Typically in March and April I do some major Spring cleaning at the cottage. Our little vacation rental in Carlton keeps me busy in the summers! I have cut the gardens way back and filled in a lot of flower bed space with shrubs and bark dust, but the flowers still need tending to and the cottage needs cleaning after each guest leaves. I am always ready and excited for the start of the busy season {usually May} but then always ready for the busy season to come to an end {usually November}. I took the girls with me to take inventory of everything that needs to be done. The list is long! So I took a few new pictures for the vacation rental website page instead ;-) I can't seem to find any interior 'before' pictures of this little cottage, I know I have some somewhere. But this little place was definitely a 'fixer upper'!!
