When you grew up with a cottage that your father built with his own hands, it's hard to give it up in your adult years -- even if the space is no longer working for you and your large family. That's the situation Mark and his wife Karen found themselves in with their Prince Edward County vacation space, which was entirely too small and cramped for themselves and their nearly adult kids. With Karen ready to list it, Mark called on Dan Vickery and his Love it or List it Vacation Homes team to reconfigure the space while keeping all of its retro charm. Here's how some small structural changes and a whole new design vision completely transformed the space.
