About this product

Product Information

The amazing story of the charming little cottage that couldand the woman who rescued it "Tereasa's journey of renovation and resurrection proves that any one of us can make a difference when it comes to preservation." James Peters, President, Landmarks Illinois When Tereasa Surratt decided to restore a dilapidated old cabin to its original state AND move it 245 miles from Illinois to Wisconsin, everyone said she was crazy. But she saw potential where others saw junk, and knew that with hope and a hammer there is always a way. To her, this cottage was not just a building, but a precious piece of her childhood and hometown that she was determined to keep alive. A Very Modest Cottage follows Tereasa s adventures as she rescues this gone-to-ruin cabin and gives it new life as a guest cottage on the edge of the woods overlooking a peaceful lake. Moreover, she achieved her goal on a budget of around $300. Part how-to guide, part scrapbook, and completely inspiring, this special memoir shows how even the simplest architecture can have a powerful emotional affect...and that when you roll up your sleeves and work to make a dream come true, anything is possible.

A cottage that can be a gift to yourself. Great read!
As a child, it's a place you want to hang with your friends; to be by yourself with your favorite doll or toy; as a teenager with a good book; as an adult with a best friend or a paint brush and canvas. And you never want to leave. This type of thing just doesn't happen every day. But it should. Once you read the book, you can't help but imagine yourself driving to "the cottage" for the weekend...each and every weekend. The labor of love, the peaceful surroundings, the décor, the fact that someone place life's jumper cables on the front doorknob and started it's memories all over again. With the boom of the "tiny house," this is the place it all started, even if no one wants to admit it. Definitely, on the bucket list of places to visit and hopefully own one myself, one day.As a child, it's a place you want to hang with your friends; to be by yourself with your favorite doll or toy; as a teenager with a good book; as an adult with a best friend or a paint brush and canvas.

Very interesting book if you are in to restoring old things
Yes I would buy it again!! Had been wanting to read it for a long time and I enjoyed every page very much. The only thing I could say I disliked about it is that it was not long enough. LOL The book was in very good condition and arrived in a short period of time. It will be a keeper for sure.
