Blue Ant Media digital specialty channel Cottage Life has greenlit production on seven new original series, slated to launch this fall.

Decks, Docks and Gazebos (13 x 30 mins), hosted by contractor Colin Hunter, is a reno show that follows a project from its ramshackle beginnings to stunning completion.

And My Retreat (13 x 30 mins) features a cross-country tour of unique cottages, cabins and second homes, while Selling Big (13 x 30 mins) features the heavy equipment auctioneers from the Ritchie Brothers Auction House.

Also on the Cottage Life slate is Cottage Cheese (13 x 30 mins), a look at the kitschy collectibles people keep in their country and summer homes, and Weekend Reno (13 x 30 mins), which features designer Michelle Mawby making over outdated retreats.

And What’s for Sale? (13 x 30 mins) guides families through the finding and purchasing of their dream getaway property, while Cottage Cook-off (13 x 30 mins) features chefs Aldo Lanzillotta and Joanne Lusted and their cottager teams competing to prepare a three-course feast.
