Anastasia Island and Beyond





This is our playground, the water was a little chilly, but the sandbar water was warm for wadding. Picked up alot of Cockle Shells, might cover the fireplace with them. Bye bye Atlantic Seaboard we are headed north to Lake Michigan and sandy beaches. We have the best of both worlds. Thank you God.

Happy Easter


We will be on the road first thing Easter morning, driving to Spartanburg North Carolina. Cross the Appalachian Mountians on Monday and roll into East Bernstadt Kentucky early afternoon. Some bunnie sent us an Easter card! Thank you:)

The $60 Sink Top


Been trying to get a good shot of the bathroom but it dosen't have alot of room to stand back and shoot a picture! I thought the walnut table top made a great sink top for the price. I can either paint the plumbing black or skirt the sink to hide the pipes. But they really don't show because you can't stand back far enough to see them:-)

Lynlee Sky Yellow


Steve painted the front of the house yesterday. We chose the yellow because his sister painted her door going outside from her porch this yellow and it was so cheerful. The colors are as follows; Sherwin Williams Butter -up, Respite Blue and Dover White. Steve's favorite white is Dover, he uses it all the time! Click on the picture for a close up of the rafter tails, Steve is painting them yellow all the way around the house, such a sweet detail.

Three Days Left


Packing all the breakables and textiles in the Jeep. The hard pieces i'll pack in the Suburban with the dogs. I always tell my customers to buy what you love and it will all work together. As I start to pack up I realize that that is good advice! Look at this vignette that was bought at different times in separate shops. I love the play of colors and shapes together. Reminds me that I painted my walls Hot Pink and Begonia Orange along with the Khaki color in the "bedroom" at Anchor Cottage just before I left for Florida!
