Home Decor, Decisions to make~

We’re on the coast this weekend, checking on the little remodel

Things are moving along

I did a quick look around and then had to enjoy the magical light just before sundown

Our porch is my very favorite place to be.  It was cold but the wind had stopped and the water was glass

Just don’t turn around

Not quite the ambiance we usually enjoy!  But it will be beautiful again soon~

We’re replacing the original siding with Hardi Plank, it looks like wood but is made with recycled materials and is a great product for hurricane zones.

Unfortunately, the polar vortex made it as far South as the gulf coast

All my little palms are history, so sad.   We learned a long time ago that you pay a price for coastal life, but it’s worth everything that Mother Nature puts you through~

We were hoping to see the new rooms framed up but it was so cold on the north side of the house they had to start on the back side which is protected from the wind

The new little bedroom and bath will be tucked into part of the front porch, and the window will become a door

It should be framed by mid week.  It would be helpful if the cold air would stay where it belongs in the North, the crew couldn’t even work yesterday it was too cold!

Do you like this tile?

It is crazy cool~ very 3-D!

I have to figure out the lighting this weekend, sconces or a light over the mirror?  I guess I need to pick out the mirror…What do you think, driftwood?

shells ?

cutesy?

rattan?

sunburst?

shutters?

I have bought the sink and designed the vanity that is being custom built.  Sounds fancy schmanncy doesn’t it?  It’s not.  My son is building the vanity.  It is going to be as cool as the tile!  I hope…I think…I’m pretty sure…

It’s challenging when you’re not on site everyday, but my contractor texts me photos and keeps me posted.  He is a neighbor and good friend and he rebuilt our house after Hurricane Ivan.  I totally trust him and he can do anything.  So I hope this continues to zip along so I can get back to the important stuff~

Watching sunsets…

I’d love to hear what you think about the mirrors~
