Rainy Day Sunshine......

A rainy rainy day again so I took my camera and went for a walk. ( I realized I dont melt..so I love walking in the rain)

The wonderful Tybee Shutters Cottage was in my path and seeing it again definitely brightened the day.
The owners were in town and I had been there earlier discussing a few projects for the upcoming months. Hopefully one day they will be here full time . They  love Tybee and will be an asset to our little island...and did I mention they are animal lovers..willing to help with the cause. They have a rescue dog, named Sam. and 8 indoor kitties.
Old original shutters from a home on back river were offered to us during the renovation. We used them as a headboard in the master bedroom , as the outdoor shower surround and everyplace we could.

the tree motif is unusual  on our island. I called the family who owned the house but they did not know why their grandmother chose this

 a picket fence ,an outdoor shower, an ocean breeze, a screen porch, a few back river chairs and bright happy colors....
the Perfect formula!!!!!

a touch of melon on the skinny benches is the perfect contrast.....

faking a window where we needed one... with the shutters

the tiny storage shed.. waiting for bright red geraniums!!!!!

t

see the original hardware on the shower..LOVE THIS!!!!

now the shutters are the outdoor shower door.

 

even the clothes line is great with the shells
