During Spring and with Summer coming,
I always feel "slightly" inspired to do a few little updates around the house.
Now when I say "little", I mean teeny, tiny,
so don't get too excited!!
My little entry way table got a face lift...
more of a seashore, beach feel.
It all started with this "must have" piece from
A new candlestick with a beach scented candle,
my favorite picture of the hubs and I and a
purchased piece of sea glass.
Sand and Shells
For the living room, I picked up these two adorable ottomans
at about $ 120.00 each, I thought they were a steal.
Beautifully constructed...
the top "flips" over into a dining tray,
and the base is open for storing extra pillows, blankets or fun games.
In a pinch, these could even be used for extra seating.
At night, we pull them up to the couch,
for even more comfy t.v. viewing.
I switched up the books on the coffee table and added
the newest edition, number 4, of my blog in print.
I put two pictures under the glass on the coffee table,
I am trying to decide if I should add a few more.
It's a great spot for pictures, but I think it makes the table look too busy.
What do you think?
Nice job! Those ottomans are very cool. Very handy pieces.
ReplyDeletei don't like clutter so i'd opt for no photos under the glass top. i just love that beach rules sign - it is so very you. :)
ReplyDeleteYour updates are very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think you're home looks like model home...except better as it's filled with love.
ReplyDeleteLOVE those ottomans!
Oh I love it all. Especially your must have wall art. And you can never have too many pictures displayed.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the table looks now with #4 n need to put more out there.
ReplyDeleteI love you teeny weeny touch ups it is so homey, inviting and comfortable. I want to live by the beach rules too but I have no beach, Flip flops and manure not so much fun:) Great job. Debbie. Hug B
The updates look good, Debbie. I really like the Cottage Rules. The last 2 are my favorites...Nap Daily and Have Fun!
ReplyDeleteOh I need to get my blog printed. Always love seeing what you are up to. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteLove it all, especially the beach sign. I so wish I could do all that it says!
ReplyDeleteThese are fun updates! I love the sign, and the ottomans seem like such a great idea. I'm impressed that you've printed your blog - what a great idea. I'd say experiment with the photos to see what you like best. I get stressed when things in my house look busy - but that's me. More photos might work well with your style.
ReplyDeleteEeek - just retread my comment. Did it come out wrong? Your style doesn't look busy to me ( I hope that's not how it sounded).
ReplyDeleteThese 10+1 rules are not a problem to follow.
ReplyDeleteDoes it mean that I can also own this cottage?
I have glass on my coffee-table too, never thought about putting pictures under it but I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip :)
ReplyDeleteps
Love the ottomans!
Updates that are quick and easy are always fun, Debbie. Your home does look very inviting and the multi-purpose ottomans were a great find too. More photos under the glass could get a bit cluttered looking, but you would have to decide on what look you prefer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this one. I really like the ottomans; I think we need to get a couple of these. I also loved that you have your blog in print; I am going to think about doing this one.
ReplyDeleteLoved this one and blessings to you!
