As an ex-remodeler (of two homes) I love a good remodeling story, and Mary Kay Andrews has two. A fictional one told in her book The Fixer Upper and a real life version... 
... turning this run down beach cottage on Tybee Island (GA)...
into a gem named The Breeze Inn. You can go through the archives of Mary Kay's Blog..., or visit me @ Completely Coastal for some before and after shots -hope to see you there!Shared with Hooked on Fridays @ Julia's Hooked on Houses + Pink Saturday @ Beverly's How Sweet the Sound.
I'm amazed by the transformation, the Beach Inn looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the Breeze Inn after the transformation! I bet the inside is lovely!
ReplyDeletewow... what a make-over!!
ReplyDeleteI love the name "Breeze Inn" too!
Great weekend to you :)

Love, love, love Mary Kay Andrews!!! :) Stopping by from Julia's party. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Breeze is just fantastic. I live the full width awning. It's not a wimpy little detail; it rocks the whole house.
ReplyDeleteQuite a transformation! Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThose houses are absolutely stunning! Wow, I am so impressed.
ReplyDeleteWow that inn is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great transformation! The inn is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever lady.. I think I will take you up on both offers!! Thanks for the links. Julie
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I stumbled on a Mary Kay Andrews book at the Library (Savannah Breeze) and have been looking for MORE ever since. It was my ALL TIME FAVORITE book. It's my dream to do something like that and re-vamp a small motel. SUPER COOL....have a wonderful day and hugs from Houston
ReplyDeleteIt looks so fresh and breezy! Wish we could tour the interior.

Great colors! I love those daring colors found by the sea!
ReplyDeleteHow fun, I can't wait to go back and read her blog. I think I actually heard of this book the other day somewhere.
ReplyDeleteOh that 1st pic is too funny. I checked out her blog, but she doesn't blog that much. Well, I guess everyone can't be an addict like me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Maya

ReplyDeleteThe pink front door is awesome..love it. What a lovely post for pink saturday
ReplyDeleteHappy PS

This is so crazy, I just finished the Fixer Upper last week and now I am reading Savannah Breeze. I read Deep Dish just a few weeks ago. I love her and she looks awesome with all that paint and crazy hair.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing those wonderful properties!!
Have a Fabulous Pink Saturday!
Hugs, Nerina :)
Such a stylish and beautiful use of colour. Adore the design
ReplyDeleteOh the color of The Breeze Inn is so perfect! Happiest of Pink Saturdays to you!

Wow I want this house!! I read your earlier post on the price on that home.there is a huge old historic captains mansion in Milton,Mass. for only in the $700,000!! I was shocked when I found it on Forbes. I have not seen 1 foreclosure sign where I live? I think there is a real estae boom here in Mass for first time buyers! Money-chusetts$$ Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog..I think the plants along the dunes are turning fall-ish already! Noooo...!
ReplyDeletePs I found a wood plaque from a boat on the beach it is carved with the name Stock-well is that a joke or what? and another like a big angel wing!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a wonderful transformation!
ReplyDeleteI think Mary Kay Andrews looks like a lot of fun!!! Beautiful transformation...Love the colors, right up my alley, xoxo~Kathy@ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
ReplyDeleteWow what a difference! It looks so quaint and cozy now.
