<i style="color: #76a5af;">Hello again, it's been awhile! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">We've been quite busy , but not the fun kind of busy, unfortunately.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;"> My husband has been suffering with his back for almost a year. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">Due to a series of unfortunate events he wasn't able to have surgery </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">for quite a while. He thought he was having chest pains one morning while we were at our home Endless Summer. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">I wanted to head to head to the local hospital but he didn't "think" </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">it was a heart </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">attack </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">we were heading home that day. So he wanted to wait until we were home.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><i>Yes I know I probably should have insisted.. Men</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">When we arrived home we dropped of doggies and went straight to the hospital</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><i>surprisingly he was taken in right away , thankfully no heart attack.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">After he saw a heart specialist , the doctor found one tiny blockage </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">but felt it wasn't worth the risk of a stint yet.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;"> He continued to have pressure and pain and finally ended up with the stint anyway.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="color: #76a5af;">A couple weeks later he was saying he was still feeling the tightness in his chest.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">He was scheduled to have his Cpap machine which was about 8 yrs old checked out at VA . </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">Turns out the Cpap wasn't producing enough output of air when he wore it at my causing him to breath harder. causing , you guessed chest tightness.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">They replaced his machine and he's been fine ever since. However,</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">his back decided to go south. Caused by an old injury from work,</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">he was getting worse and worse. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">He was ready to have surgery but one problem. </span></i><i><span style="color: #76a5af;">When they place a stint they also put you on Plavix, a blood thinner...</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">Which his cardiologist wouldn't let him come off of.. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">He was almost wheelchair bound. We ended up purchasing one of those walkers with the sit on because he just couldn't walk more than a few feet without sitting down.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">My 6'1" husband was was bent over like a 100 yr.old man! After much discussion between us I made appointment for him with the cardiologist. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">I told my husband his dr. needed to see him how much he had deteriorated since he had seen in Feb. It was now first of Aug. I wanted the dr to visually see how bad he was.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">Stunned the dr. authorized his surgery and allowed him to come off the blood thinner. He had his surgery , however he suffered massive muscle loss in his butt and thigh on the right side. His surgery went well but now the weakness in his muscles caused another issue. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">We decided to sell our little cottage by the sea , because it was requiring more work than he was now able to do. Frankly we hadn't been up there hardly at all in the past year.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">We said our last goodbye to our little cottage in December. The people who purchased it LOVED IT and were trying to get us to sell the house with everything in it. Yeah, not happening! I had plans to buy another home , either build it or buy one being built by builder. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">After checking with Hiline homes we discovered it was too involved to work with them! You have to have someone else prep the land, order all utilities brought in , provide porta potty etc. Before they will start, then YOU have to paint the house inside and out , you have to finish any decks , driveways.. etc </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">We didn't want to physically, and literally build a house. We wanted to watch someone else do it all!!</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">In the end we went with a great builder who was building a new home 1 block from beach access. We've been able to pick out our colors, granite , door styles, flooring. the only thing I didn't get to pick was the color of my cabinets because he had already purchased them in a medium grey... hmmm hoping this works out.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">The cabinets look pretty dark under this plastic...</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">I will be posting pictures as we get them. We're hoping to get up there soon to sneak a few pictures and measure windows!</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">In the meantime Terry is doing better, still having PT to build his strength up in his legs , but it's all good.! Until next time TaTa!</span></i></div>

My talented husband has done it again! I found this awesome </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Shelving unit on Birch Lane. I really wanted this just wasn't sure where I could put it! I've decided that I have a furniture problem! Maybe it comes from working in a vintage store where talented ladies find pieces that most people would turn up their noses at and create something new. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there are shops like Pottery Barn & Birch Lane Joss and Main with their gorgeous designs and furniture you never knew you wanted until you see it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right now the shelves are a bit sparse until I can discover those perfect pieces to display on it. In the meantime I am enjoying this lovely piece.</div>

Unfortunately it's going to be a while for any new creations, my husband has a back injury which is putting him out of mission for a few months until he can have surgery.<br />
<br />
In the meantime I am checking out fun stuff like this on Pinterest. Pallet sofa table ! Love!<br />

