Hello and welcome to le petite cottage!
I am excited to share this new blog with you all. Hoping to share the good, bad and ugly about renovating & decorating an older home (ours was built in 1928) and maybe give you some inspiration for your own home. It was a year ago that we first saw the cottage. It was kind of a whirlwind moment. We had another home we were looking at fell through due to the condition of the home and my husband was determined to find us a house. We knew we wanted an older home that we could put our stamp on. He crammed 3 house showings into one day and then added a 4th (the cottage) in at the last minute. The cottage was the first house we looked at. When we walked in, I think we both knew because we kept comparing the other houses to the cottage. We put in an offer that same day and within 24 hours it was accepted. It then took about 6 weeks for inspections, paperwork, etc before we went in for the signing. Then another month before we officially moved in. So I thought we could take a trip down memory lane of what the cottage looked before we started any of our projects. Before jack hammers & dumpsters. Before paint & furniture. Just to give you an idea of where we started out because we've come a long way in less than a year. So stay tuned as I take you room by room, project by project as we create our cozy little cottage for two (plus 3 cats LOL) xo- Jenna Special thanks to Candace of Lila Delman in Newport, RI for helping us find our sweet "le petite cottage".
