Over three years ago, I bought a 1905 Victorian home that included a burned out, carriage house loft. The story goes that the caretaker was smoking a cigarette, and before he knew it, the loft was up in flames. Here’s a short video about the renovation process. I think it turned out so cute. 🌸The renovation was definitely not for the faint of heart. And a lot of extra steps had to be taken because of the burned out areas. Visit mindenstays.com to book a stay in this Barbie inspired loft in historic Minden, Louisiana! Then, visit my LTK or Amazon shop for links to shop this space. We hope to see you soon in the friendliest city in the south! #mindenla #homerenovation #homeproject #louisianalove #explorelouisiana #travelgram #superhost #airbnbexperience #airbnbstay #renovation #renovationproject #creatorsearchinsights
