back at the beach

As the cold January days take over, it helps to head towards the beach for a little inspiration.  Although, it is quite cold on Cape Cod, the ocean view warms the spirit :)  Headed down for the long weekend, and snapped a few photos- can't wait to "move back in" in June- much more decorating to do!!!!!

drum roll please....the big reveal (sort of)

It's been a while-  we are finally settled in  and loving our summer at the beach.  The kids are taking sailing lessons and making new friends.  I have met some wonderful people and can't believe how fast the summer is going.  This afternoon, the light was absolutely beautiful so I finally took some photos of the almost finished product.  We still need a few things- and I am still working on a painting for over the fireplace, but here it is so far :)  BTW- thank you sunbrella....the wet bathing suit theory has already  been tested on all of the sofas, and you came through with flying colors- yup, all the couches and sectionals were slipcovered in sunbrella indoor-outdoor fabric- and they are fabulous!

 The master and kid's bedrooms weren't "photo ready" yet- so stay tuned :)

Just to keep things interesting.....

Yes, we needed a crane to bring the island countertop in..... 

it made it, safe and sound. 

Remember the Ann Sacks blue backsplash tile.....it's being installed today- so beautiful, and is the inspiration for the whole house- had to have this gorgeous shade of blue....everywhere!

 Robin found the perfect tile for the fireplace- the same ocean blue...

The painters have tackled the lime green stripes in the powder room-

almost there :)
