A returning client purchased this outdated waterside cottage in the hopes of transforming it into a modern retreat for their family. They loved the close location to the water, but knew its small size would only work for their family for a few years. Since their time frame in this cozy cottage was brief we needed a quick and affordable solution to decorate.  By painting the floors a bright white, adding simple window treatments only where necessary and using strategic pops of color in a neutral background we gave this home a more current look, bringing it into the 21st century.
