Touch of Texture

I haven’t finished the Kitchen or Stairwell updates - I could blame homeschooling but, honestly friends I’m just not motivated. You know what was super easy to update - the Loo - because after more years than I would care to admit it was time for a change and all I had to do was go onto www.Target.com point and click.

No surprise I traded blue stripes for pink! I really like the simplicity, the texture comes through in the band of gold thread and the fringe. Click here for the curtain. You’ll see I also chose new towels with a great texture and the color is spot on! Click here for the towels. It all works so well with our multi-color woven basket - since we have a pedestal sink this is a necessity that holds extra supplies.

Beachy Bungalows

Here we are in August - the time of year we always vacationed when I was a kiddo. Which got me thinking about a summer long ago - my folks rented a lovely little shingled bungalow with a private beach for a few weeks in Dennisport, MA - which started me on this piece. Let’s take a look at some of these lovely gems.

There are two vastly different beach towns that my family love. Ocean City, NJ with its Board Walk- filled with rides and yummy treats from Shrivers Candy Store and Manco & Manco Pizza and the beatific Chatham, MA located on the elbow of Cape Cod with it’s pretty shoreline and delightful downtown filled with shops and eateries.
