Condo Commando

So you have a condo on the beach, right?  And it’s nice, but could use a little work, you know?  Hmmm?  What’s that?  You DON’T know what it’s like to own a fixer-upper condo on the beach?  That’s OK, neither do I.  I have a tent with a broken zipper that I can set up on my front lawn, but that’s about as close as I’ve got.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy this top-to-bottom makeover of Diane’s beachfront condo!  Diane enlisted the help of her stepdaughters: interior designer Caitlin, and super handy Brittany, who just happens to be one of the most talented bloggers I have the pleasure of knowing in real life.  I can already imagine her charging up the steps, power tools slung over her shoulder, ready to attack.  It’s been a joy seeing what she’s accomplished with this project.  So let’s check it out!

 First of all, this outdated living/dining area got … whatever the opposite of outdated is.  Indated?  Updated?  Yes, updated.  Pardon me, I’m on a newborn’s sleep schedule.  Anyway, looks fab.

How about this guest room?  I know that wicker is making a big comeback and everything, but I’m still going to cast my vote with the after room.  So bright and welcoming!

The master bedroom received new flooring, drapes and paint color, but my favorite thing has to be that custom headboard that Brittany built for less than $100!

The bathroom got a night-and-day makeover as well.  Looks SO much more spacious.  I love the colors too, very coastal and calm.

Want to see more?  There’s tons more where this came from on Brittany’s blog Pretty Handy Girl. Planning a vacation near Topsail Beach in North Carolina? Good news, this beautiful condo is available to rent!  Interested in learning how to make your own headboard?  I aim to please.  Here is Brittany’s headboard tutorial.

Happy weekend friend!
