I'm am in some kind of Beach Cottage Bead Board Vortex,
leaving me with a most unaccustomed inability to say much today
you may or may not agree
that this stuff Rocks (it surely is Rocking Me baby)
that the vintage chair eye candy hits the note
that these mystery flowers are so up my alley
that I am living in some kinda tongue and grooved Beach Cottage vintage heaven
you may well not be surprised to learn
that I spent a while on that chair while all was quiet in BC Land
that I stood and stared, & walked back and forth
that I mopped the kitchen floor, so I could peer
that I made a special dinner so I could chop & gaze
but what I did not reveal yesterday, and herein lies the twist, is that
THERE WASN'T ENOUGH!
and so in all my walking, mopping, staring, sitting and chopping
…there is a dirty great bit of unfinished wall right back at me
and I, dear Beach Cottage devotees am having to waitfor my next roll
how I'm getting it here…well that is the next part of this saga
and so I'll leave you with my unfinished, unpainted half-wall and I will continue in my Bead Board Vortex…
oh and tomorrow, guess who's stopping by at the Beach Cottage with a giveaway for us?…the wonderful Lisa Leonard
of course if you want to tell me what you think of my project I'll stick you in the hat right away
** just wait til I get started on the ceiling **
Wall Doctor at Southern Hospitality
If you are after some of this wallpaper and want to order it online and get it shipped right to your door (I only wish* I could do that), my friend Rhoda from Southern Hospitality (who is the one who started this blogland decor craze for me) has this in her shop for a great deal
LOL Sarah, this stuff rocks for sure, indeed! ) Love that wallpaper, it looks so beautiful and I think it fits your style perfectly! You guys did a great job!
Hugs, Erika
I didn’t know it existed either until you introduced it to me! I had a feeling you were going to be a bit short – shame! But at least there is more on the way! And great that things like that happen to other people and not just me!!! x
That looks like one strip too short. ONE STRIP! I’d complain to the wallpaper company that they made the roll too short. You may get a compensation roll! xx
Wow Sarah! It looks fantastic (apart from that little bit in the corner). I went straight over and had a look and Rhoda’s site and now I just have to convince hubby that this is the way to go! I love it! xx
OH NO! I did wonder what the twist was, that is a good twist! But I am sure you will be able to track down enough to finish it. I am SO with you on the gazing at your finished project, I am doing that at the moment with my new/old table. Havent blogged about it yet as too busy gazing at it lol
alicia
Oh my gawd!!!!!!!! i feel sooo sorry for you- i was seriously thinking that i’ll scroll back up and have a proper look at the whole scene again and then i got to the ‘unfinished’ bit- and i probably felt a little of the big bit you felt- agghh- a bit ‘ohhh noooooooo’! i’m with you -mopping, cutting, gazing…anything that may make it just happen to finish itself… almost ‘willing’ the rest of the paper onto the endy unfinished bit o wall!
just dont look into that corner till the next roll arrives- thats what i do- if you cant get your hands onto it straight away- just pretend its not there till its fixed!
Everytime I see a project using this wallpaper it strengthens my resolve to have some here at the lake. Now, I need to remind eldest daughter she promised to help with the hanging and painting of the beadboard paper.
I love your wall and the chair and the beautiful vignette you created with all!
Love it! Love the chair, especially the color in there.
I’d love to see some more of that color in the kitchen-maybe some old Coke bottles or any of those bottles with the green tint to the glass? Currently, I have a Barilla Pasta jar (I removed the label and washed it in the dishwasher) that holds a single hydrangea in there and it makes me think of you. The pasta jar has a green tint to it and the lettering on the glass gives it a real vintage look which I like as well. I noticed the last time I made pasta that the jar was really pretty and when I removed the label and washed it up I was surprised at how nice it looked. Anyway, I thought that might be a way to add a pop of the green/vintage type glass in there.
Hey, Sarah! It looks fantastic, my friend. Can’t wait til you get that other roll. I just ordered myself another roll too for a little project in our masterbath. SO glad you love it as much as I do and THANK YOU so much for the shout-out for my shop. I just love this stuff so much I want to share it with everyone.
Are you going to paint it?? I really think it looks even more real when you paint it with 2 coats of paint. So, think about that!
