1930's COTTAGE FLUFF

Bead Cottage.. 


lovely little Bead Cottage
tybee Island

the new shutter gates

new euros on the day bed


the twin bedroom

the queen bedroom




original doors


I love spending time here
the bookcases are original to the cottage..room dividers and storage

tiny cottage but big on space planning
I love this idea
cottage detail in the kitchen
sitting by the little electric fire place pondering the beauty of this magical   cottage

AND the beautiful  giant screen porch that over looks the pool



the tybee "swimmin' women"




 

lunch and a dip in the heated pool?

Next Stop Celeadon Home





I always stop in Mt.Pleasant SC. when I take my trip to Charleston.
I love to go to Celadon Home. www.celadonathome.com.


so many interesting and unique things


you know I have a " passion for pillows"

great hooks



lamps,, tables, rugs pillows , and furniture









an oyster shell lamp base

glass top with steel

love these chairs

nail head high back

hope my client loves this.. it is very big but dramatic






LOVE this...desk..  I live in 670 square feet so it wont fit...
wonderful children selection


They were also having a sale...Don't you just love a sale?
Always thought I would love to get a van and take a shopping trip to all the fabric stores in the south...Celadon has fabrics you can order .They have large samples of many fabrics at good prices.
I did find some nice stripe outdoor fabrics which I made into pillows for the latest cottage project.

ONE TWO THREE SHOP.....



TOOK THE DAY TO MAKE A RUN TO CHARLESTON SC TO VISIT A FEW OF  MY FAVORITE STORES THERE AND SEE WHAT WAS ON SALE.

I HAVE A CLIENT THAT IS GOING TO NEED SEVERAL PIECES OF FURNITURE

AND LAMPS AND RUGS AND ACCESSORIES 

GDC IS HAVING A GREAT SALE  SO I TOOK A FEW PICTURES ......

GDC HAS WONDERFUL FABRIC AND I  LOVE FABRIC.

I EXPLAINED TO MY CLIENT THAT IT IS  A COMBINATION OF ALL THE ELEMENTS  OF DESIGN THAT CREATE A HOME...NOT JUST THE  FLOORING, OR THE CABINETS, OR THE TILE OR THE LIGHTING OR THE FURNITURE.
 IT IS THE LAYERING OF ALL THESE THING COMBINED WITH WALL COLORS
AND RUGS AND FABRICS AND LAST THE ACCESSORIES.

I AM NOT CERTAIN HE UNDERSTANDS THE CONCEPT ...BUT I WILL KEEP WORKING ON HIM.

A FEW THINGS.....























HUNDREDS OF BOLTS
THAT IS GIL... HE  IS FAMOUS AND TALENTED AND  FUN .... AND KNOWS SO MUCH !!!!
 ALL THE STAFF AT GDC  IS  VERY HELPFUL.
(I LIKE THE PAINTING BEHIND HIM FOR THE CLIENT )
