About the host

Hosted by Daphne

Beware an artist may be in the art studio is in the back yard. Call it “Studio 90-b”. You may visit the studio and be be inspired or be an inspiration. Who knows?

Why they chose this property

This cottage and auto repair shop was purchased in 2019 after Hurricane Michael. The house had been empty for years and needed a complete renovation. Trees had fallen on the two buildings and all over the yard. It was love at first sight. The cottage was renovated first then the auto repair shop became my studio both after much love and sweat. The studio and sculpture garden area is work in progress that will mature with time.

What makes this property unique

The front porch overlooks the historic Chestnut Cemetery which is graced with Live Oaks dripping with moss framed with the original iron fences. It’s a picturesque and peaceful scene to enjoy while sitting on the pair of rocking chairs on porch or while in the dinning area off the kitchen.