So doesn't take much to get me headed in that direction!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;"><i> Let me just start there .. My husband ,our daughter , Nicole (Nici to us) and her hubby Derick decided to whisked Nici away to Hawaii , while their youngest 15 yr old. Christian was touring Europe playing concerts with 200 other kids from across America . Her son being the youngest on the tour.... nail biting time for mom... So While he was going to be gone for 16 days , I thought we could at least break up the time with a trip to Hawaii right?? yeah!</i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;"><i> We have </i></span><i><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;">owned timeshare at the Bay Club at Waikoloa</span></i><i><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;"> Big Island </span></i><i><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;"> for ye</span></i><i><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;">ars</span></i><i><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;"> so we headed there. If you ever get the chance to stay in this area it's great ! They have a service where you can order groceries (mostly breakfast simple lunch chips etc) it was awesome . It was nice to know you wouldn't have to go hunt for a </span></i><i><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;">store right away ! They offer free shuttle service to shops every half hour .</span></i><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><i> We inherited a lot of the furniture with our little house , much of it was in good shape. As people do, we prefer to replace it with things of our own taste , which we have been doing little by little. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><i> Our current coffee table is actually quite functional, not bad looking . The top slides open in the middle to reveal a nice deep space for stashing books ,games extra blankets etc. and a lower shelf for additional storage which we use for our collection of board games. The problem is it's size. It is just too big for the space when all the family is there to get around it. Measuring 45" by 24" which probably isn't all that big but with these oversized couches it is. Which we will be keeping for a while yet, it is tight!</i></span><br />

It is amazing how much damage "hidden " damage water can do! One the floor was removed around the sink and dishwasher area , it was discover that water had seeped under the floor to the cabinets warping them as well. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> After inspection underneath the house water had managed to find it's way underneath there too. Good news was it was easily taken care of under the house with massive air dryers. </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> The kitchen cabinets were another story altogether. They had become warped, the drywall was damp behind it and had to be cut out so large portion of lower cabinets and wall were removed as well as the floor </i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i> down to subfloor. the kitchen was completely taped off with industrial vinyl sheeting , heavy fans and dehumidifiers ran 24/7 for about 3 weeks! Trying to dry out everything . It has to be bone dry before remodel can begin, not black mold please!!!! </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>The inspection resulted in complete removal of all my cabinets ( they had been designer built no longer available) and couldn't be matched , my granite counters couldn't be saved, so I received a new kitchen! Thank GOD for State Farm Insurance! Our experience went smoothly , our agent was great! I can not say enough great things about the service we received! our service!

<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>My desk used to be 2 levels a high side and low side , now it's one nice level surface which I love! I swapped out the 2 doors on each side for deep drawers for files and such. The cabinets above the desk only were 36" one full cabinet and the a half one . We went with 42" cabinets and doubles! My wonderful cabinet builder suggested building the cabinet over the refrig out and adding slats so I could place all my oversized cookie sheets and baking pans in there instead of my over worked pantry!

The cabinet over the sink didn't exist, for whatever reason the builder left it a empty space which always bothered me so I had a vintage shelf there. This was a perfect opportunity to add one! We decided to take these up to the ceiling . I have 2 !! ount them 2 pull out spice cabinets for all my spices! SCREAM! no more drawers stuff with spices everywhere!

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i>Back in May we had a pipe burst under our kitchen sink , in our main residence. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i>Let me just say this , I do not know how people stand living in their homes during major remodeling projects! </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i>Our tale started off with a massive water flood under the sink. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i>My husband and I scrambled to clean up the water poured out everywhere! We have manufactured wood floors so water is not your friend! I grabbed my carpet cleaning machine to suction up the water , which worked actually really well . My husband set heaters that had running for the next 4 days just to make sure things dried out. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i>We thought were good , then about 2 weeks later we started noticing buckling of the floor in a area several feet away from where the water had been! </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i>Called our insurance company, TIP OF THE DAY! most of the time these things are covered by insurance if you call right away! Servpro came out and turns out water was sitting under the dishwasher was pushing water out under the floor and as we walked we were pushing along the floor even further!</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i> So new floors right? Wrong! Cabinet was water logged, cabinet that housed sink and dishwasher would have to be removed and replaced. Cabinet people came in stated that cabinets were European specialty order & oh goody no longer made! So now we would have to have all new cabinets! </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i>Our granite counters were only a couple of yrs old so we were hoping they could be saved? Nope , they broke ! </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i>So after 3 full months we have a brand new kitchen , thank God our insurance covered it ! Here is a little peek of our new kitchen new pictures to follow. As you can see Teddy is ready to to head to the beach!!</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><i> Originally this cabinet was in our den , then was moved into our "library" area at this point an area of lost toys so to speak.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><i> We have had this piece for a long long time and I was tired of the oak wood.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><i> I finally decided to sell it. Trying to entice possible buyers, I suggest repainting it in black or beach colors . Offering it for a modest 125.00 ....No sale . </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><i> I had been drooling over some vintage cabinets on Pinterest that had been beach blue, when finally I realized one of the pieces I loved was very similar to something I already owned! DUH! slap my forehead.. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><i> I suggested to the hubby we could bring it back into the den IF he was willing to work his painting magic on it. Accommodating as always, he hauled out our stash of colors. I chose Belize by Sherwin Williams.</i></span><br />

