The Shopping Center Rescue Before

How Randy and Richard Transformed this Cottage:

1. Attached a small screened porch to the rear so they could open the house from front to back
2. Added two baths with a rear addition and bumped out the shower for views of Choctawhatchee Bay
3. Turned the existing small bath into a laundry room
4. Repurposed the front bedroom as a studio and later added more studio space with a second addition
5. Installed three skylights to bring extra light into the all-wood interior
