OH I LOVE A GOOD EXCUSE TO PLAY HOOKIE....TODAY WE HAD A GREAT EXCUSE....LOTS OF SUN, 75 DEGREES, A BOAT, AND OPSAIL 2012!!

OPSAIL WILL LAST A FEW DAYS BUT TODAY WAS THE PARADE OF MILITARY SHIPS. REALLY COOL SEEING THE WORLDS LARGEST NAVY BASE SHOW OFF THEIR BEST.

HOW LUCKY AM I THAT I GET TO LIVE HERE?

BEFORE AND AFTER: BEACH HOUSE FAMILY ROOM

June 1, 2012 lucy williams

THIS WAS A FUN PROJECT....MY GOOD FRIEND'S PARENTS DECIDED TO RENOVATE THEIR BEACH HOUSE AND KINDLY ASKED FOR MY ASSISTANCE. WE CAME UP WITH A COLOR PALETTE OF COOL BEACHY FABRICS AND WENT TO WORK.

TODAY WAS MOVE IN DAY.....AND THE MISSION? FIGURING OUT THE BEST FURNITURE ARRANGEMENT FOR THE FAMILY ROOM.

THE RESULT? AN INVITING SPACE WITH TONS OF SEATING BUT DOESN'T LOOK CROWDED!

HERE ARE A FEW BEFORE SHOTS FOLLOWED BY THE AFTER!

AND THE LUCK HOMEOWNERS CAN'T WAIT TO HANG SOME PAINTING FROM THE VERY TALENTED ARTIST (AND THEIR DAUGHTER!)SARAH LYTLE

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW HER LARGE SEASCAPE LOOKS IN THE ROOM!

GARDENING.....MY FAVORITE WARM WEATHER PAST TIME...I LOVE IT! ESPECIALLY IN TIDEWATER....THE SOIL IS AMAZING HERE AND THE SUB TROPICAL CLIMATE MAKES MY PLANTS THRIVE! AND EVEN BETTER, MY BACKYARD USED TO HAVE STABLES ON IT! HERE ARE SOME PICS OF THE LATEST.............

THE BEST LIVING SPACES TO "SUMMER" IN FOR 2012

OH THE COASTAL DECOR. FROM SEAGRASS, TO WHITE UPHOLSTERY AND SLIPCOVERS, TO PALE BLUES AND SEA SHELL ACCENTS, THIS STYLE OF DECOR, HANDS DOWN, IS MY FAVORITE.

IT'S COMFORTABLE. IT'S CLEAN. IT'S HAPPY . IT'S BRIGHT....AND SUBDUED. IT'S ACCESSIBLE..... EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND FUN TO LIVE IN.

THESE ARE THE REASONS WHY I SO LOVE THIS LOOK.
