Designs


JB and I are having our fill of fun decorating our Provincetown house. We bought this wooden screen for cheaps and took a chance it would make a fine bedpost. We bought the bed covering at the same discount store and we are giggling over how classy clever it all looks.


 The kitchen is another matter. The ceiling is low and there is nothing short of a serious rehab that will make it what we envision. So that means time to save money for remodeling. Probably two years worth of time. But that's alright. 

We will (must) be renting the house out for multiple weeks this summer and preparing for that is (mostly) fun too. We're shooting for cozy comfort with a touch of seaside whimsy. 

I know full well we are lucky lucky ducks to have this house. It's a block from the ocean and it's cute.

And we've just begun. 

Happy Spring in this part of the world. What are you up to? I'd like to know. 

love

  3. Well, I am recuperating from surgery so I have an excuse not to work. But I am most excited about creating a beach at our lake house. We tried last year to do it ourselves but didn't count on the wake from passing boats eroding the whole thing. We just met with a landscaper who will do it correctly, and hopefully make it look beautiful.

    Other than that, I am now waiting for this new 2 inches of snow to melt so I can start getting my gardens ready.

    Love your house. I may be calling someday to get rental info : )

  8. Love your bedroom! Well done. I have enjoyed spending time with my mother and other family members in the North Island, and am about to board the plane home to the South Island.
