The Cottage isn’t the only one getting visitors this time of year! ☀️ The beautiful gulf coast FL springs are the best place to kayak and swim with the manatees! 🚣🏻‍♀️🏖🌊

✨One of the many adventures that is just a short ride from the Cottage. 🙌🏼

“The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry”.... No matter how carefully a project is planned, something always doesn’t go according to “plan”. In my case, multiple things! The weather was abnormally cold with high dew points last week so painting is running 5 days behind schedule. Then too boot, I’m out of commission with the flu. 🤦🏻‍♀️ ⁣

Here’s some photos of the progress so far! Touch ups and final wood fixes left. 🙏🏻 @ Ozona, Florida

HUGE week for the —Project PaintZONA has commenced!!!

Many know that I’ve been waiting over a year to start this project and after many (many) milestones throughout 2019, it’s finally happening!! The whole exterior is getting a complete makeover, including... a new fresh to death paint job (you helped me pick the color last year!), updated trim, reframing of the windows, repairing all wood siding and updated lattice around the foundation. I am just overjoyed to be able to give this cottage the coastal look I’ve been envisioning since buying her in 2018! 🏡
