Transforming an RV-Cottage near the Chesapeake Bay--The Beginning








Just 4 weeks after a ridiculously spontaneous decision, I became the owner of a little vinyl-sided weekend cottage. It sits on a campground bordering a tributary of upper Chesapeake Bay (Maryland).



At first glance it looks like a mobile home, but it's actually an RV-fused-cottage. The original 1975 Bonanza RV section (in the back) contains the current kitchen and bathroom; everything else is an addition built in the early 1990s.





Admittedly, the house is lacking "good bones" and character, but the location is superb--and the price was awesome.

And within a 10-minute walk, look what's nearby.



The goal: high style transformation on a tight budget. To be continued...
