WOW! It has been over TWO MONTHS since I Blogged!! I have definitely SHOPPED! But have not Blogged.. not sure what happened.. well actually so much has happened! WHERE TO BEGIN!??
I am reading a book by Sandra Magsamen's book LIVING ARTFULLY and it has but me back on track! Well... That and the fact I am moving into my Thunderbolt Cottage next Saturday, October 29th! I know I should have never left Georgia to move across the river to Bluffton. I did it, it was fine, Party in Bluffton it OVER! :) Bluffton is fine... but if you are going to live there you should live in the Historic area or on the May River! I did neither of these.. I lived in the 'burb.. Something I swore I would never do again. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?
So back to Thunderbolt, to my lil cottage at Tuberson Avenue, just across from Tubby's and with a view of the Wilimington River if you stand on the far corner of the front porch!
So here she is...
I took this two days after I discovered she was for rent! I had lovingly viewed her in the months I lived at River Crossing in Thunderbolt. She is in need of some repairs and she is getting those now! I LOVE HER!
She has yellow shutters on the side.. AND A WHITE PICKET FENCE!!
So these are the before photos.. I will post more when I move in next week! SHE IS PRECIOUS and I cannot wait to live there within her walls! MY THUNDERBOLT COTTAGE!!
She was built in 1900. She has a non-working fireplace, small kitchen with pantry, small closets, small bathroom, two bedrooms, and WOODEN FLOORS! The washer and dryer go on the back porch.. how old skool is that! :)
She has a fresh paint job on the inside. Bright yellow kitchen and bath!
So.. to get ready for my move Vic has been painting furniture for me.. Lots of Furniture in Lots of Bright Colors! Marianne calls them my Fiesta Colors...
Here are a few we have completed and a few we are working on..
