It's been a quick tour, only 650 square feet in our tiny little cottage.
Last but the not least, the back hallway and porch.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
We just did a couple things in the hallway-first we painted it all white.
Added the B E A C H hooks purchased from Hobby Lobby and a couple other accessories:
Sunset silhouettes:
The top is my daughter Sidney with her best friend.
The bottom picture is of my siblings & cousins when we were younger.
I made this nautical beach mirror, experimenting with a stencil made from my Silhouette and some leftover paneling from a project at home. Tutorial in my next blog post.
Head through the back door and onto the porch.
I found this rug at IKEA and painted on some fish.
We had an outdoor shower built last summer. A great way to keep most of the sand out of the house!
We've got several hooks for bathing suits and towels.
I found this sign with the hooks and it said something like "Let's go fishing."
I decided to sand it down, paint it and add my own beach phrase.
It's perfect for the Beach Brush (made by my daughter & niece)
and wooden fish on a rope (something I crafted up from some leftover wood).
Life is DEFINITELY better at the beach! My parents have a beach condo and we always say--A bad day at the beach is better than anything else. There's never a bad day at the beach, even if the weather keeps us inside! Love your place and all the upgrades!
ReplyDeleteI love your little hideaway. You've fixed it up so cute! My husband's family has a great cottage right on Lake Huron and if I could only get my hands on that place to do whatever I wanted...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the silhouette pictures...
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm bj from Sweet Nothings..not sure how I got here but sure glad I did.
ReplyDeleteI have just spent the last 20 minutes admiring your adorable cottage by the beach. You have done WONDERS and your photos belong in a cute magazine.
I think everyone should have a blessing such as this. Love it.

Thank you for visiting me! Oh my gosh, I love your little cottage! I'm more partial to smaller houses. I love your fish door mat and outside shower, so cool! I would love to have you join my link party. Mary :O)
