Let me be the first to say I am sorry for your loss. If I were you, I would study hard the materials and designs that withstood the storm. If tile laid on sheetrock didn't survive the storm, I wouldn't repeat it. How did tile on concrete fare? How about concrete floors? Make your house as storm proof as possible and otherwise inexpensive and portable, if not disposable. That is surely the best way to enjoying coastal living.

For some reason (I don't know what) this discussion popped up on my Houzz feed. It opened at the bottom with the latest comments so I scrolled up to the top to see where it came from and what it was all about. To my amazement, the photo there is of a house I built in Decatur, GA. Why it's in this discussion I don't know but I'm glad to see it. That photo has been saved literally thousands of times, as have many others from the project which you can see by clicking on the "more info" button below it. Of all the photos of the project, I think that one is one of the least interesting. It's just a straight on shot of the front. The one I like most is the one attached, which being at night is a little "moody". In any case, thanks for including one of my photos. And if you haven't gone to see the rest of them, click on that info button below.

I love historical homes and I love the people who choose to live in them and update them and love them so they will be around for another 100 years for more generations to love and update. I lived in one for many years we did so much work in that house, nothing was plum and every time you get into a project something always comes up. Anything structural we got professionals. The only thing I can tell you is to do what is best for you and your family and what you can afford. When you start figuring how much it will cost you, just double that figure in an historical home. I miss my beautiful home, but because of what we did that house will be loved for another 100 years at least. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

How about taking advantage of the built in turn it from a bar into a media and storage center. Place the tv here, store games and toys. Face a comfortable couch or modern sectional facing. The fireplace I would white wash to modernize it hang Roman shades on each side for a contemporary look that will allow you to control the light and for privacy a couple of reading chairs on each side with table that could be used for board games or place to sit a beverage while reading. Since you love the rug use this as inspiration when selecting sofa. I would suggest an easy care fabric that you can add color to with pillows and a throw
