Lilly Lampshade.

Remember the adorable pillows we had made by Irene for the girls’ room at the beach?  Well, we purchased extra fabric to cover a ginormous lampshade for their room as well.  I followed this tutorial from House of Fifty.  Let me tell you, this was a total pain in the ass.  I think it’s a two person job.  I didn’t do the best job, but it’s a-o-k for this beach rental.

Room pictures to come!

Beachy Bedding.

I received some source requests for the bedding that we bought for the beach condo.  This was a severe case of design on a dime since we are renting it out the next few years.  All-in-all, I was quite happy with what we bought.
Sea Creatures Quilt – $47.99 |  Lilly Pillow– $32.00
Paige Bedding– $88 each (with coupon)
Flip Flop Bedding– $159   | Pillows- Homegoods.

Instagram on Canvas.

When looking for inexpensive artwork for the beach condo, I came up short.  I wanting something that was cost-effective, large-scale, beautiful and meaningful.  Enter CanvasWorld.
Last year, I took this picture while we were at the beach.
I Instagrammed it and loved how it turned out.
CanvasWorld is awesome because you can get an instant preview of how your gallery-wrapped canvas will look.
And there you have it.  I got a 30″ x 30″ personalized gallery-wrapped canvas picture for $149.99.

Can’t beat that.

Some of you have asked for my Instagram profile.  You can follow me on Instagram here.

Round Here.

Memorial Day Weekend was not exactly a time of relaxation around here.   Karen, Dad and I went back to the beach for one last cram session of work.

On the way into town, we stopped and scooped up some essential accessories.

Many a light fixtures were installed.

Beds were made.

Tile was installed.

Accessories hung.

Tables styled.


And much painting, spackling, scrubbing and moving in between.  We arrived home late Saturday night and I awoke to a little surprise Momma Squatter left us.  Aren’t they amazing???
