When warm weather arrives, my mind and soul wander off
to the beach.
(Unfortunately, my body just doesn’t get a chance to go!)
(Unfortunately, my body just doesn’t get a chance to go!)
Whether it’s New England or the Gulf coast, I am
physically and emotionally drawn to sand and surf.
What is it that has this effect on me?
Does this happen to you?
So welcome to my blog series…
'Monday at the Beach'
Let’s go...
Marsh Magic Cottage
A sinking marsh-front cottage in Georgia is
lovingly restored and moved to higher ground.
The stripped original poplar
tongue-and-groove boards, heart pine flooring sealed with a clear polyurethane,
and beeswax-polished pine mantel lend a warm, welcoming glow. The off-white
trim is a crisp touch. They oyster shell painting and modern rattan coffee
table lend a coastal feel to the space.
Reclaimed heart pine counters, open shelves,
and a vaulted ceiling exude vintage charm. The 1952 double drainboard sink was
discovered at a Georgia roadside antiques stand.
Sleek and Simple Dining Room
In the dining room, French doors open to a
new screened porch with water views, replacing three small windows and a wood
stove that heated the cottage before central heat was installed.
Light-filled Bathroom
Vaulting the ceilings and lengthening the
bathroom by three feet gave a light, airy feel to the space. The claw-foot tub
lends old-school appeal.
What do you
think of this cute little beach cottage?
Is it move-in
ready for you?
