This summer, Nicole is completing the historic lake cottage she rescued from destruction almost a decade ago. The team starts with beautifying the exterior which includes the roof, siding, porches, landscaping and a one-of-a-kind kids tree fort.

Nicole turns her attention to the inside of the cottage and transforms the top floor into her own personal retreat complete with a bedroom, bathroom and dressing room; she also creates a kids room with a feature that must be seen to be believed.

Nicole lifts her tiny lake cottage into the air and builds a brand-new first floor and basement underneath; the final challenge is to fill these new spaces with the historic details she loves, a task that could either make or break the project.