AND OTHER DIY'S STUFF<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i> Trying to furnish a vacation home can be a little daunting. Furnishings that I would love have in our little beach getaway are in one word EXPENSIVE!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i> One has to be creative to create the look and feel without breaking to the piggy or charging credit cards sort of defeats the calm and tranquil vacation if you have to worry about the how you're going to pay the bills!</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i> My husband and I have a fondest for vintage pieces , having said that, I wanted something colorful and fun for our beach house. </i></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i> While I crave having those gorgeous slip covered white linen couches that Pottery Barn is famous for and the beautiful fluffy pillowed beds with duvets so luxurious they are also very expensive :( It is not practical for us with grand-kids visiting .. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i> Ebay has been a big help for Pottery Barn bedding, I have found sets of Pottery Barn bedding that was sold out on the site, that people have purchased when they had their clearances throw them on Ebay and find others had the same idea. This set was one I wanted for our guest bedroom, brand new Pottery Barn set for 110.00!! Still in original packaging. ( ugly lamps have since been replaced, came with the house)</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><i> So for now we'll keep using the leather couches we have, but that doesn't mean I can't have some of the other things I adore!

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>To decorate our little beach get away, we had to get creative, or rather my husband did. Previously, I had posted a picture of our master bedroom as original owner had decorated it. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>While I like the shelves idea , we both disliked the cheesy cheap shelves.Trying saying that 3 times! LOL..</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>In my collection of images of beach house decor , I had saved a Pottery Barn image of the Nantucket bedroom .... Everything was sumptuous and expensive ... of course everything I seem to gravitate to is.... What caught my eye was this wonderful shelf behind the bed.. Isn't it gorgeous? </i></span><br />

