To say this small home built in the 30’s needed some TLC would be an understatement. The property belonged to the same family forever. It was well loved and time to sell. The agent had it on the market “as-is,” and they received some pretty disappointing offers.

Ceramic Lamp
Lots of vintage pieces combined with high style, low-cost pieces, and created a space buyers couldn’t stop thinking about. The sparkly bedroom chandelier brought some glam into the cottage.
Our guest of honor for the day was PeeWee who doesn’t let the fact that he uses a wheelchair to get around stop him from being super sweet and oh so loving. He looks right at home on this rug made to get the point across, don’t you think? That’s always our goal!

The bathroom makeover involved sandblasting the existing iron clawfoot tub, painting everything including the existing tile (yep you can do that,) and installing some new light fixtures. Here’s how we found it:
Everyone who entered fell in love with this little gem, 21 offers and a bidding war later and it went to a school teacher whose parents helped her buy her first home.
