Our print section Saturday contains a collection of stories on cottage living, including a profile of Venice artist Lynn Hanson. From writer Barbara Thornburg’s article:
They began by painting the exterior a chalky hue, then added a proverbial white picket fence. Inside, they took down the wall between the living room and kitchen, with its saloon-style swinging doors, to enlarge the itsy space. Removing the blue and green shag carpeting revealed a nice hardwood floor. White-washing cabinets and adding a galvanized metal countertop and a nifty 1940 Gaffers & Sattler stove transformed the small kitchen.... A 1940s dining table covered with a vintage tablecloth stands in the kitchen alongside a corner cabinet, both Santa Monica flea market treasures.
We’ve got more pictures in the accompanying photo gallery.
