RENOVATING AN OLD HOUSE is never for the faint of heart. Full renovations take vision, fortitude and lots of prayers to see the process through to the end. “Marie envisioned what the house would look like when she first walked in the door,” says Jeff McNeely, head designer on the project, of Niche Modern Home in Mandeville. Marie and Todd Gregory bought their Covington cottage in October 2020 and began the renovations in February 2021.