It looks fabulous! I had planned to put beadboard in my breakfast nook – now I’m considering the wallpaper. Easier, less costly (right?) and why not if it looks the same? I went to check it out at the Home Depot, who is supposed to carry it (it says so online) but they don’t have it. So in the meantime I’ll be working on how to convince my husband that it’s the way to go. Of course, if he wants to spend money on the wood stuff, that would work for me too!
Can you even bear the waiting for more to arrive in your kitchen??
Those flowers are really pretty…the wallpaper looks so good. Don’t you have a nice beachy shutter that you could stand in the corner until such time that the paper can be finished?
Hi Sarah,
It looks great, you’ll have it finished in no time. It’s the waiting that’s the hard part. And by the time the rest arrives you will have moved on to the next project! Stop by for a visit sometime. Hope you have a great week.

Never mind the bit of unfinished wall (sod’s law) look at that Beautiful!!! chair and flowers absoulte perfection! Lovely photos and very clever getting us in like that lol Bet it will be finished to perfection I know waitings no fun tho.have a good week!
i love this wallpaper! so much easier than installing expensive beadboard.
i have to tell you that i love your little cottage. i am a beach bum at heart, but my husband does not dig it. i am dragging him on two beach trips this summer to try and help to see the light. my hope is that after we return i can drag my shell collection out of storage and turn our dallas,texas home into a beachy masterpiece. thanks for the inspiration. i gave you a shout out on my blog!
That would drive me insane (knowing that I ran out)! I despise wallpaper because of having to remove 6 or more layers of border in every room of my house when I moved in, but I totally LOVE the bead board look… I hope you get more soon!
Ohhhh – I still think it looks fantastic!! Maybe the wallpaper fairy will deliver some to your door??!! & even put it up? well ok – maybe just deliver it hopefully??!!!
I was not sure when I first heard about this wallpaper from Rhoda a while back, but I am seriously thinking I NEED SOME! It looks great ! I hate it when all I can see is the one place that still needs something…Hope it doesn’t take to long to get to you!
As always this project looks fab too. I think your “mystery” flowers are actually bouvardia. I just love their divine scent which seems to totally fill the house.
I’ve never been a fan of wallpaper but this is really eye-catching.
Your motto seems to be much like mine when it comes to decorating..umm, there may not be enough to go around or this piece of furniture may not fit but what the heck lets live dangerously and figure it out as we go!
Makes life interesting don’t you agree?
Looks absolute fabulous Sarah. Is this the paintable stuff like i used?
ANYWAY….drum roll…i got my REal Living in the mail today and YOU’RE IN IT..I was so excited!! Mel xxx
Hey Sarah, you will not believe the original tram rolls I found this week here in Melbourne, or the price tag! Pop over to my blog for a peek :0)
alicia
Sarah, I hope this is the right place to comment for a chance to win. My daily attire, well if it isn’t my work clothes, it is always, always my faded blue Capecod sweatshirt and cropped jeans or sweat pants during this winter season. Thanks. I love your site, my new favorite place to go each day!
I LOVE your beadboard wallpaper. It looks great with the chair & flowers!
Do you think the beadboard wallpaper would hold up well in a bathroom where there are showers taking place…that might involve some steam when we forget to turn the fan on? I would love to do a 2/3 wall in beadboard painted white…bit without the hassle of installing beadboard!
love it- even with the unfinished corner… I bet you could find something fabulous to make that little spot into to make it look ‘on purpose’ if you have to.
we have a friday fun find party (that’s still going)- if you’re interested, we’d love it if you’d link up!
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. [Read More …]
Beach Cottage ladies, we have some vintage linen and some wood/twig washed up on the beach today here in Beach Cottage Land….don’t say I don’t keep you entertained now will you . Come on in. So, yep I have posted about colanders on this blog, about things sourced from the side of the road, about [...]
G'day ladies, let's have a Too Easy Beach Cottage recipe yeah? The original place for Too Easy Recipes on the web ;-)
So, after my last salad went down a storm in my inbox, that's here if you missed it, I had to do this one seeing as I make it most weeks.
There is a problem with this salad and kiddos though...it looks, well, it looks, kinda yucky...but once they try it, they'll ask if and when they are next having it....at least that's what happens in this ratty old cottage...but I must interject here that my kiddos are 'good eaters'? ...they didn't get a choice in that ;-)
Now, stop, don't start running and hitting that next on your blog reading list, pulses are your best friend in the Too Easy Dump & Go kitchen for the busy mum, or busy anyone for that matter...that reminds me I must blog the garlic canneloni Go To for when you forgot to do dinner, feel like a bath but have three ravenous young Beach Cottage Kiddos on your hands...another day.
