Rebekah from

has had this old piano for a long time.
Look at this piano all painted sunny and pretty!

I love her story.  The photo above is mostly how it looked, moved from garage to storage unit to garage. 

But now it’s stunning. A beautiful marigold yellow and gorgeous accent
See the process over at A Bit Of Sunshine. 
Wow, right?!

Emerald Cove

With snow, cold and just plain blah end-of-winter, Michelle’s beachy bedroom makeover is a breath of fresh air, a special space to dream about vacation and warm breezes.  


Before was beautiful with sand inspired walls, board and batten and cottage comfort.

After – Michelle changes to pretty “Shoreline Mist” blue and fresh clean whites with an airy atmosphere.  So inspiring!



I love her driftwood accents – especially the driftwood garland.

Beautiful r
uffled gray bedding.  ((scribbling on my wishlist))


See that beautiful mantel?

Michelle is a DIY diva – check out her faux mantel how-to.
Vintage-inspired beauty. 

So, what do you think?  Inspires beachy daydreams, doesn’t it?  Here’s a sneak peek of some of the things you’ll see…

Thanks for sharing your beautiful beachy bedroom Michelle!  I hope you don’t mind a few visitors – at least we’re only online visiting so no need to clean up and the cats don’t have to share. 😉
