Appleby of My EyeWhile restoring the home's exterior and working on the porch, Trent and his crew experience an unexpected setback.

Low Country Cottage UneaseTrent restores the first floor of a cottage by rebuilding the stairs, kitchen, living room and dining room. He finds antique appliances and has them fixed up to place back into the kitchen, and he gets creative when he realizes that there's no room for the half-bath he wants to add on the first floor. - Raising the Roof for RoomE7
Raising the Roof for RoomTrent opens up the roof of the cottage in order to add more square footage for a master bathroom. In the master bathroom, he adds signature touches like an antique vanity and a unique accent to the floor. Trent also meets with traditional sweetgrass basket weavers to gain a little inspiration before decorating the master bedroom. - Charleston Cottage Curb AppealE8
Charleston Cottage Curb AppealFor a cottage that has no curb appeal, Trent rolls up his sleeves and attacks the exterior of the small historic home. Not content with only adding two porches, Trent safely removes asbestos-ridden siding and replaces it with siding that matches exactly to the time period. He also restores an old shed, turning it into a rustic hangout in the backyard.
