The Beach House

Finally. Finally, I've made it around to post some pictures of the beach house. Mostly because we've been working hard to get it ready for summer. Lots to put together, lots to buy and lots of putting stuff away.

We've been stealing away to the beach house for a few 24 hour periods here and there since New Year's to get things done. We're lucky it's only 2 hours away so we can be home in no time for a game or a birthday party or some other obligation. But, it still feels too short. When we're up there we definitely don't want to come home and we haven't even made it to summer yet so I'm sure that feeling will intensify 10 fold!

So the style is a modern farmhouse. You know the one. White. Popular. But not yet that popular up there. We decided to paint the front door to give it a beachy vibe too. The landscaping is coming when it gets a bit warmer. For now, we have mud! Firepit in the backyard but I don't have a good shot of that. Gravel drive. No garage. Porch furniture to be ordered soon. I'm hoping for a porch swing!

Bunk Room Bath

Bedrooms are mostly downstairs along with the laundry and a few bathrooms. Our bedroom is upstairs along with a very open floor plan which includes the kitchen, family room, sitting area and porch. Decorating is not quite complete but we're almost there...so here's what we have so far. Hoping to get up there for a few more 24 hour stints before spending many a weekends and weeks up there in July and August.
