Beach House Bedrooms

As, promised in my last post, here are a few of the bedrooms from the beach house our neighbors let us use on our recent visit to South Carolina.  Sorry to say, I forgot to photograph the main master bedroom, but this house has three bedrooms that I would consider master bedroom, so, no worries, right?  All of the beds, except the children's, were king-sized.


A close-up of the darling pillows in the kid's bedroom.


I apologize for the quality of this photo, the wonderful light-filled rooms gave me a little trouble, but you get the idea--a cutie of a room.


 This pillow was just magnificent, don't you think?  The whole image was embroidered and beautiful.  I also love how it focused the whole bed ensemble.


 Here's the bed with wicker lamps flanking each side and a master bath just to the right.  Gorgeous window above the bed and the sense of calmness in this room was palatable.


This room felt like a Tommy Bahama decorated space.  It had a wonderful armoire across from the bed for storage and TV viewing.


This was my room and it had a deck to the right that look over the lagoon.  To the left was a Jack-and-Jill bath that joined with the children's bedroom from the first picture.


This sign, which measures about 2'6" x 18" hung in a hallway.


And.......if you love a good story, set in the same area of South Carolina, I highly recommend the book The Color of Light by Karen White.  To read a review of the book, you'll find it here.


Thanks for reading.  Next week, come by and  I'll show you some of my beach-inspired decor.  Till then, be safe.

Beach House Tour



We have neighbors that anyone would treasure...they are friendly, helpful and, most importantly, easy to live next door to.  About a year ago, they bought a beach house in South Carolina and invited us to use it!  I thought it was terribly nice of them, but quietly decided we probably never would until my husband told them we'd love to take them up on their offer this May!  Let me just tell you, this beach house was amazing and I had to share it with you.  Enjoy the tour.



The house sits on a lagoon that is connected to a marsh.  We loved watching the marsh fill with the high tides and drain with the low tides.  Did you know that the marshes are considered the nurseries of the oceans?  The ocean creatures come to the marshes to have their babies and the marshes provide protection from predators.

The fish in this lagoon jumped out of the water constantly and were very entertaining....so was the small alligator!



The dining area was the first area we saw when we walked in.



The living room, just beyond the dining area.
A white slip-covered sofa...be still my beating heart!



That sofa, so dang cute!



The living room chairs.  The navy leather was a recliner and the beachy chair (that I just love to pieces) was a swivel-rocker!  I was just in seventh heaven in that chair!  And I just have to point out that end table with louvers and the lamp too!  Too cute!  (I know lot of exclamation points, but I am so excited looking at these pictures and recalling the good time we had)



These gorgeous shells were on the coffee table in the living room--
love that drift wood piece too!


Come back again and I'll show you some of the five bedrooms.  Most of them had their own bathroom!  A great home-away-from-home for extended family and guests.  

As always, thanks for reading and come back to see the rest of this great beach house!
