When warm
weather arrives, my mind and soul wander off to the beach. (Unfortunately, my
body doesn’t always get the chance to go) Whether it’s New
England or the Gulf coast, I am physically and emotionally drawn
to sand and surf.
So welcome to my new blog series…
‘Monday at the Beach’
Let’s
go...
For many, the choice to pack up and move to an island
paradise happens only after lifelong dreaming and years of searching. But for this
home, it was an instant decision.
Warm and Cozy Living
Room
The home's open floor plan, original parquet floors, and
West Indies-style vaulted ceilings stained dark brown are more than just appealing,
they are absolutely beautiful.
Tropical Punch
The family room—with its slipcovered sofa, bold coffee
table, and patterned pillows—exemplifies a simple design trick: Start with
neutral sofas, because you can do anything with them, you can change out the
pillows, side chairs, or tables in the room and the sofa still works.
Soothing Master
Bedroom
In the master bedroom, the existing headboard was given a
makeover with soothing blue fabric. The natural vibe of the home is reflected
in the warm wood furniture, bamboo blinds, and seagrass rug.
Outfitted Outdoor
Space
The porch accommodates a family's daily activities,
including seaside siestas in a quilted hammock.
What do you think of this cute little cottage?
Is it move-in ready for you?
Many thanks go
to my friends at Coastal Living for their help with this.
