Cottage Charm and Coastal Calm

Leave a Comment / CandyLand of Cottages / David Barwick

Give your home a little cottage charm and coastal calm, even when you don’t live near the sea. You take home momentos of your beach getaways and the memories linger long after, so give your home a beachy makeover. You know. Just a little something to tide you over until you can get your toes in the sand, again. A knick knack, here. A tchotchke, there. A wash of pastel color for your walls, a door or a window. Textures you can touch when you need that little mental break. Whether vintage or brand spanking new, it’s up to you to celebrate what you like and to treasure your time at the beach.

Create an outdoor sanctuary where you can wile away at a leisurely place. Maybe a swing with coastal inspired pillows like this one at Bluebird Cottage & Nest circa 1900. …

What makes us happy? For Mermaids, it’s our happy color boxes by the sea. We love these color tips from House Beautiful and we can vouch for the magic they create! It’s been loads of fun to see just how colors make our lives better! We put our cottages to the color test. How well do you think we did?

Aqua: Inspires Trust

This is the color to use when you need to relax. Wear or surround yourself with it if you have difficulty sleeping, dreaming, or meditating. Try an aqua duvet, vase or painted floor.

Orange: Expands Your Thinking

Revisiting an Old Love in Tybee Island

1 Comment / CandyLand of Cottages / David Barwick

Reaching back to touch upon memories from the past is much like revisiting an Old Love in Tybee Island. Many trains have come and gone, having brought Savannah folks and wealthy Americans to this little slice of the Georgia coast, once upon a time. There were days past when making the 18 mile journey from the Hostess City out to Tybee would have taken the better part of a day and then the railroad came. Excited beach goers could enjoy the leisurely ride out to the edge of the ocean and then take those last longing looks at the sea as the train headed back at sunset. One of the most beautiful memories of that time waits to receive her guests in grand style long after the trains have stopped. Still validating the ticket dreams of those coming to let go of the stresses and worries of life on the mainland.
