We found this wonderful tiger oak. Dresser at a garage sale also really 870. Dollars for those cities in this condition it's in beautiful shape they're really and I remember the slash if we found in the same little shop we've bought the rockets on the porch that was twelve bucks. Well after a little researching this turns out of the Bristol. Not quite anxious to get an appraisal work on just what that's worth that's upon -- you -- you think it's a treasure it's a treasure. And as the president straight. How about this couch. The capital also came from a garage sale. And had our -- which -- truths at the khaki green. It just helped pull everything together and turquoise and -- answers -- lots of Florida -- were -- out in the dining room will be here. Our architect Andrea Clark -- meet one gene which was absolutely revolutionary that he doorways to be in the middle of the -- if you set at the dining room you looked straight through there. If the doors open and you saw the bathroom. And so he bought this put in a pocketbook. That's got -- of the bedrooms. Well Bob in the front bedroom we chose the sold wing chair fabric was fine we picked up this rat problem. We sponge a couple of pieces of furniture that also came from -- thrift shop painted the walls and with white woodwork and that's the whole story you -- and it can really work together well here. In the bathroom we use ten with white. Both on the floor. That we put in as well as on the walls on the wainscoting and the start -- these two lavatories which we found this out at you right there from the forties that -- in beautiful shape and they only cost 25 bucks a piece. And then we put it and the simple wooden shop new mirror -- like pictures those are about twenty dollars -- So again not too much money here. And in the other bedroom. This -- the blue room right. This room has basically glue because of the exposure it has that southwest exposure which of course you know down here is very very warm and blue is a very cool -- it sure is right. Picked up a couple of dressers there old bird's eye maple put in new white porcelain knobs on them. Added some flat bed spread some inexpensive braided rugs and about it. The lamp is tramp art it's made out of popsicle sticks yeah how much did you pay for that -- that was a big twelve dollars and fifty cents a not -- not. Now in the dining room the green is really terrific color -- period. Insurance area this green is the original paint we found. In the kitchen -- find traces absolutely under -- that's great. This is an original touch the scroll. Decoration on the cover there which we use in the kitchen but. I found this in the -- I'm so glad you included it in Africa I was kind of below an old push -- guard. But we included that that scroll motif up here and -- this kind of kind of it. Our and it looks pretty good and I super we added these shutters to keep this nice clean white ceiling have control over life privacy exactly and -- looks lucrative and then the the cabinets are all built in place practically the countertops are. The ruble worker the broken tile work very traditional Florida yet -- tonight technique. And the last room in the house -- the back porch. Now this is that table clubs -- chopper but that's right and it's truly forwarded that's that this is where unity breakfast her it's a great job. It's my pleasure thanks a -- you're quite welcome okay right now let's chicken with Andrea -- the architect it's made many of these changes I don't screen porch.

" The screen porch yes nice way to bring in an element that every Florida home should have and bring the outside inside give you shading but listen environments that a great you know."

" Keep the bugs out I think we even have screens and that that maybe. But it's a very important thing to do yes and that view is spectacular especially over towards that's what people might take a look as looking very inviting -- Yeah you can't really enjoy Florida in the middle of the summer we go swimming pool -- That's right and I love some of the touches with the pool it was your idea to include a pattern in the ceramic tile edging. Nice lyrical pattern to contemplate while cooling off all very ago yes and it bounces around and I love this this idea over here they're having.
