The remodel.

We finally realized our dream to own a beach house. But it's a big project as we have decided to remodel the entire house. It has a great location, wonderful ocean views and "great bones" but we want to make it "our own".

There are a lot of things you can do to "take the 1970's" out of a house. Already we have scraped the cottage cheese ceilings and gutted the kitchen and bathrooms. Replacing the windows and interior doors helps too. And changing out the light fixtures and hardware.

I am most excited to add board and batten to a lot of rooms in the house. The look is very basic, has very clean lines and yet has a very dramatic impact on the entire house.

So hopefully starting this week we will add board and batten to the entry way, downstairs family room and bedrooms. I think it will be a very dramatic change. Do you agree? Do you like the photos?

This is going to be really fabulous. I love what you already have done. I lived on Lido, NBeach in the 80's. An amazing experience to live close to the water. Your workshops held in this place will be AWESOME!

    I am a mom, wife, artist and someone always looking for a "new project". According to my husband, this might be my biggest "project" yet.
