Hello everyone, I hope your week is going well. We are enjoying beautiful sunny days here with some cooler nights. I have been asked some questions about our little boathouse lately so I thought it was time to do a post on some of my favorite photos of it and give you an overview of it. Our Boathouse was built by my husband and son about 6 years ago and since neither of them are carpenters ,I for one am pretty impressed with how well they did. Over the years I think most who have seen it have fallen in love with it too. This is the view from across our pond. This is another angle of the Boathouse so you can see the bumped out windowseat and the little conservatory on the back. We have used recycled materials as much as we could. The conservatory was built with old wooden french doors and an old window on this end that opens in for fresh air. On the roof there is an old patio door for a skylight. I am not sure of the exact measurements of our Boathouse but the main area is aprox. 13 ft by 20 ft. and the conservatory is aprox 10ft by 4 ft. The roof was built with a higher pitch to allow for the loft. First we will check out the covered porch. It is a perfect place for afternoon tea. I collected some old doors and windows from the Restore and Coulson's. The door was an old church door. I loved these old windows that I bought from the Restore before our Boathouse was even a dream but I knew we would use them some day.I love the peak over them . I have been asked for the plans we used but we just picked up an idea here and there and designed it from there. As you come inside the conservatory is straight ahead. The french doors inside were a perfect find as they are smaller and have etched glass which you can't see from my photo. They were white but I painted them green. The big mirrored shelf over the door was from a local auction sale. The conservatory has had different looks depending on the season...... a garden theme here. Lunch in the conservatory with a victorian theme. The nook is one of my favorite spots..... perfect for reading a book and watching the wildlife around the pond. There is a little loft for the grandchildren. An old ladder that was my husbands grandfathers is used to climb up there. The loft Another nook view. I bought this antique iron bed at the 70 mile yardsale for $15.......my favorite treasure of the day. I am looking forward to going again this September. Almost everything in the Boathouse is from yardsales or thrift shops..... I do love a good treasure hunt! The wooden bucket got a coat of soft aqua green paint and some beautiful garden peonies. One of my favorite afternoon teas. The chairs were given to me and I slipcovered them.....the toile was a thrift store find and the other one I made from an old bedspread. The mantel was from a yardsale and the electric fireplace insert was from the restore. The mirror, cupboard and tables were also yardsale finds. A vintage quilt and linens on the old ladder. I enjoy changing the look with different quilts, bedspreads from time to time. Now, I have this vintage pale pink popcorn bedspread on the bed but who knows what it will be next week! The Boathouse was shingled with cedar shingles even the roof. I have no idea how they were able to do the little windowed gable on the roof but I think it adds a lot of charm. I think that gives a pretty good overview of our Boathouse but if there is anything else you would like to know just ask and no I do not rent out my husband and son! Ha! Ha!

Op zoek naar een unieke plek aan zee? Gevonden! Onze twee sfeervolle huizen bevinden zich in Noordwijk. Op korte afstand van de zee en de strandtenten.
Via mijn privé account op Instagram werd ik door Benita benaderd met de vraag of ik mee wilde doen aan de rubriek Photodiaries op De Wemelaer. Uiteraard heb ik eerst even op haar site rondgeneusd, want tot op dat moment had ik nog nooit van De Wemelaer gehoord.

One thing I want to say before I get started sharing photos....do not expect this room to be the typical "beachy" room. I just could not bring myself to do it since it just would not flow with the rest of the house. Hannah wanted her floral pieces left alone since she loved it all, but she wanted the shells, surfboards, beach signs ect. Now when I went shopping, it was hard to find what I was wanting! None of the colors would work in her room, so I ended up painting everything, making my own decorations and revamping what she already had. I still may add a few things later if I find them, but for now it's got Hannah happy at the moment...and that's all that matters. She had said she wanted some blue jars when all of this got started. I found these at Michael's...6 for $15. Original ones go for $6-$8 a piece around here and I couldn't reason that price when I could get these cheaper. I know...some may cringe since they love antiques. But, HEY, it works for me! This armoire is a pain! It isn't quite tall enough to not have anything on top of it. Plus the little half moon blocks low lying things. I think you can get the drift on how annoying it is to find the right stuff that looks pretty and seen. I added the starfish to the front of the wood and glass box after painting it. Finding white pieces is so hard to find! I fell in love with the pale pink roses and daisies in the blue jars! Not too bad after trying everything but the kitchen sink! I did find the beach sign at Home Goods, but you all know I painted it don't you? Plus, I took out the pink toile fabric and replaced it with white in the armoire doors. (wink wink) Hannah was wanting more blue since it is her favorite color. I painted her walls all white last year so it makes it really easy to add any color you want. Behind her door is a collage of posters of One Direction. I was told by our allergist that posters are one of the worst things to have in a room because of how they attract dust. I would have never "thunk" it. So now I try to frame them all. Behind her door is a whole collage of One Direction posters....it's funny how teen girls go wild after singers. Brings back some great memories for me. I had Billy Idol papered all over my pink walls as a teen! To this day I cannot sing "White Wedding" without snarling like him and feeling all giddy! This is her man, so I put her name on him! (Hint: it hides the red 1D on it). She plays her keyboard and dreams....all girls do. I found these fish mirrors at Home Goods and painted them more than once! They were grungy colors that just didn't work. I made the starfish sign and then painted pink coral in between for a little pop of pink. My Mom loves these fish! So I've been told a few times.... This is another piece that isn't tall enough to stand alone....so I have to be careful on what I add over it that won't make it look heavy in this space. I made these pictures back when we redid this room a year ago with fabric and painted mattes. I am so tired of scenery pictures of typical things so this was a breath of fresh air for me! The little pink and white frame and the aqua one were found at Home Goods too...but I painted them. The little fishy is a set that are salt and pepper shakers that Hannah found...perfect colors! She made the bottle herself. She tied 3 old keys (after painting them white) to the top and added a letter inside the bottle. Pretty smart isn't she? Now you see the surfboard I made...it was the last thing I made. I cut it twice, the first time it wasn't pointy enough for Hannah so I drug it back to the garage to jigsaw "again"... We sat and looked at surfboard designs for days until I finally was inspired with something similar to this. It didn't have the waves though. Hannah chose this out of 3 designs...pretty good choice I think! Not too bad for my very first home made surfboard! I may add a little hot pink to it later. Gonna sit on it awhile first. I found this photo online and printed it out. I water colored it then framed it to put over this shelf. I think the photo looked just like her from behind and fell in love with it! Hannah wanted the blocks to say "DUDE". I painted these things 3 times...finally happy with them now! Painting letters are HARD!!! There is the other "fishy" salt shaker. We had shells from our visits to Florida so she wanted some in this jar. I have more somewhere and am planning on adding them to the blue jars on top of the armoire when I finally find them. I love this little arrangement! Her room is always full of light! Can ya tell I moved a few pieces of furniture around too? Her endtable was on the other side making it hard to fit the chair in. Now it all works perfectly! I am glad her room is big! She loves this chair! She has plenty of room on either side of the bed. I have no clue why I had it moved the way I did. You all ever do that? Question why you did something and later realize a better way? A dear friend of mine gave me the middle plate above the closet years and years ago...it was the inspiration for this room and she'll always be a part of our memories. See how well the bedding goes with it? It was meant to be.... I switched out lampshades and added this little basket to keep her laptop in. I hate seeing clutter! The drawer keeps all of her cords and remote for the tv. And there it all is...Hannah's Beach Cottage room. I may just move in and kick her to the basement, lol!
