After seven weeks away, we finally arrived back at the beach cottage this week! We are settling in and preparing for a white Christmas. {Are there any two words more lovely than “white Christmas?”} We had so much fun in North Carolina, but it is so good to be home! Was everything this beautiful when I left? Because I could have sworn that the cottage I left in early October was very much “under construction” and making progress at a snail’s pace. It was a frustration. I was glad to walk away from her for a bit. But Monday evening I greeted this sweet cottage with fresh eyes. These white washed walls and crystal chandelier and baby’s sweet mobile welcomed us like a long-lost friend. I have a new boost in renovator’s energy. A second wind. Apparently distance really does make the heart grow fonder.
And I am finding I am quite fond of this cottage of ours. Perhaps I am even falling in love. I think I will celebrate with frequent updates and photos of cottage life this December Christmas season.
Imperfectly beautiful cottage living . . . white Christmas-style.
I hope you will join me.
YES!!! PLEASE do!!! I’ve been craving your beach cottage pics!!
Can’t wait!
I can’t wait to see more! I COMPLETELY understand about needing a renovator’s second breath. We haven’t done too much more since we moved in…it’s exhausting!
Where is that beautiful chandelier from?
