Come On In!

The Sassy Seagull is ready for guests!



Come on in friends! 





As you step inside the front door the first room is the living room...





I thought it would be interesting to show you the room from different angles 1) before we touched it, 2) then after we worked on it, and then finally 3) after we furnished it. Okay? 
Here we go...

Before...




Next...




We stripped, sanded, stained and sealed the floors, added a built-in bookshelf, new fan, and put some tile around the fireplace opening. And by "we" I mean Catskill Builders, our contracting company at Tybee Island, who carried out my husband and my ideas.


Now...



I still need to style the bookshelf but it will have to wait until there are no guests staying in the cottage.  I'm thinking some books, a large basket to hold games, etc.


And again, Before




Next...




 Now...




And one last angle...Before




The previous owner added a new front door (the one on the left that we are currently using as the front door) when they enclosed their front porch. They also kept their original front door (the one on the right in the above picture) that was their passage door to their enclosed porch. Whew! Is that clear?

We decided to remove the door on the right and open the wall up a bit to give the room more light and to help it relate better to the living room as seen next...





And finally...



Just a few more pretties...







How do you like the "surfboard coffee table"? I'll have to show you its transformation in another blog post. Come on down to Tybee and we'll have a visit!
