It Was Just a Dilapidated Old Shack … Until It Was Transformed Into an 850-Square-Foot Dream Home

When Mickie Johnson bought this cottage four years ago, it wasn’t much to look at. It was just a dilapidated old shack from 1925.

The entire cottage had to be gutted. The wood flooring is brand new, as is the roof. Now, it is 850 square feet of pure heaven.

Here is the cottage as it appears today. The deep blue paint and the crisp white trim make for a bold contrast, emphasizing the ornate embellishments which add old-fashioned charm to the exterior.

Here is another angle, which showcases some of the rustic furniture and décor. Notice the rural accents like the burlap around the lampshade. All work together to create a homespun atmosphere.
