Three years ago, I bought a set of eight #abandoned apartments in Minden, Louisiana. This is the story of the #renovation of apartment seven now known as Daisy. It’s tricky to show you apartments 6, 7, and 8 because under roof, most all of the walls were torn out and it was basically a shell. I was told one of the former owners used it as lawnmower storage. 😩 Luckily building 2 in this complex is an exact replica so we were able to use the existing floor plan of that to re-create the torn out walls. This building was in the worst shape of the three and I think you’ll be surprised by how well it turned out. And spoiler alert this is our most booked villa! Take a watch of this major renovation project. Be sure to share with or tag friend who appreciates bringing history back to life, or fun, cozy decor! if you want to shop this villa comment Daisy, and I’ll send you the same or similar sources for most items in this space.

Almost 3 years ago bought a set of eight abandoned apartments in Minden, Louisiana. This is part five in the series of showing you each abandoned apartment, detailing the full renovation. Meet Carrie. This apartment was a total wreck and completely uninhabitable in its before condition. Ceilings caving in, environmental hazards, broken windows and more had to immediately be addresssed. Here’s a quick overview from start to finish of this major renovation project. Be sure to hop back on my feed to watch apartment renovations for units one through four. Stay tuned and make sure to follow @simplysoutherncottage so you don’t miss the remaining three apartment renovation videos. Let me know when the comments with questions I can answer.
