If you love screen porches as much as I do, Island Dog Cottage is your kind of place. It has an amazing screen porch that sits in the trees and even a day bed for sleeping. The cottage was built in the 1980's and is a TYBEE COTTAGES vacation rental www.tybeecottages.com. It is pet friendly complete with a cottage style dog house....
It has lavender kitchen cabinets this years..four years ago they were green. When we replace the sofa's we may just paint them again.
Note: When the kitchen begins to look tired and worn... add some color!!! Even if it is just on the base cabinets.
I love the mix of of art and vintage furniture and "tybee mall" finds(things off the side of the road )
I had not been in Island Dog for several years and so a bit of fluffing was in order....actually way past due!!!! Funny how purple and the lattice pattern and gold/yellow yellow are "in" this year. These slipcover are 7 years old . I got the fabric for $7.00 a yard and it took 38 yards for the slip covers. I am not about using the "latest" things or current trend but about good quality and good prices....and great bargins.
