Happy Monday!

Hello,

We are back from vacation

in Nantucket.

All

rested

and happy.

It's bitter sweet to leave Nantucket but we do

enjoy returning

to our

home.

Only three weeks left before you know what starts....

Can't even think of it right now.

Making sure all homework, summer reading, and projects are complete.

Soon enough!

In the meantime,

catching up on some of my favorite magazines.

I wanted to share this Lake House

spotted in

Southern Living.

I love this picture and wanted to share.

Family photos used on the face of cabinet doors.

Love it!

Here are more pictures of this beautiful

Lake House.

Take care and Happy Monday!

Nantucket House

Hello,

I have to show you the decor of this Nantucket house....


We have been renting this house for eight years.

The kids love it

&

call it the

Up Side Down House.

The rooms are reverse.


The bedrooms are downstairs


and the

Great Room,

Deck

are upstairs.

I think it's a brilliant idea!
(the only thing that is not so much fun is carrying all the groceries
upstairs).


There are trees and bushes surrounding the property so it seems

you are under a canopy.


The deck is along one of the walls
facing the

backyard.


It's really beautiful at night....

This is where we enjoy

listening to
music,

cigars,

and

shooting stars.

It's a relaxing house

to enjoy good times

and

make sweet memories.

Love the decor.

I'm not sure the style of the house.

Not all of the decor is coastal.

There are sea shells and coastal paintings hanging on mantels and above the window sills.

The owners
also added trinkets and decor from places they have visited such as Guatemala.

We feel at home here.

My Mom is from Guatemala
and it seems that it was meant to be to find this house.

We are thankful the owners are able to share their home with us.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.


First walk into the house.


Bathroom between two bedrooms. Couldn't take pics
of bedrooms. The kids were still sleeping.

At the end of the hallway door leading to backyard
and outdoor shower.


Reading room/office right before master bedroom.


At the end of the bed of the master bedroom a beautiful stone
fireplace.


Master bath and shower on the opposite side.


Heading back above the main door. Love the windows and
of course the aqua bell mason jars.

Heading upstairs.


Top of the stairs.

Cute shelves....


His and hers....Love the white slip covered chair.
This is where I read in front of the fireplace.


Stone fireplace.


View of the dining room.


The kitchen. Love this color blue.


Another view. At the end there is a breakfast nook.
Love the open shelves for the dishes, glasses, etc.


Walk in pantry. Had to take a picture of the oversize
bell jars. Need to find some of those.


Behind the couch the kids call it the game room.
Lots of books, games, and pillows on the floor.


Another view of family room.


Upstairs bathroom.

Upper deck...Also love the color blue
on these chairs.


View from upper deck. First thing in the morning.


Another view.
Once the fog clears you can see Nantucket roof tops at a distance.



Take care,

Claudia
