The Garden Folly Guest House

Our architect said, “this is NOT a garage, it’s a Garden Folly!” Our Guest House has a bird’s eye view of the rose covered pecan tree and a vista of the marsh and the Wappoo Creek. When we rebuilt our 1930's garage we saved all the beaded siding and pine floor. My husband enjoyed incorporating many design elements and creative ideas. It was quickly becoming the Taj Garage. We decided it was just the kind of property we enjoy when we travel, so, Voila! we decided to share it with you!

A modern kitchen features a light color palette with a retro green refrigerator, open shelving, and elegant lighting fixtures. Two rattan bar stools are positioned at a white countertop, complemented by fresh flowers and a simple decor arrangement on the nearby side table.
