Dress to Decor: Beachy Cottage


The inspiration: Summertime hues reminiscent of aquamarine ocean waters, mixed with cottage style living.

"At the beach, life is different. A day moves not from hour to hour but leaps from mood to moment. We go with the currents, plan around the tides, follow the sun."    ~ Sandy Gingras
                                                   
I love this quote. It is so very true for me. There is something so serene about being near the ocean. I would love to spend an entire summer in a simple shingled cottage. I would spend my days collecting shells, reading books, riding my bicycle, and meditating on what is important in life. Care to join me?        


I am guest posting over at Twirling Clare today where I am sharing some romantic inspiration! 
Here's a little peek:

  11. I love the swimsuit on the gal in the first image. Classy and sexy at once. The quote is so true. I took up paddleboarding this summer and everyone is always asking me about it. I always tell them it is an amazing upper body workout, but at the same time it is serene and calming because I'm on the water. I just love summer.

  22. Wonderful quote and so calming. I find beachy colors calming and peaceful. One day I hope to live in a lovely cottage on the beach. Sounds like a wonderful plan Debby! A ride on a pretty aqua beach cruiser with a wicker basket, a great lounge chair with a stack of good books and listening to the sounds of the waves with not a care in the world. Thank you for a lovely post to start our week.
