This cottage was originally built in the 1940's. Located on Izlar Ave right behind the FAMOUS and original T.S.CHU Department Store!

 
 Its amazing how a coat of paint along pops of color and LOVE have changed this gem! Izlar Ave is now on its way to fame with houses along street are changing!

Picking Colors……When your favorite color is White!!!!


It is now time to get serious about the colors of the cottage  called Maddies Beachside Cottage.The owners have left all decisions to me to select the color and fabrics and furniture. There is one large pecan tree on the property and shades and trees are always a consideration when selecting colors.
The ocean is 1/2 block away ( the "information hut" I designed for the city of Tybee) is close by

location! location! location!
 I had thought about bright and Happy colors…………………….

accents against a white cottage

Definitely a funky outdoor space

My colors


my newest color "beachy keen green"
or maybe a new mix of something  more goldish and flamingo coral
                                                      HOWEVER……..

My  personal favorite color is WHITE!!! I love it's simple calm unassuming nature…………...
MOTHER NATURES  AMAZING WHITE SHADES!!

White interiors most of all!!! ( RICHARD  JOHNSON PHOTO)
So My thoughts are many and my decision is still up in the air…or still in the paint can!!!
