Real Life Beach Decor, Coastal Living & Nautical Decorating Ideas - A Beach Cottage

G'day fellow beach cottage lovers, how you all going? A good week at the beach cottage, busy, but good, no trips to the ER or skate parks…nice winter weather, sun and running on the beach…and in case you missed it, found myself on Apartment Therapy (click if you wanna look)
So how about a little look at my new bedlinen? I'm never going to be a Tidy Bedroom Queen – I'm telling you lovelies I had to do a huge amount of frantic scrambling around tidying up for these pictures, so you better give me some comment luv for my efforts. Kinda the blog version of having someone over for dinner, you have to get your act together and get it tidy. Purging was good though. Once I'd started I got right on into it and threw out a large garbage liner full of clothes that I don't like, or ever did like and was for some eason holding onto.
And how about your weekend? Well think of me, I am treasure hunting tomorrow and I am making these and these to fulfill my ever-increasing chilli-lovin addiction ….see you all next week
G’day bloggers, hope you are all sizzling in the heat and thinking of us Down Under where though hardly cold, (it hit 21C today on my walk by the sea), it is certainly chilly in the evenings. Before I tell you about my beachy trunk love a couple of bits of news.
First I got featured earlier this week on Apartment Therapy, that’s good isn’t it…go take a look…
and second I’m guest posting at Sandy’s this week who persuades us all to open our homes to others and not worry about things like tatty old cottages on the wrong side of town…hop on over for recipes and advice to get you back in the groove of having people over without any stress…

OK, I have a lot of emails asking me what I would do with a room and how I decorate on a budget (and I love those emails and try to get back to everyone, keep em coming) but I only wish there were a little more time in the day to answer them a bit more comprehensively
…so at last I've got together some information to do a little series on what I've learnt with this old beach cottage, a bit ratty round the ears but looking oh-so-much better now. And if you subscribed for the tips (and thanks, a lot of you did), this is it and there'll be more next week which will be a bit more floors and wall focused…
In my long hard sourcing of vintage treasures, working my fingers to the bone for this tatty old place, I recently came across a lovely old blanket in great condition. Now I have to tell you that before I started on this journey in junk, blankets weren't really my thing, more of a quilt girl myself.
G'day! I'm Sarah, I live in a tatty old cottage, near the sea in Australia with a battered old deck & a big old fig tree out the back...stripped wooden floors, old sash windows & a jumble of vintage furniture.
