Romantic Homes...

The July issue of Romantic Homes ran a nice story about my "Thoughts". I know school has started and as usual I am running behind...My Dad always said, "The faster I go the 'behinder' I get.

I loved the name  of the article ."Hello Summer", and it still feels just like summer outside to me.

Actually living on an island in the South feels that way year round....Flip Flops most all year round.

This room is one of my personal favorites...salvation army.. Paris Market...One fish Two fish...Celedon....Eggsentricites in Bluffton SC and great linen from GDC in Charleston SC...Local shops some things .

the colors of my cottage collection

great cover / great magazine

The magazine story

99steps to the Beach and Tramps painting. He was the LOVE off my  life.

Tiny workable Kitchens.......and my favorite stool.



Forgive the scans....I still have so much to learn.....maybe tomorrow...maybe next week...

An Historic Little Cottage That Lives Happy....

A great new magazine, coast to coast style BEACH COTTAGES premier issue is out and features one of the cottage I restored  on Tybee. It has "Seaside inspired decorating, tips and great idea". Take a hard look at  this little place and remember.....next time you see an historic little run  down place.....Let your you imagination do come creative pondering....... and you can always contact me if you need some help.......The power of positive thinking !!!!
 .

What made the greatest difference was the amount of windows I added  and the white walls..  Most all the color."Came thru the door"!!!!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AND HAPPY COLORS!!!!.
