In Saving Lost Cottages, designer and author Lauren Liess invites viewers on an evocative journey through the Outer Banks, where timeworn seaside cottages—weathered by salt, wind, and decades of change—stand on the brink of disappearance.

Driven by a passion for history, simplicity, and soulful living, Lauren breathes new life into forgotten spaces, revealing the hidden beauty and stories within. Each episode follows her meticulous process: preserving original character, balancing modern comfort with timeless design, and finding creative solutions for small, meaningful living.

But the series is more than just restoration—it’s a meditation on living intentionally, surrounded by what matters most: family, community, and nature’s quiet splendor. In a world that often races ahead, Saving Lost Cottages is a gentle reminder that the past has value, and that preserving it can forge profound connections in the present.

With her signature aesthetic—earthy, authentic, and deeply personal—Lauren transforms these once-lost cottages into spaces full of light, love, and lasting memories.
