99 Steps = Summer Fun!

     In the latest edition of The Lettered Cottage Magazine, Jane and 99 Steps are featured by Kevin and Layla Palmer. The article is well composed in intricate detail, and visually appealing to cottage lovers alike. Here are a few excerpts from the article: 

"Jane Coslick's very first cottage that could."

"Funky Junk: 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 Collections" shop at JaneCoslick.MyShopify.com."

"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."
