Cabin and Home Updates
Hi there! Just some scattered thoughts and cabin and home updates here before I switch over to relaxation mode with finishing up summer and then scrambling mode as we get back-to-school ready. **This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Beach Cabin Vanity I can’t remember if I mentioned previously that we are using my childhood dresser as a vanity at the Beach Cottage. Tearing out the red, orange and yellow contact paper was surprisingly sentimental for me. Anyway, I originally thought- Great! Let’s repurpose the dresser as a vanity and save some money. I’m pretty sure we did…

Keep reading for the details of our Summer Beach Cabin Kitchen Shelves. *This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! I posted a poll over on Instagram earlier this spring, and while I can’t find the exact results, I believe that the Beach Cabin kitchen shelves won out over our Colonial Home shelves by just a few percentage points. Maybe we will have to do the kitchen shelves at home soon too. For now though, here…

A Cape Cod Inspired Celebration
You may or may not know that I love something inspired. Okay, maybe even a little theme-y. When my sister and brother in law suggested lobster rolls for our Mother’s Day celebration, I was all in. Then, I saw some candles. And maybe sent a text suggesting that everybody dress the part. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. Keep reading for the details of our Cape Cod Inspired Celebration. As a disclaimer, I should mention that I’ve never been to Cape Cod. Someday soon hopefully! **This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! The Food My sister and brother…

A Round Up of Outdoor Planters
Hi and Happy Thursday! Michigan spoiled us with warmer temperatures last weekend, which made for beautiful patio entertaining. Spring, summer, and fall on the patio is definitely something to look forward to! Our patio is slowly coming together and I’ve been adding outdoor planters to all of my carts. It is tempting to wait until the patio is perfectly put together with huge blue hydrangeas (fingers crossed) in the background, but it seems like now is the time to purchase outdoor planters (at least that’s what all my promotion emails are telling me- haha!) so keep scrolling for our imperfect patio and a round up of potential outdoor planters. **This…

A Hotel-Inspired Half Bath
Today I’m sharing Gretchen’s half bath, inspired by the Detroit Foundation Hotel. Since our travel is limited lately, now seems like a great time to bring in all of those travel-inspired designs and decorations. This is entirely Gretchen’s design and work. I was just lucky enough to be on text train and look at all of the beautiful options and the gorgeous results. Keep reading for the details.

The wall mount faucet is in and I’m loving…

Beach Cabin: Exterior Paint Color
Buh-bye, purple beach cabin! Just kidding. Sort of. We are in the process of choosing a new exterior paint color for the cabin. I thought it might be fun to take you along for the process and (hopefully) beautiful finished product.

Tween Girl Bedroom Update
Tween Girl Bedroom Update I think I mentioned a while back that we played musical beds this past winter. Everybody got an update but our daughter’s room was the most work. It was worth it, though! Her tween girl bedroom is coming along so nicely. You can see the “before” of her Vintage Beachy Bedroom here.
