Jane Coslick's very first cottage that could. Named after the number of steps between it's front door and the edge of the sea, 99 Steps now boast beautiful planked walls, pocket windows, exposed rafters and refinished hardwood floors. Jane slipcovered inexpensive
peices of furniture with hard-wearing blue and white-striped upholstery fabric by Waverly. She says, "Its been great, and I don't ever think I will change it."
Built in the 1920's by the Army Corps of Engineers, Jane says, "The house had an incredible energy." She just hung out the first couple of months she owned the place, but come spring, Jane began stripping the cottage down to it's original bones, ripping
out ceiling tiles, and adding beach cottage charm galore.
Jane has restored over 30 cottages on Tybee Island, and 10 on the Isle of Hope in Savannah. Each one is dotted with an amazing array of upcycled second hand finds. Conch shells have become shower heads, water cans have turned into table lamps. Jane's definitely
got a way with stuff! Here in the living room at 99 Steps she suspended the original air vents from the pitched ceiling to honor the homes past, and to act as three dimensional art.
Shutter to think: The sea-inspired shutters that adorn the outside of the cottage are available in any of Jane's custom paint colors at
Jane's "Cottage Collection" Shop. In addition, please vist the e-zine from The Lettered Cottage at
"Summer Fun".