I am almost embarrassed to tell you how easy this is, we have it so much that I always have a couple, make that six, cans of lentils around and a jar of goat's cheese in the fridge...the great thing about this is that it's all too easy to get ready in just a few minutes, but it looks, tastes and seems like you did oh so very much more than that.
You can obviously too change it up a bit depending on what you have to hand in your kitchen, and I must say that is how I settled on this version...because one day when I made it I didn't have enough Parsley in the garden and so I chucked in some basil too, and liked the Summer feel it added.
I think of this as being a rather posh salad, not sure why, because it couldn't really be further from the truth...the great thing is that it works so well for an average run of the mill day, (when I did this for this blog post, it was a hot Sydney Sunday and I did it just simply to go with Rosemary & Garlic stuffed pork, you can see that pork here),
...but just as easily it works on a regular old Wednesday night when you have lost all enthusiasm for rustling up yet another meal, or indeed on Saturday night, when your friends are on their way over for dinner and you my friend, are in your new vintage inspired clawfoot bathtub (that's me in a few weeks time, k?) without any clothes on, a tipple and no idea what to cook for dinner...
I have a complicated and ever-changing relationship with goat's cheese...it never fails me in its performance and it never fails to impress me (you can find out a bit more on what I like in food here if you like) and I kinda collect it...because it's very easy to collect and has a fairly long fridge-life, I love trying out different ones and there's not many things I love more than goat's cheese on sourdough...but I think the best thing about it is not thinking about it exclusively in the toast/salad department...I've stuffed it in chicken and all sorts of things as a last minute and it's been fab.
But let's get down to the nitty gritty of this super salad that makes you look like an angel who has been on her knees all day scrubbing the front step when really you are in the digital world and spent most of ...
G'day Beach Cottage ladies, howdy, howdy howdy today for a Beach Cottage Too Easy recipe.
If you like cake, cream, sugar and chocolate, make this.
This is, rather than a recipe, a putting it together...as you know I am no dessert maker, but, I do make quite a few sweet things, because, somehow I have ended up with kiddos, who in their roles as offspring, believe that part of the deal, is that not only do I feed them a home-cooked meal with a few homegrown ingredients in there, yes, they also believe that dessert and not the kind that comes out of a packet is included too in this All-Inclusive Deal they call Parenthood.
So, this, for sure, is no culinary masterpiece, but if you are looking for something that is so very easy, dump-able, uses everyday ingredients and at the same time makes you look like you spent hours pulling things together plus tastes good....well, then this is for you.
Best though, you don't make this for yourself, if you have spent the most part of your week sitting on your derriere reading blogs...this my friend ain't low in the calories department...if, however, you are treating yourself to a delight in a mason jar, this is so for you.
I first had a version of this when at dinner back in Old Blighty with a girl, I once, in another life, caught the train up from our village to London with...she was a funny thing really...I am not quite sure how we got on...she was kinda prissy and a bit bothered by too much...I would run to the train flustered, having got up late, and she would have a spreadsheet on the train times, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, a few years later when we both had bambinos, I bumped into her again and we met up for playdates and dinner sometimes....this particular night, after a lovely meal she served up little bowls of creamy, cakey fruity stuff topped off with chocolate flake...it was delicious!
She didn't serve hers in little jars like this, hers were in a champagne glass and not quite so layered as these ones, plus she used tinned fruit not fresh or frozen.
Years later when said offspring kept requesting dessert, one day I wangled together somehow these from what was around in the fridge and they've been with us ever since.
Most likely, if you ever come here for dinner, and shock horror, you dont' bring the dessert with you, this, if you are lucky, will be what you will get.
Throw it all together, sprinkle a lil bit of chocolate on the top and the blog reading past-time you so rudely left in order to make this, is my friend, your oyster.
Beach Cottage Too Easy Layered Raspberry, Cream & Sponge Dessert
1 small maderia or butter cake or a pack of cupcakes (or of course make your own)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
8 tbsp fruit
1 x chocolate Flake or chocolate bar for grating
1. beat the cream cheese until it is soft
2. whip the cream until soft peaks form
3. combine & add the sugar through
4. cut your cake into portions
& layer into the bottom of your jar
5. add a tablespoon of fruit
6. layer on top the cream combo
7. repeat
8. grate chocolate or Flake on top
*Beach Cottage Recipe Notes : this is just a guide really, you can use any cream that you have on hand...I have made this with clotted cream (don't even go there unless you want to seriously get these babies on your thighs), with double cream and I have even, in desperate times squirted in that, ...
