“ I’M A FRUSTRATED COTTAGE OWNER,”
says Beth Bynon of D el Mar, C alifo rn ia,
w here cottages or even affordable condos
are hard to come by. A fter transform ing her
p lain tw o-bedroom apartment on the inside
w ith vibrant paint, pretty fabric trim s, and
flea-m arket, cottage-style furniture finds,
Beth slid open her balcony doors and kept
right on going. She sewed pockets into
striped outdoor fabric to make aw nings that
hang from copper tubing and brackets. A nd
although she hadn’t planned for it, Beth
likes how salty ocean breezes are putting a
patina on her painted concrete floor.
