COTTAGE BOTOX

Fab Location. Steps to village, a butcher, baker, candlestick maker, had I hit country cottage gold?
But a closer look (and sniff) revealed dry-rot, mushroom-y odours & Titanic sloppy floors. The structural issues alone screamed ‘walk away’. So I did.

A year later destiny pulled me back. Again for sale, the sellers ‘quick flip reno’s tried to say updated. It wasn’t. But I saw opportunity. This 1950’s cutie was getting a facelift. A botox reboot, a mega nip tuck, I was glam-pussing this golden oldie into 2025.

OLD MAID
Circa 1950’s

PRESENT
Glam Puss Gal

ARCTIC BASEMENT

Below decks, it was cold. Concrete slab, gale moaning, rotten window cold. Wires dangled. The bulky furnace grumbled. But in the 1,000sft blank canvas beaconed. I saw tons of living better potential.