<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">However , the price was way more than I could justify when we had so many other things like exterior painting , shed, interior painting to do. I saved the photo for my wish list, until one day my husband Terry, asked me if I wanted him to hang the original shelves back up in our room. When I told him no , he was a little surprised, then I showed him my wish listed shelf... He said he could probably make one like it if I wanted it ..... Yes yes yes!!! I wanted one just like this one and while he was at it could he make the smaller one form PB too? I pulled out another image from my wish list :</span></i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Terry had a stock pile of wood left over from a wood head board he had already dismantled . He was able to created 7 different shelves from this one headboard! The only purchase we had to made was the dentil molding for the 2 larger shelves Which was $37.00 for 8 ft piece.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">For a DIY project is didn't get any better than this! </span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Since Terry was using preexisting wood shelves they dictated the depth of the top shelf, </span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">in this case 6" by 45" in length</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">the back piece was 10" wide and cut to measure 43" so that the top of the shelf has an overhang .</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">For interior framed shelf he measured in on each side 2 inches on . Making the interior shelf about 39". This was just a simple 3 sided box shape longest length was 38" 1" by 2" wide </span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">If one wanted to cheat on this step you could cut any existing cheap frame that would give you the width and depth , simply cut to fit. Notice the decorative white frames sitting on top of the shelf imagine cutting on of those and fitting it on this shelf you could skip having to miter the edges. Terry's skill level is a lot higher than mine so if I were creating this I would cheat and use a existing frame. I'm just saying..</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Everything is glued and nailed together, Terry is a big fan of measure twice cut once rule... </span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">If you click this picture you can get a closeup view of the way the dentil molding is applied. It is cut like you are creating a frame flat side is used to create interior shelf. Miter box will be your best friend to cut the 45 degree angles need. Play with scrap wood first so you don't make errors on the expensive dentil molding!</span></i></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>As this point Terry dry fits everything to be sure it goes together properly. Once satisfied , glue and nail ( Terry Used nail gun) top piece to the back . Then assemble the interior frame shelf by gluing and nailing. Any nail holes will be filled with wood putty .</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>Once assembled and dry it was my turn . I painted the shelves with antique white satin interior paint.. for well, the white ones and and robins egg blues for the blue ones. Double coat. Once dry I sanded the tops and edges in sum places down to the wood. Once I was satisfied with the worn look I used a antiquing technique , working with diluted dark brown acrylic paint. I prefer a thin wash and easy clean up. Basically , work in small areas with a paint brush dab or brush on color and with a clean wipe off excessive until you are happy with results. Since I used water based acrylic I could dampen the cloth slightly if my aging looked too heavy . You could use a dark stain varnish too, however it's not as easy to deal with.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>So I approached my husband about making a set of shutters for the house. As always, he just wanted a picture of what I wanted; he was ready and willing to take on a new challenge. Not sure about the style I wanted, I began a new search for different styles of shutters , I never realized just how many styles there were.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>Since ours were purely decorative , we didn't storm hinges because they would be permanently attached in the open position. I found this adorable sail boat shutter and fell in love! </i></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<i style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">We decided to make our shutter the same size as the ones pictured here. the exact size of our window. Which was great because as it turned out , one 8ft. board cut in half was exactly the right size for one shutter! And Home Depot even cut them for us! Yay! </i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>My husbands list for this project: Total cost </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>a wallet saving $40.00 ! </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>2 ) 8 ft. pine boards 1" by 6" wide pine boards ( you use whatever wood you like)</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>1) 6 ft. 1" by 4" board for the cross bars. this board will be cut into 4 pieces 1 inch shorter then the shutters.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>Wood Glue ( yellow kind heavy duty)</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>24) stainless steel wood screws 1 7/8 inch</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>Jig saw for cutting out sail boat Or whatever pattern you choose.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>template for cut out</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>exterior paint </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>After lightly sanding all of the ends of the boards , the shutters were temporarily assembled so template pattern could be positioned where we wanted and transferred on to the boards . disassemble the shutters, then using jig saw cut out sail boat pattern . </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>Lightly sand the new cuts. At this point you can assemble them permanently then paint. Since our shutters needed to withstand blistery winds &the heavy rains of coastal Washington, my husband opted to paint all parts 2 times before reassembling. Hint doing this makes wood last longer, and if you forget to mirror the images there's no problem because all sides are painted.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>Once dried lay out your shutters ,measuring 6 inches from the top and bottom edges for placement of cross bars.Using wood glue on back side of each cross bar, place on shutters, and screw in place. using 4 screws in each cross bar, 2 for each board .</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>Now your ready to mount your shutter to your house . Four screws were used in each shutter . If you look closely you can just make out the outline of the final screw placement. My husband touched up the screws with paint. </i></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><i> We continued to look for affordable properties a long the Oregon coast. What we found were , old cottages that would require complete renovations . Having a limited budget of 120 K there wasn't room left to do the kind of massive renovations most coastal cottages needed. Besides being old , the affordable ones had no view of any kind , more like old tract homes long neglected behind new small strip malls. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><i> </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><i> Pressing desire to own a tiny piece of beach living keep me searching , finally one search took me to coastal Wa. I happened upon new cottages being built within our price range, 2 bedrooms , 1 bathroom with a great room/kitchen setup. The finishes were granite, with stainless steel appliances...... While older places may have more classic details, there is something to be said for worry- free brand new everything. Here is an example of what is being built.....119K these little cuties are around 857 sq. ft.</i></span></div>

The owners had moved to Calif and were motivated to get out from under it.

It came with big comfy leather couch and love seat, a nifty coffee table with hidden storage, the dining set picture above. These were things that weren't going anywhere, anytime soon. To save money I recovered the cushions on the dining chairs. The padded window covering were given a new material , once pale yellow marked up walls were repainted a warm white.</i></span><br />

adorable stools for a thrifty $18 a piece in colors I quickly decided to use as my go to color palette.. We purchased a neutral color chair for extra sitting and I commandeered on of the stools and re-purposed as a small surface to place drinks, or book. </div>

I am the proud possessor of 7 of these awesome shelves created for me by my hubby! Best part, they were all free! Using the wood from the old headboard we were able to make all of these shelves. Only item purchased was dental molding for the 2) 5 ft shelves the last 2 pictures are from our guest bedroom in Oregon</div>

For our guest bedroom at the cottage I wanted total fun! I was able to snag a few vintage sand toys and pails for this room as part of the decorations. A new $99 bed frame & $69 side table from Ikea and ta da a cozy beach bedroom. Over the window I have another shelf with more beach toys and canvas signal flags.</div>

When it finally came time to paint the outside of the cottage, it was torture.... We went back and forward over colors with names like comfort gray, tide pool , drizzle , nautical blue , tropical blue sea glass. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You wouldn't think that selecting colors would be that difficult, but in truth it was agonizing. Especially when there are endless colors to select from these days. Finally after much debating we agreed on Drizzle and Tidewater with Alabaster for the trim and ravishing color for the door. </div>

It's funny how things fall into place , my husband & I wanted a place to store his yard equipment,that it was taking up valuable closet real estate! We found a cedar shed at Home Depot that they had marked down from $1200 to a wallet saving 650.00!!! I was so happy I couldn't stand it! Terry painted to it match the house, so cute!
