Guest Cottage Tour (on Dog House Lane)


Welcome to our Guest Cottage on Dog House Lane.
Directions are simple. No GPS needed. Go down the long dirt road 1/2 a mile, pass the old school house, take a left at the sign, and you’re here.
We like to think our guest cottage is a place that was built for family and friends to come and stay a while, to relax, to enjoy country living at it’s best.
 

The cottage is special to us because my husband and I built it ourselves and even called Dog House Lane home while our own home was being built.

It is special because it’s where our DIY skills were realized, who knew, and painted floors got their start- click here
 
Special because we got to design and build our first cottage kitchen.
Click here for Kitchen renovation 
 Special because we learned how to tile and create a cottage style bath for the first time.
Special because we learned how to create a bedroom for our guests to have a good nights sleep when they come to visit.
And a space to sit and chat and catch up.
 
Special for the little touches that make it warm and inviting for others.
 
First time framing, putting dry wall up, tiling a floor, installing plumbing, wiring, renovating a kitchen, painting a floor,installing a bathroom. You name it….we did it!
Special because it’s got our heart and soul in it. A labor of love, that represents who we are and what we love to do…….  but didn’t know until this project. 
I hope you enjoyed your stay at the cottage on Dog House Lane. Ya’ll come back now!
