Spring is Here!

Featured Story

When Jillian and her husband, Mark Biven, decided to renovate their 1930’s home, the goal was not only to transform their Loveland Cottage into a dreamy abode but also to inspire others to tackle some of their own DYI projects. Jillian decided to create the Loveland Cottage Reno blog to enable others to follow along, shop some of her design favorites, and even discover lots of money-saving tips and tricks.

Upon following her journey, I discovered that her Loveland Cottage was the same home my husband was born in and spent the first eight years of his life, small world! Although the home has now found new owners, the story is one I thought would be lovely to share throughout our Loveland neighborhood. 

The couple purchased the home and moved into it two weeks before their wedding in 2019. Jillian created the Loveland Cottage Reno Instagram page and blog late last year to help keep her busy during quarantine. “Our favorite project was watching the dining room/ kitchen remodel. A least favorite project was removing 10 million carpet staples throughout the house – every sqft was covered with the carpet when we moved in!”

Highlight your space with lighting! Beautiful light fixtures can go a long way in energizing or soothing a space, and smart designs can ease eye-intensive tasks. Successfully light a room by creating layers of light with the task, accent, and ambient lighting.Loveland Cottage Reno

Spring is the time to clean gutters and downspouts. After the last frost has passed, it is important to clean your gutters and downspouts and check for damage. Clogged gutters and downspouts can cause the wood trim at the eaves to rot, which can invite various critters into your attic and cause drainage issues.
