A little life lately…

 

We just returned from another week in the mountains while the kids attended day camp at Montreat. Four families in one house – sounds crazy (and it is) but it is so much fun for all. Below I’m wearing this dress.

We had a mountain creek by our house that the kids loved going to after camp.

And of course the adults had fun, too.

Below I’m wearing this blue gingham dress (so comfortable and a great price). Gray is wearing this dress (and we both have this same dress in the red print, too).

We rented the Shenandoah house for the week through Graybeard Realty and I highly recommend them. If you book a home through them in the future you can use the code “LLL” to get 5% off!

In other news… I had a lovely time at the Marysia Swim dinner at The Dewberry!

Did you see my instagram about Talbot’s book club this summer? Give a book get a book :) I’m wearing this  red print dress and these sandals. My book pick was First Comes Love.

Here I am with my friend Molly at her beautiful home for the Babiators x Minnow Swim dinner! I’m wearing this red dress, this pom pom bag, and these sandals.

Lots of movies with the kids happening this summer break.

Happy Friday! Remember when I said that I was obsessed with these lemon plates? Well I had to have them, and I really felt like they belonged at Coral House.

 

384A0631-Edit

 

I love the lemon paired with the blue marble plates.

 

384A0561

 

This outdoor dining space is covered and the perfect spot to sit because a breeze comes right through.

 

384A0553

384A0618

 

My bistro chairs are from Candelabra and I LOVE them. They’re cute and comfortable and they have different color combinations!

 

384A0572

 

And the tablecloth is actually two large Hedgehouse travel towels that can be used for so many things! And my blue dress even matches it ;)

 

384A0558 384A0597-Edit

 

Happy Weekend, Everyone!

 

Wearing:

I’m so excited to share a home tour of our Harbour Island, Bahamas home, Coral House! It’s been a busy few months with a lot of work (and some stress) but we love how the renovation turned out!! A big thank you to our architect Beau Clowney for helping us make the most out of this cottage and outdoor space!

 

We opened up this side of the landscaping so that we could do a front entrance. I love to sit on the front porch and watch the people go by on Bay Street.

 

384A0854

 

Dutch door of my dreams.

 

384A0756

 

I love the simple black and white striped Dash & Albert rug here.

 

384A0758

 

This kitchen used to be a U-shape, but we wanted it to connect to the family room so we opened it up and made it a galley. So much brighter and roomier this way.

 

384A1043

 

My favorite parts of this kitchen are the pink Stray Dog Designs chandelier, and stripe rugand the painting by Chambers Austelle. And obviously the pink fridge!

 

384A0052-Edit-Edit

384A0125

 

The dining room is right off of the kitchen. We replaced the two windows on the side of the big mirror with french doors that open to the outdoor dining space.

 

384A0093-2

 

I’m in love with this Stray Dogs Design chandelier. Also, similar chairs here.

 

384A0103-2

 

There are two sides to the family room. This sitting side is ideal for conversations and games.

 

384A0003-2

 

We used striped Dash & Alberts rugs to keep this room separate but coordinated.

 

384A0040-2

384A0039-2

 

This shelf used to be a window, but we closed it in when we added the two new bedrooms off of this side of the house. It’s the perfect spot for our beach library.

 

384A0057-2

 

We recovered the furniture that conveyed with the house with Lulie Wallace fabric to bring some bright color to the room. I love all of her fun patterns.

 

384A0288

 

This side of the family room has the tv and opens up to the kitchen and pool area. Again, we replaced the windows on both sides of this mirror with doors.

 

384A0302

384A0280

 

This 1st bedroom downstairs that we added on has it’s own little personality with the Mirth tile floors.

 

384A0133

 

More Stray Dog Designs lighting in here, I love this citrine color! And the bedding is by Biscuit Home.

 

384A0136

384A0157

 

This bedroom shares a jack & jill bathroom with the 2nd new bedroom downstairs. They each have their own vanity and separate toilet space, and then share a walk in shower. All of the bath tile is from Daltile.

 

384A0170

 

The second downstairs bedroom that we added on is very much coordinated with the other bedroom. More

Mirth Studio tile on the floor but a different pattern, and these Stray Dog Designs wall sconces.

 

384A0265

 

The bedding in here is also Biscuit Home, with this Hedgehouse throwbed on the end.

 

384A0235

384A0522-Edit

 

The vanity mirrors in the jack & jill bathroom are both wall mounted on the side and pull out.

 

384A0226

 

Our Coral House soap by Old Whaling company.

 

384A0204

384A0100-2

 

There are two bedrooms upstairs, this one is the master bedroom.

 

384A0389

 

We recovered the headboard with more Lulie Wallace fabric, and the bedding is Biscuit Home.

 

384A0441 384A0476

 

And the master bath. We didn’t change much up here because I love the original feel of this space. I find it so charming.

 

384A0414

 

Here is the final and 4th bedroom that is also upstairs. Again, more Biscuit Home bedding :)

 

384A0348-Edit

 

The drapes in both of these upstairs rooms were custom made with more Lulie Wallace fabric.

 

384A0360-Edit

 

And the bathroom. We used these Fresh American stripe hampers in all of the bathrooms.

 

384A0379

384A0382

 

Both of the upstairs bedrooms open up to this balcony that has water views. There is a great breeze up here, too!

 

384A0497

 

There is also an outdoor shower, which is one of my favorite additions we made to the home.

 

384A0580

 

The outdoor dining space is right off of the dining room and kitchen and is covered. We had the teak table made on the island but there is a similar one here. And the chairs are from Candelabra.

 

384A0539

 

And then right off of the outdoor dining is this lounge area. It helps connect the space to the pool patio.

 

384A0639

 

We knew that we needed a pool and I think this space was perfect for it. We used Marazzi tile in it and I love how it looks!

 

384A0658

384A0684

384A0664-Edit

 

This pink building used to be a little bunkhouse, but we opened up this side of it to make an outdoor pool bar. The other half of the building is a half bath with a washer and dryer. I love this barbie print!

 

384A0698-Edit

Our Coral House VRBO site is updated with new pictures – would love for you to check it out! Maybe even plan a visit :)
