Homework has been given an entirely new meaning by the owners of this once-abandoned century-old schoolhouse. Instead of poring over books, Martin Gagnon and Jean-Luc Leblond have laboured lovingly to transform this derelict building by the sea into a charming country home.
“We never set foot in the place before we bought it,” Gagnon says of the structure, which sits on a low bluff overlooking the mighty St. Lawrence River by the small village of Métis-sur-Mer, Quebec. “We simply fell in love with it.”
Here's how to get the rustic look of their vintage schoolhouse reno:
Benjamin Moore paints create an elementary palette. Ceiling, Cotton Balls (OC122); walls, Lighthouse (201860); contrast walls, Yellow Marigold (215530); trim and shelf supports, Seaweed (203510).
