Eagle Cove Haven: Beauty Revealed: part three

NOW! This dock had to be removed - replaced and a cut-out was needed in order to spare our mangrove tree.

So the before dock,



became this!





































The side of Eagle Cove Haven was so sad...no plants, steps and walkways that look like out of a 'fear challenge'.















and the planters and palms were put in!



























The tropical colors and plants started transforming the outside-

No, this is not split frame photography. It's Black/grey to











techno-color!
















We put in these wonderful paths and built the planters to help protect the fruit trees from any salt water issues. The one on the left is a carambola, (starfruit) and the right is a fig tree, just behind is a banana getting started.




























And then there is Milton to thank for my boulders of coral. they were digging up the street for laying in the sewer lines. He was happy to oblige.


















Come on inside:






















This is what WAS there.....

The best part was the little stage of the dining area and the iron balcony. The imagination of a 5yr. old was percolating in my mine. I knew that was going to stay, but in more happy colors.

Fortunately it started changing....






and changing to this:












Unmasking the kitchen:




















Making a comfortable living room:

























This room just feels good-
It is my sanctuary room:




















Scary but a cool color toilet









to much,
much more
userfriendly! and comfortable bathroom!
































This room was screaming to knock down a wall to the existing screen porch:













I loved the change!







and when you want to walk out....














The steps exiting the porch to the patio were just plain dangerous!
All the steps were replaced and my favorite is the Romeo/Juliette balcony. The view is wonderful out ot the bay. It is hard to see the entrance to our canal. It turns a corner at the trees and the water falls into shadow.
