The Best of Fleamarket Style

I feel very honored to have some of my designs projects featured in the Best of Flea Market Style Magazine.
Hear are a few images. 

 It is a magazine after my own heart. A mix of old and new to create one of a kind design .  I will always love magazines . My favorite thing ..a stack of magazines and a cup of sleepytime tea....unwind and sweet design dreams.

New Year..New Cottage

After  much renovation...(.and blood sweat and tears) a beautiful and much loved cottage is open for business.   The business of making wonderful Tybee Island memories with friends and family at the  Coral Cottage. It will be a Tybee Cottages Vacation Rental      www.tybeecottage.com.  Send them an email  until the photos are on the site.




Living Room

The walls are painted a color other than white because they are sheet rock . I selected a color that would compliment the great  turquoise stove ( Sherwin Williams buoyant blue). My goal was soothing and relaxing.




Living Room .original fireplace with a  nautical chart that was left in the house. I love the contrast of the old and the IKEA.

Detail.. a light from World market. the shade and the cord are sold separate

the television will be mounted over this great chest that the cottage owner, Vicky Patton painted.....Now the twig crab is just resting there and my cup of water.. tee hee

Dining room and coral chandelier

this piece was original to the house  but we added color

detail of an ebay or etsy print that Vicky bought. The mats are painted HC1 Ben Moore to created interest and contrast

a yummy shrimp salad   would look beautiful in there



view into sun room from dining room  a great mix of old and new with lots of coral touches


 

the sunny wonderful sun room

I love the kitchen. It is small but packs a great  dose of happiness. The homeowner,  Vicky Patton  has  a great blog that she started about the entire experience.... Very Very Vicky blog spot. It is great. She is quite the  Internet shopper and bargain hunter.I love that about her. She lives out of town but both she and her husband were both born in  Savannah.



the stove was also original to the house (but not the turquoise)
 

now if this isn't fun nothing is...

 Added the same chrome detail to the edge of the  soft grey laminated counter tops....very retro and the bar stools will also be retro style( they are on the way) and I will post a few more photos.

had the stove painted and re chromed.. even the light on the back works. It has great storage

the outdoor shower can be seen from this window



how fun is this!!!! Vicky tells you how to find this fun piece on her blog.

My client gift to Vicky and Henry.. I took one of the  the original window and had my favorite cottage words painted on it for her ( the contractor replaced all of the great old windows and we all know how I FEEL  about that!!!! Boo Hoo)

I need to educated that nice man....

 The Coral Cottage was a big hit on the cottage tour last month... especially the retro stove....Happy New Year. 
 

Sweet Little Splash Shack..........................

I fluffed a  wonderful little cottage with Anna today. We have so much fun moving thing around and making list and brainstorming for this cottage.
It is a vacation rental by http://www.tybeecottage.com/.
The beach isn't within walking distance but it has a wonderful swimming pool and the beach is a 3 1/2 minute drive to Northbeach and lots of parking. The Tybee light house and the North Beach Grill are also right there.


It  is a true cottage that just wraps around you when you enter the gate and you feel relaxed and comfortable from the first moment you step up on the porch.



Normally the margarita's sit on the (little school desk turned porch bar)... waiting for Jimmy Buffet  to sing to you...

See Jane Work!

Hi Friends,

Happy Friday! This is Crystal again. Okay show of hands please! How many of you have wondered what the Designer Diva's office looks like? Well sit tight because I have a treat for you today. I sweet-talked Jane into letting me take and post some images from her office. I thought some of you might like a little peeksie too. But before I get on with the tour, I just want to remind everyone that the deadline for the Summer Giveaway is today at noon sharp. If you haven't commented yet, click on this link to get your name in for a fabulous pillow sham and her book, Cottages.

Most of Jane's work is done at a client's home. And for those times that she has to come into the office and do boring things like paperwork here is where she goes.

Her office is very unassuming, and is located in the breath taking district of Isle of Hope.

No matter what angle you stand at it's simple gorgeous. I love all the Spanish moss dripping from the oak trees. It speaks to my heart and I feel very at home when I'm surrounded by it.

This is the house next door to her office. 

Won't you a seat!

Meet Lance. Or, as I lovingly nicked named, Lancy Pants. I wanted to bring him back home with me. 

Jane pays attention to even the smallest details. Look at this color paired with black and white zebra rug. LOVE IT!

Be still my heart. This is the view from Jane's desk. Seriously, who could get any work done looking out of a beautiful window like this. Reminds me of a Thomas Kincade calendar.

I think she must own every book on decorating known to man. 

I fell in love with this little chandy. It's so petite and darling. 

Love the owl lamp from West Elm.
