When Life Gives You Lemons...

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Nothing is more sour than a poorly conceived addition tacked onto an otherwise great house, but when life hands you lemons―well, you know what to do. What began as a side porch and was later a kitchen was transformed by homeowner Sarah Frances Hardy into a delightful oasis for daughters Sallie, Anne, and Julia.

“We thought about tearing off the addition completely, but the space allowed the girls to have a playroom downstairs. It’s perfect,” says Sarah Frances, who simply recaulked the windows and floors to make the space functional and then fashioned it for fun with a few terrific touches. Have a sip of this sweet space.