G'day Beach Cottage ladies, well I thought it was time for some blogging tips here today, alongside a few nice flowers and shells ;-)
I was recently part of a blogger discussion group over at Kidspot and a couple of hours later had a few questions from girls who couldn't make it to the live chat, one was on my Facebook page and one via email, the Facebook one I will deal with in another Real Girl Blogging Tips post...the email one asked me what essentials do I think every blog needs?
Well I have been around here for a while now doing the blogging thing, so I should know this, yeah and I mused this on my walk by the sea this morning I thought well what do you only need?
...I think it is really very easy when blogging, whether or not you are blogging up there in the lofty heights of the Super Bloggers or you are just dipping your toe in the water, to get side-tracked by 101 million different things that are 'essential' to your blog and if you are someone like me who actually gets a thrill from reading blogging tips then you are in an even worse place because you will find yourself literally buzzing with these essential things to add/do/implement on your blog.
However, walking along, gulping down that brisk sea air today (no sunshine & clouds) I thought you actually don't need any of that professional blogging stuff to be successful...but there are a few things that are pretty much crucial ...and once I started to think about it I got it down to about 5 - these are the only things that you need to concentrate on...once you have read through take a look at some of the big girl's blogs...you'll see that actually they don't have bundles of stuff on their blogs...but they do have all of these...
So here are my top things that your blog must have
1. About Page
There are all sorts of About Pages out there, and if you search on it there are many different tips and ideas for what to have on yours
Whatever blogging platform you use, adding an About Me Page is easy, quick and simple and will do everything to grow your blog.
I like a long-ish About Page, I am inherently nosy and I like to know a bit more about the person but at the least you should have on it your name and where you are located. I also think a photo is good too...over the last year or so I think this has become more important in blogging - if you are hesitant about that as I was, you can try using sunglasses or a behind shot until you get comfortable.
There is nothing worse than stumbling upon a new blog and going to find out more to only be faced with a piddly little one liner About Me Page...well there is something worse, not having one at all!
2. Contact Page
The chances are someone, somewhere will want to contact you and you will be surprised what lands in your inbox once you put yourself out there on the world wide web with a blog.
Many bloggers also use this page to include details for PR's/brands that may want to contact them and some bloggers put their stats on there too.
A short, to the point and simple Contact Page works really well...whenever I have wanted to contact another blogger I am often very busy and have limited time so I don't want to hang around sifting through information looking for an email address, so concise and clear ...
G'day lovely Beach Cottage lovelies.
So, yeah, so on a roll people, so on a roll.
I feel kinda home accessory wired right now.
I am always telling people, if anyone ever listens, that blogging is all about passion, not that sort of passion, but about passion that makes one tick.
Things like this make me tick tick boom.
I love finding things that suit my budget and let me treat my home but look amazing too.
So without further adieu I introduce you, ladies of the beach, to the blue vintage glasses that I have been stroking for about a week or two now...
These glasses are from a little boutique I sometimes happen upon, this boutique sells also pet accessories, carpet cleaner, bras and compost...it's quite unique though.
And, thanks to my friend Marnie (she blogs over here, go take a look at her praying position, interesting), who just so happens to be one day having me over for a lil' Greek dinner, has let me in on the fact that we call Kmart....The KMart...with an accent ....as in 'I love The KMart'...just like her MIL does. Oh yeah. Love that.
So I have had my eye on reproduction vintage glass blue wine glasses and being trying to find real true vintage blue glasses for like ever.
Oh yes I have spied them in Frenchy boutiques, I have lusted after them in stores that I shouldn't even enter and I have put them back pretty quickly in those shops with the hand-written price tags. C'mon, you know the ones.
And, though all of the above have tempted me, muchly, really, even with my wardrobe stashing skills I just thought that, actually, I'd rather be saving that casherooni for our next trip overseas..
Hello The KMart.
Tick Tick Boom
Vintage style blue wine glasses.
