Hats Off To Summertime




The winter layers have been replaced by straw hats, flip flops, coconut scented lotion, and easy living. Beach decor should be unfussy and uncomplicated. An all white cottage, some whimsical elements, and an ever faithful golden to toss sticks to at the beach... pretty much sums up my summertime dream.

If you owned a beach cottage, (or are lucky enough to own one already), list the top three elements that would be a must in your decor. 

Have a lovely weekend, Everyone! xoxo

  1. OK, this is good.

    NUMBER ONE: A Yellow Lab.

    NUMBER TWO: A fireplace for the cold nights.

    NUMBER THREE: A kitchen overlooking the ocean so while I spend most of the time in the kitchen, I can see the beauty.

    OHHHH THIS IS SO GOOD!

  5. That straw bag in the first photo is what I want! I guess if I owned a beach house, I would want excellent, comfortable chairs on a patio outside facing the water; one of those outdoor fireplaces; and a kitchen window that faced the ocean....the golden would be nice as well! Have a great weekend, Debby!

  6. Seriously, Debby, your pictures are to die for!

    We owned, past tense, a beach cottage and I miss it terribly. Top 3 elements - 1) sand on your feet and the floor after spending a hard day at the beach, 2) a hammock on the front porch, and 3) white slipcovered furniture.

  8. Oh! I like this question!
    For me, beach houses would need large photos of beautiful beach photography and white drapes.

  9. My dream beach cottage has loads of windows that overlook the ocean, a deck to sit on and listen to the waves lap the shore while the world sleeps, and my favorite little poodle close by.

  10. Debbie, I'm a lucky girl and own a little house in the beach, my three essential there...tons of white, a woven hammock to lazy sunsets, and an outside dinning room...
    By the way, my post this week is also about hats!!, we are in the same frequency again...it's getting rare!!!

    Kisses & hugs!

  12. Ooh fun!
    1. Lots of natural light, both for the light in and the views out.
    2. Wood floors.
    3. A fireplace, because I'd visit in winter too.

    Wishing you a beach house of your very own in Nantucket someday. ;)

  15. My dream beach house is a condo in Miami up in sky overlooking the water (there I go with Miami again). It would aqua blue and white with floor to ceiling windows and a huge terrace. Is that enough??

    Have the best weekend ever!

  16. How I would love to own a beach house! It would have lots and lots of windows, sheer curtains blowing in the sea breeze and all white slip covered furniture with cabana striped pillows everywhere. A dog is a must!! Happy weekend Debby! Any special plans?

  19. Sun all the time I am there, no motor traffic, sea to the front and green backdrop, the rest i can create. I am looking out at a miserable dull rainy day, pictures are so beautiful, I need to take another look to create the illusion

  20. This is exactly what summer's like for me! I'm lucky enough to have a beach house. Essentials are my huge deck with lots of seating, white, white and more white and my beach totes, chairs and umbrella :)

    Hope you're having a great weekend. xoxo
