We went down to the Gulf coast to have a little down time after all the fa la la-ing
We met with our builder to finalize a little porch remodel
There is a little space on the west end of the front porch that is never used
So we are going to enclose part of it and add a half bath and a tiny bedroom.
I’ve got to get busy and figure out the details, they are starting next week~the bath is only 5’x5′ and I want it to be dramatic and fun. I pinned the above photo from sasinteriors.com
The bedroom space is big enough for a set of bunk beds and a chair…a sleeping place for the kiddos…but I secretly haven’t committed to the bunk beds….the photo is from Houzz.com
I’m thinking this would be a great office space or studio pour moi…but we shall see…
Stay tuned, there is sure to be lots of drama! If you want to take a tour of the beach house the links can be found here
The weather this time of year is unpredictable, after a solid day of cold rain, the next day was bright with sunshine and blue skies
When the thermometer reached 60 degrees we decided to take a slow boat cruise. Look carefully at the white splattered pier and the pelican topped pilings
These funny creatures take over when we’re not around
They entertain all their friends and have dinner parties that we have to clean up!
He finally got tired of me taking his photo and flew off for a while
Most of the boats are high and dry right now
But a warm sunny day will bring them out on the water in no time
We cruised down to the Florida Alabama state line and found the Dolphin Cruise boat all decked out for the holidays
with bright blue dolphins hitched to Santa’s sleigh!
We arrived back at the dock just as the sun was starting to set
It is always breath taking
the water turns pink and the sky gets a periwinkle blue
and sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s water and what’s sky
Stopping to enjoy what is right there around you is the best way to spend time, wherever you are~
a nice reminder from Mother Nature that each day is a new beginning~
