Kitchen Inspiration

My inspiration for the beach house kitchen floor is this beautiful design from Villa Lagoon Tile, in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

They make the most wonderful REAL cement tile. This one is my favorite!

Savona Field Tile in Aqua.

I think the colors are perfect! If you look closely you will see a pretty shell border. I plan to cut the prints and make the floor for my kitchen.



I also want to thank Jane Coslick for sharing her Tybee Island Cottages. Jane has the most wonderful eye for style and design!

I love the corner pantry in her Amazing Grace Cottage! I'm going to try to make one for my little kitchen. :D



As you can see I have a LOT of work to do!

Thank you Jane and Lundy for your fabulous ideas!

Star Spangled Beach House

I haven't shown you the outside of my beach house for a long time! Today I decided to turn the house around and get back to working on the exterior.

I still need to glue the deck railing in place, touch up paint and figure out what I want to do with the downstairs floor and front door. The conservatory addition will go on the right of the house if I ever get that built?

Jane Coslick was my inspiration for the star stenciled shutters. I love how they look!

Of course I'll need to make some flowers for the window boxes too!

I'm not crazy about the roof trim that came with the house. If I find something I like better I may change that? I've also thought about adding some stenciling there too?

Hope you have a great 4th of July! I'll be doing more "housework!"

Tin Roof Sunday

I've finally decided what to do with my dollhouse roof. I just need to figure out how to re-size this to scale. . .



I'm going to use the little round sticks from my "almost free" bamboo blind. Then I'll paint the roof with some aluminum spray paint. Hope it turns out well!

The photos below are from Jane Coslick's Cottages. I love her use of color! I'll be using these colors in my little house too!
