If I had a Beach House....

..it wouldn't be too ginormous.

I would want something where I can enjoy each room and make the most of those rooms.

Something with character and charm.
Where the beach was my front and back yard.

Where tall beach grass swayed in the sea breezes.

I could either sit in the sun and soak up its warmth

or under a porch to nap or be sheltered as I

watch an incoming storm

or the moon rise over the sea.

I would have stairs that lead down to the beach and then

to a dock where I could sip my morning chai and watch the sun rise.
(of course a Starbucks would be walking distance away :) )

The inside would have rooms with character as well.
Planked walls and ceilings

with floors covered by old wood that squeaked when you walked on them, telling a story of
a time before.

Windows would have sheers billowing in the sea breezes.

I would have a place to retreat to

to soak my cares away.

Romantic rooms with views and fireplaces to cozy up to on a cold night.

A room that feel like you are outside yet sheltered.

Every room with a view of the sea.

A place to hid and paint.

A bedroom that starts and ends my day with the most beautiful view.

I would surround myself with treasures from the sea

I would want to be close to a town where I could stroll along the docks

and little stores on a wharf.

Small town charm.

Is there such a place?

Honestly I would love to live in Cape Cod or Nantucket, that would be my dream. 

If I could just convince my family and friends to move with me that would be perfect!

oh yeah, and win the lotto. :)

Thank you for letting me dream a bit, I had fun looking at all the gorgeous beach houses and rooms.

Maybe one day it will happen, until then

thank God for Pinterest and blogs!!! :)

I will taking a little break this week, I am behind on things and I am still under the weather and pretty convinced that I will be sick until summer.
BUT,
I did see a Robin the other day which, in Michigan, means that Spring is not too far away.
Let's hope. :)

I wish you a happy and healthy week!

hugs!!!
