Island Home

Trudy Crane September 4, 2014

This is a dream home on Harbour Island and can I tell you it is....well I find it an amazing WOW! It feels delicate, beachy, refined, colourful and all white at the same time. The walls and ceiling are so perfect with the white washed wood and the great marble floor. The touches of coral throughout the home is so beautiful and what about the kitchen. Such a good idea to add that gold and white wallpaper. Really just perfect!!

Bright Beach House

Trudy Crane July 16, 2014

Such a pretty beach house with wonderful neutrals and brights from Coastal Living. Beachy feeling with a mix of wonderful fabrics on the headboard in the bedroom, stripes in the living room and dining room and super cute fabric in yellow on the chairs in the breakfast nook...very adventurous. All natural sisal carpets throughout and natural wood on the ceiling are the perfect compliment to the colours in the house. Of course what a view from the the sun room and what a view of the house .....talk about curb appeal!

Best Beach House Porches

Trudy Crane July 12, 2014

So what does it take to make the best Beach House porch? Well I would say you need to have 5 things....

First I would say you need the best view! Why be near the water and not see it right. Nothing better than looking from your porch out onto the ocean or lake...so peaceful!

Second you need a great place to crash...cozy seating and lots of cushions for me. I love the idea of having a big cushy couch and maybe a porch swing or a rocker as well..so relaxing.

Third has to be a good spot for dining. Someplace that you can add nice lighting and enough room for friends and family to sit with you.

Four would be a good spot to sunbathe...just to lie out on a long chair and catch a few rays.

Lastly I would want part of the porch to be covered. A nice spot to get out of the sun but still take in that amazing view.

What would you need your dream beach house porch to have?

Cabin Decor

Trudy Crane June 18, 2014

This little California cabin is all vintage and a cute little hideaway for two. This couple had to be creative in their redo of the house as it is only a rental. Nice neutral tones with touches of yellow give a good accent for the wood panel walls. A cute little wire basket is perfect for the bar and a minimalist kitchen is brightened up with colourful accessories. Feels like the perfect rustic cabin decor to me!
