When warm weather
arrives, my mind and soul wander off to the beach. (Unfortunately, my body doesn’t always get a 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...
Diamond in the Rough
One of 19 small, shingled homes along Defenders Row on
Goat Island on the Rhode Island shore, the
Southern Cross offered unparalleled views of Newport
Harbor on one side and Narragansett Bay on the other.
Watery-Blue Living
Room
The interior look was based around seashells and watery
blues and greens. A mixture of casual wicker, wood, and soft upholstered
furniture creates the perfect mix for a beach cottage.
Deep-Blue Bedroom
Bright white forms a clean backdrop for deep blue accents
in the master bedroom. The four-poster bed is positioned directly in front of
the balcony, giving an unobstructed view of the harbor.
Relaxing Sunroom
A sea grass rug, wicker and wood furniture, and plenty of
streaming light from the French doors fill this sunroom. A few nautical accents
recall the idyllic setting.
Polished Kitchen
The green squares faux painted diagonally on the floors
add a touch of whimsy. “I wanted to inject some color beneath your feet,” the
homeowner says. “This was the perfect solution.
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.
