Why do we love the things we love? The question might seem simple at first, but try answering it- not so simple.
While decorating the cottage I haven't really been focusing on a specific style....I just buy what I love and use what I have and hope it works out in the end. Sometimes I feel I get it right and other times, it's a do over. =)
I wanted to lighten the space as much as possible....so that why I used a lot of white.....I wanted the house to kind of pay tribute to the beach and nature; and so that's where my thoughts go when I'm thinking about how to do the room. Lots of light "beachy" colors and nature inspired art.
I had each of my grandchildren paint a "beach" scene on a 8x10 canvas; to be used as art in the laundry room.
Every-time I walk in that room I just smile; brings back memories of them, plus on a foggy day its just the right amount of sunshine to lighten up the day.
In the Kitchen, these open shelves make me smile, a little bit new and a lot of the old. I think the kitchen will be forever changing....that makes me smile. I painted it all white so I could change quickly & easily on a dime. { I love change =)
We are busy working on the yard....it has been nothing but dirt for the last 8 months {sorry neighbors} The plan is in place and Danny is working it out. We have decided to turn the back yard into a city/french/kitchen garden =) Happy Day
I will be sharing on that real soon.
Have a wonderful day.....What makes you smile ?
