New Slipcovers for Calypso Cottage....

The new slipcovers will work great in the colorful living room at Calypso Cottage. I love just being at this cottage and I have shared several of the rooms in previous post.( the polka dot picnic table and the old shutters headboard with the orange bird lamps )
There is not very much light in the space so we decided that COLOR would bring in the sunshine. The clients love color and so here goes....A very happy place for Gus, my four legged friend and family pet and happy colors.

The living room..with the new slipcover and throw pillows.

A Small Space That is Large on Fun!!!!

This is a project that I really had fun with. It was a mix of two households that came together in an apartment at the beach.
I kidnapped a Bellamy painting from the client's larger beach house to hang over the sofa and mixed colors ,fabrics, textures with few funky additions.

The electrical is unusual and it is a bit of a problem  because  of codes at the beach in lower spaces. It looks a bit odd but following the building codes at the beach is very important.
Just focus on the wonderful colors!!
Anna was out of school and she helped me.. She had 3  buggies full at Target and 2 at Home goods. She is now Mrs. Anna  Lee and married to a wonderful person.
I am trying my best to help them with their new home plans. I  want them to move to Tybee Island and live on "tybee time" just as I do.
We created this space in a little over a day. ............

I am crazy about orange.....and pink!!

this is a great Bellamy that hung at the client's main beach house.I kidnapped it to hang here because it fits great.. colors and size. The  apartment is 500square feet so the art is "front and center" when the door opens!!!!! 

pink, orange. green and the great tangerine lamps (Target.. Woo Hoo!) 

A mix of prints and a touch of Purple make for some light hearted fun.

men and their boats and their fish......

The photographs of the fishing trips and the great white leather chair with nail heads

A Pottery barn oval dining table  and custom oyster shell candle sticks made from local oysters. The place mats are doubled for extra interest  and the  turquoise dishes  are faux pottery from Target.

I love this....World Market and a yummy turquoise inside

the other bedroom...  a daybed and twin bed.

a pinch of orange....World Market.. the mirrors are from Nadeau.
