Sea Glass Sanctuary

I did it! I took my own advice and recently purchased a rental property in South Carolina! We call it the Sea Glass Sanctuary.

It will serve as a getaway haven for us and also provide rental income!

New entryway in our Sea Glass Sanctuary. (Mirror is from Pottery Barn)

The home was already in great shape but with the help of my partner-in-crime and resident design expert, Amie Freling-Brown, we completed a home makeover ala Fixer Upper!

Team Amie/y

Our to-do list included:

  • Gut and remodel master bath
  • New bedding throughout
  • New kitchen cookware/dishes/utensils
  • New kitchen backsplash
  • New hardware on kitchen cabinetry
  • New flooring throughout
  • Gut and remodel powder room
  • New vanity in kids’ bathroom
  • New paint LITERALLY everywhere!
  • New decor / touches to add personal flair
  • New lighting
  • Add shiplap

Before:

I am happy to report we knocked off every item on that list and still lived to tell the tale! Hah! 🙂 Check out the finished product!

After:

New Pottery Barn bedding in the kids’ room is fun, cheery and serves as the inspiration for our home’s namesake: Sea Glass Sanctuary!
New flooring reminds me of the gorgeous sandy beaches!
New lighting in the kitchen and dining area, new paint and new cookware / utensils. The canvas is an enlarged photo my son Jake took from a recent Hawaii vacation! I love this personal touch to our home! It’s a great tip for cost-effective decor!
We rearranged the living room so the flow made more sense. New flooring! New rug (HomeGoods)! New coffee table (Hayneedle)! New sleeper sofa (Bassett)!
I recruited the best helper (my son) to help assemble our new furniture!
There’s those beautiful, sandy floors and we repurposed a picture from downstairs
and moved to this hallway! Thanks for your help Grade A Flooring!
New bedding, lamps, decor and accessories in the master bedroom!
Bathroom renovation with sea glass-inspired subway tile!
And what makeover would be complete without a dose of shiplap? Love how this turned out! This project included three boxes of wood for a total of $75! For a small amount of money we made a huge focal point! This dynamic space greets you upon entry!

If you’re looking for a new space or considering a rental property, it’s a great idea to enlist the help of a trusted friend or professional! Amie was able to connect my vision and brought a different perspective. We hold each other accountable and love a challenge! Sometimes even small changes can make a dramatic difference in a space. Now this beach property feels like it is really mine and I can’t wait for our family to kick back, relax and breathe in that salty air!
