The renowned architect William B. Litchfield with the exquisite touch of designer Jackye Lanham transformed this quaint cottage for a mother and her young daughter.  It boasted a timeless appeal, yet with the passing years, it was yearning for some updates and a sprinkle of newfound charm.

The cottage’s bones, with its dormer windows, elegant archways, and cozy nooks, remained intact. Yet, the interior awaited a breath of fresh inspiration. Together, they retained the classic elements – the rustic wooden beams, the charming fireplace, and the intricate woodwork, which whispered stories of a bygone era. These foundational features were carefully restored and accentuated, serving as a homage to the home’s original allure.
