Inspiration:: Stylish Beach Cottage

May 30, 2012 By 1 Comment

I had an amazing long weekend at the beach. I got lots of sun {maybe a little too much} and had lots of fun with friends. I so wish I could have stayed a few more days, but it was back to reality yesterday. :(

One of the reasons I love the beach so much is because of the laid back attitude. There’s no agenda, no schedule and no time pressures. I also love when this attitude and style is translated into a home.

I came across this coastal cottage in Galveston, TX on Houzz recently. It has that simplistic beach vibe but with a touch of class and I thought this would be the perfect time to share since I still have the beach on my mind.

I love how this home feels like the beach {light, airy, sunny} without going too literal {i.e. sea shells, light houses, etc.}. And all the decor is very simplistic {true to the beach vibe}.

This vacation home is meant to feel lived in so all the fabrics and materials used are easy to clean and low maintenance, but they still feel elegant.

Love all the crisp white bedding. Makes all the rooms feel fresh and clean.

Isn’t the mirror gorgeous? It definitely feels beachy, with the driftwood finish.

The outdoor living space is also cozy.

Simple furniture pieces are livened up with pops of color from the pillows.

What do you think? Doesn’t this make you wish you had a beach house too?  Maybe they will let me just come visit ;)

Oh and before I forget, the winner of the Katie Forbes scarf giveaway is…

PrintRunner Giveaway Winner

April 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I started and finished a few little projects for my room this weekend and will be giving you an update with pictures very soon :)

I also visited the pool for the first time this year and it was ah-mazing! I love that it’s hot enough to lounge by the pool in April, although I may regret it come July & August when it will probably be close to 100 and almost unbearable to be outside. Oh well, the price we have to pay. I’ll just enjoy the glorious weather in the meantime. Now on to other more important things.

Birthday Giveaway & Etsy Shop Update

March 6, 2012 By 9 Comments

Well friends, today I turn the big 2-6. That’s right, I’m inching closer and closer to 30 ;) {I know all of you reading this right now that are older than me are probably rolling your eyes.}For some reason, turning 25 was hard for me. In some ways, I think I had a mild quarter life crisis. But 26 feels different. I feel like it’s going to be a good year. Fingers crossed!

If any of you have clicked over to my Etsy shop within the last few months, you have probably seen it still on ‘vacation mode.’ No, I haven’t forgotten to turn it off. I got a little overwhelmed with custom orders and wanted to take a break and focus more of my time on my blog and projects. I plan to re-open the shop at some point, but I’m thinking about taking it in a new direction…still trying to figure out what that direction is though, ha!

In the meantime, there’s lots of goodies sitting around. Because it’s my birthday, and because I’m moving and am in the purging mood, I’m offering one lucky reader some free stuff!

The goods::

{Set of silhouette note cards: 4 total}

{And a set of 4 silhouette gift tags}

Good luck! I’m off to enjoy the big day :)
