this house and the never-ending honey do list does as well but he knows when we're done (HAHA) - she will be the Belle of the Ball!
