BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS: Sarah’s new cottage makeover…
Have you been fortunate enough to see the new Sarah Richardson show, Sarah’s Rental Cottage?
I discovered that if I added free plugin called Hola to my Chrome browser, I could amend my IP settings to “Canada” and watch the episodes online for free. It took seconds to install, and once I’d restarted my browser, it worked almost perfectly. Yey!
So now I’ve been devouring all the episodes from the comfort of our Mount Martha home, south of Melbourne in Australia.
About the show
Not surprisingly after the success of all her other home makeovers including her own family cottage on another Georgian Bay island and a farmhouse outside Toronto, Sarah and her husband Alexander decided to buy another island, fix up the existing cottage, and have it available for rent during the Canadian summer.
The fabulous Tommy Smythe brings his usual wit and charm, and there are two handsome new builders to help the work along. Perfect.
The team install solar power and renovate a living room and kitchen, main bedroom and kids room, and a bathroom and store room (dividing this up into another guest room). And they add a small laundry and sun room, update old structural timbers, and replace decking.
BTW, if you love Sarah’s designs, you really ought to buy her book, Sarah Style.
