SAUGATUCK, Mich., March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Johns Manville
(JM), a leading manufacturer of premium-quality insulation and a
Berkshire Hathaway company has partnered with Company & Cottage
to provide insulation for the renovation of a small barn into a
hand-crafted cottage near Saugatuck,
Mich.
Just off the coast of Lake
Michigan, The Little White Barn is undergoing full
renovation by Christine and Gabriel
Bridger of Company & Cottage. The Little White Barn will
become a three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage with all new
appliances and brand-new insulation but will maintain its rustic
barn charm by preserving the original wood paneled
walls.
Company & Cottage is a family owned, operated and local
business that restores decrepit cottages into beautiful,
destination locations in Western
Michigan available for rent or purchase.
"JM is happy to help Company & Cottage complete this
renovation by providing the insulation," said Christina Martinez, retail marketing manager of
building insulation at JM. "We're confident that the work of
Christine and Gabriel will transform the worn-down barn into a
lakeside escape that will not only be peaceful and charming, but
energy efficient and comfortable due to the benefits of proper
insulation."
On Michigan's lakefront,
Christine Bridger and her family
began overhauling The Little White Barn in January of 2019. The JM
insulation is set to be installed at the end of March.
"Renovating this 1907 barn requires starting from the basics,"
said Christine Bridger, principal
designer for Company & Cottage. "There's no existing insulation
in this space. Insulating an older home is crucial, especially when
transforming a formerly functional barn into a livable rental home
for summer getaways."
The project completion date is June
2019.
