{In my mind} I’ve gone to Carolina . . .

We are still in the Carolinas (now North Carolina) and we are enjoying the most beautiful fall along the blue ridge. Thanks to all who asked for updated Michigan beach cottage pictures. New pictures and decorating ideas are coming soon! I expect a good coat of snow will be waiting our arrival back in Michigan…

Tide Pools and Undertow

Oh good, you are here! I have been waiting for you . . . here on the beach in South Carolina. The beach is magical in the fall, when golden leaves find their way next to seashells and powdery sand. Come and see the wonders of this place. Sit with me, won’t you? Lend your…

Little Girl Grown up

This July, we bought our beach cottage in the small hometown where I spent my childhood. I spent thirteen years away, growing into an adult. Everything my child eyes once saw and knew here, that child, now returned, recognizes. She remembers. Here, I am two versions of myself in the same five minute time span. …

Getting my Ducks in a Row

I spent some time this weekend going back through old posts and putting together a table of contents of sorts. I realized that I have written nearly 400 posts and that a lot of content is hidden far back and therefore hard to find. So I’ve hopefully got my ducks in a row now and I hope…

10 Tips to Style a Bookcase like an Interior Designer {even if you aren’t one!}

I think there is somewhat of an art involved in arranging a bookcase. Bookcases, particularly the built-in variety (which we are very lucky to have in our beach cottage) can add so much interest to a space. But they can also be overwhelming, don’t you think? When you are working on an element that you…

The Beach Cottage {what lies beneath}

How about a beach cottage renovation update? The flooring guy came last week and tore all of the carpet out of the cottage. Signal the halleluiah chorus! We learned from our local historical society that our cottage dates back to at least 1888 (that is the earliest record they have on the house). The hardwoods…

{Answers to your Questions}

Thank you so much for all of the heart-felt questions. I was humbled by them. As promised, here are the questions and their answers in a more readable format. Be blessed! Was downsizing for your family harder than you thought it would be? Or it easier ? Great question! I would say that overall downsizing…
