Island Dog Cottage

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.

the living room

 

there is a wonderful Bellamy painting in the room  

www.bellamyart.com 

and another in here.....oyster shells (wait until you see the before of this room)

fish and polka dots and black and white..timeless

these lamps were at the office and I thought they belonged here

will show you" the before"when I can figure out how to load the photo.
the blogger "thingie" is not letting me add things.( tearing my hair out)

lots of room for picnics  and  long conversations..on the porch

the view into the black and white bedroom from the living space

the view from the screen porch into the cottage
 and for  some reason can't upload porch or before photos..
HELP..!!!!

Designing For the Young and the Young At Heart

Creating space for young clients .

.Nothing serious...always fun and happy.

Bunk Beds and double bunks are great.

high ceilings make it wonderful

 

 

 

 

 

 

The beds with curtains are so much fun 

 

 

  lighting  for late night reading or ghost story telling

always a place for special things

 

definitely a happy place

 

sometime in small space bunk beds come in very handy.

 

Most Popular Posts of 2012

It still doesn't seem like it's 2013. Does it? Where does the time go? With a new year, comes new beginnings and clean slates. Time to set new goals and create new bucket lists. And as always, I try to keep my blog fun and fresh for all of you. I'm always imaging, dreaming, and creating in my mind. I'm always thinking of ways to make it better, and wondering what my readers want to see from me. So, I did a little research to see which blog posts were the most popular and here are the results!

1.  A Few of My Favorite Cottages and Projects
This was a fun post and I really enjoyed showing you lots of my favorite decor pieces, materials, textures, and colors.

2. A House That Needs A Home
This was a post that was so very dear to my heart. One of our homes on Tybee had been a given a death sentence. But thankfully through the wonderful world of "Social Media" we were able to quickly spread the  the word about this Tybee treasure from the wrecking ball.

3. The Magic of An Old Beach House

4. Slip Covers Are the Best  Slip covers are one of my favorite materials to decorate with. They are so easy to use and fun to mix and match wtih pillows.

5. A Little Sunday Fun at Tween Waters Cottage  This was a fun little cottage to work on.

Did you have a favorite post? If so, I would love to know which one it was. Is there something that you would like to see on the blog this year? Please be sure to share your thoughts and ideas.
