Cathy's House...part 2

We're back at Cathy's Delray Beach home with a look into the living room.
An antique iron and glass lamp sits on a stack of books alongside a large white birdcage. 
Another one of Laurie's paintings can be seen above the chair.
It's a painting of Hal and Cathy's summer cottage in Canada. 
The view is from the dock, up the stairs onto the deck.
I love the vintage stool under the table. 
She's had it forever and has used it everywhere.
Now it's stacked with a few favorite books.
An antique drop leaf desk serves as a side table next to the sofa.
Another great painting.
 Handy husband Hal tiled the back sink wall in the powder room with glass tiles. A new medicine cabinet and pedestal sink were also added.
Upstairs in the master bedroom. Cathy searched for shutters that would fit the two narrow windows on each side of her bed. She found a pair on ebay.
One shutter panel worked in each window.
She refurbished them with turquoise paint.
Then gave them a crackle finish. A little shutter love.
The bedroom curtains billowing in a warm Florida spring breeze.

Enjoy your day!
Cheers!

  9. Hi Rita...

    Cathy's beach house is lovely! I love all the sweet details, colors, etc. It certainly has the sweet, serene ambiance that one would expect in a beach house! Ohhh...and I love how Cathy used the shutters in her bedroom! The crackly, soft aqua color is simply divine! A big heartfelt thank you to Cathy for sharing her beautiful beach home with us! Thank you, Rita!
