Phister Cottage

Well here is the next installment of photos from the Island Inn renovation.

This is the story of the charming Phister Cottage...and how the source of inspiration evolved into the implemented design.

Enjoy!

It started with a cottage in need of a little love and a bit of an update...

I was armed with a budget, a deadline and a tiny picture for inspiration...

Next came the sourcing of furnishings...

always mindful of the budget as well as the wear and tear by the guests of the inn...

yet the lure of the Gulf was always in the forefront of my thoughts.

A few necessary upgrades were made from the lighting plan...

to the paint schedule...

to the art and accessories.

And here she sits today...

All ready for you to come for a visit and fall in love with our wonderful little Sanibel!

You might not want to leave...

Wouldn't you love to stay here on your next vacation...?

Well, call the Island Inn for reservations and start packing!

Designing this cottage was a joy. I can't wait to show you the rest of the rooms.

There are many more pictures to come from this cottage and the entire remainder of the renovation...