Do not come to my old place and think you might pick up one of these and smile with pleasure at their handblown quality, their weight, and be secretly jealous that my wine glasses cost more than your car...friend, that would not happen...these do not feel like that...indeed these in a funny way reminded me of my baby girl, she was a tiny little thing, with stick legs, the tinsssssssiest ankles and wrists you ever did see, she slept sideways in her cot wedged in between rolled up blankets and would only settle attached to Mr Beach Cottage or I or a (dirty) pj top of mine scrunched up under her nose...the first few times I picked her up to cuddle, being used to Honeymoon Baby who weighed in at 9lbs at birth and has never really stopped growing, I nearly threw her little bird-cum-rat down covered body over my shoulder.
These glasses are like that...be careful or you might lose your wine down the front of your shirt.
But oh baby, we are not talking picking up here, we are not talking quality, we are not talking house accessory snobbery.
Beach Cottage ladies, we are talking aesthetics.
And this is what I need in my cottage.
Blue vintage style glass, paired with coastal / nautical / beach stuff on my deck.
It's The KMart.
Tune in tomorrow, tomorrow, I have more budget foofing for your home, or maybe it will be the dress that wraps me up in supermarket-chic and makes me feel like me again.
Good Day to you my friends, wanna come hang out on my deck, talk house accessories, The KMart and drink some wine from blue glasses?
Sarah
Sarah, your photos look fab. Love the wall and the flowers….
hope you get some more…
Sarah,
Only one Aussie word for these decorating disasters we all have “BUGGAR”
LOL Sarah, this stuff rocks for sure, indeed!
) Love that wallpaper, it looks so beautiful and I think it fits your style perfectly! You guys did a great job!

I love it even undone and I love Rhoda for starting it all!!!! <3
The little chair with the lovely green and white flowers looks wonderful with the bead board background. Hope you will get the wall finished soon.
Oh my gawd!!!!!!!! i feel sooo sorry for you- i was seriously thinking that i’ll scroll back up and have a proper look at the whole scene again and then i got to the ‘unfinished’ bit- and i probably felt a little of the big bit you felt- agghh- a bit ‘ohhh noooooooo’! i’m with you -mopping, cutting, gazing…anything that may make it just happen to finish itself… almost ‘willing’ the rest of the paper onto the endy unfinished bit o wall!
just dont look into that corner till the next roll arrives- thats what i do- if you cant get your hands onto it straight away- just pretend its not there till its fixed!
BIG goodluck!
Melissa
The wall paper looks lovely. And bummer, you are sooooo close! And the chair? I think I am in chair love!
Can’t wait to try it out for myself! Now I just have to decide where!
It still looks stunning even with a piece missing. I’m sure you will come up with something creative until the rest arrives.
Everytime I see a project using this wallpaper it strengthens my resolve to have some here at the lake. Now, I need to remind eldest daughter she promised to help with the hanging and painting of the beadboard paper.
I love your wall and the chair and the beautiful vignette you created with all!

Heavenly picture! Just what I needed to see this morning. I would sit and stare at the chair and flowers too.
Wow, had no idea that was wallpaper. Awesome!
Those flowers are really pretty…the wallpaper looks so good. Don’t you have a nice beachy shutter that you could stand in the corner until such time that the paper can be finished?
It really is beautiful! Isn’t it frustrating when you can’t finish a project?!?
Hi Sarah,

It turned out just beautiful. That wallpaper is amazing.
I love it…but I know the “need” to get things done “NOW”! I hope that vortex doesn’t finish you off before the final roll arrives.
Sarah it looks fabulous.
Loving the way you displayed the chair and its treasures
Alison
Wow, that wallpaper looks amazing! You’ve done a very good job at putting it up, cant wait to see it completely finished! P.s I’m lovin that chair!
I saw a beadboard Kitchen blog post and now with the wallpaper I can’t get it out of my mind!!!!!
What have you done to me – aaaaargh!
i love this wallpaper! so much easier than installing expensive beadboard.

It’s awesome! Looks just like the real thing!

Wall paper always seemed so intimidating to me. This bead board paper is new to me. It alone has wiped out all fear.
What to paper…what to paper…?

Wallpaper???? Amazing stuff! It looks so real in the pics! Keep up the great work! ladyhightower@live.com
I’m dying to try this wallpaper.. can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Ah, the wallpaper/beadboard looks fantastic, even if you did run out! I’ve seen it elsewhere but none have inspired me quite like your rendition.
I love your mystery flowers!
new here……..and so delighted!!
you’re now part of my morning RSS feed.
have a beautiful day….
