I know it has been a while since I blogged…….

I have been  busy creating spaces and making new "Home Sweet  Home" spots..almost around the clock since March. It has been wonderful and colorful and happy but a bit hectic.


 Cottage on the Green has two units  for a great vacation.    My friend and the owner of the cottages rents them www.frontporchvacationrentals.com

Color And The Simple Laid Back Lifestyle.

Details and a bit of this and that…
I have been working on putting my office back together after a Coastal Living  photo shoot. It happened last week and I still  I can't find the  "taking car of business" things that I need. Therefore I am relaxing with Lance, the office kitty, and reviewing the past 15 years in technicolor ….I am pondering my new projects  while visiting my old ones.
My client are the center of any project.  I work around their  houzz photos, pinterest pages, their magazine articles, their "can't live without" list and the actually sizes of the the rooms and spaces . I try in some cases to keep them from over spending and over buying until we get the basics in place. Tiny space does create limits and EVERYTHING  that goes into a room has an impact…no so much with larger spaces.  The key here is to not overload the room.
In reviewing my photos, I realize none of the spaces have gone out of style or look dated.  They are a mix of "what we had on hand" and what is interesting and unusual that I ran across in my travels.
Then it came to me .. ….What I  create  for them is a  Lifestyle. Some are more formal, more sophisticated , but some are more bohemian, more "rusty crusty" but all definitely in the Island Style.
Some are casually elegant while other are simple and calming. Some are wild and wooly and some are a mix of what the client owns and how I mix it with a few new pieces.
I love it!!! Not many rules apply…. (other that the one I previously mentioned)

my most favorite shutters found a home at the beach...













































Happy Island Sunday……………….

Pink Garage Doors…Are You Kidding?


Not kidding…..Pink Garage Doors….

 Just having a little lighthearted Tybee fun. My new clients are great!!!!! They love pink ..zebra..and old cottages made new. This is my favorite pink bike in front of these wonderful original  old doors. I am recommending adding a small awning above the doors  with a wonderful brackets….I just happen to have a few I bought in Nashville last year. I have been saving them for something special and this cottage just may be it.
the type of awing  except it would be 5 v-groove galvanized tin ….Luscious little Cottage pink was to deep a shade for the new cottage so the color is called Party Time a Sherwin Williams color.


oh yes….fabric samples in the new basket on my bike.

And YES more fun.. Pink Zebra shutters...

can't  wait til these go up!!!!!

great wooden walls and old pine floors

More happiness inside….( the horseshoe crab with a map on it is the first thing to hang on the wall)

the old garage will have more sleeping space  upstairs 


landscape .. shutters..picket fence design and maybe just maybe a pool!

a wonderful old cottage  at Tybee getting  refreshed

It was in amazing condition and even had the original  wooden screen .
The  new owners had the old window reworked and they open with ease so the ocean  breeze can blow though the cottage

steps to the extra sleeping space above the wonderful old garage.

love old door with the original glass door knobs

the owners promised their 6 year  old son a tire swing in this tree….cant wait!!!!
Stay tuned…it will be a Tybee Cottages vacation rental.www.tybeecottages.com
