Cottage Love #69 - By the Sea

We are all soaking in the last days of summer around here! Mid-September a switch is typically switched: the days get shorter and the nights get cooler. Living by the water is a wonderful thing, for those lucky enough to live on the water it's pure perfection, especially during the summer months. I adore Dana Small's cottage style home, on Lake Michigan in the latest issue of House Beautiful. Dana drew inspiration from the changing colors of the water and sky. The result is lovely. Relaxing in one of those blue and white ticking striped chairs, on a summer day, would be dream. I'm not sure I'll ever tire of a blue and white color scheme!  **I promise to be back to my regular posting schedule when the kids are off to school in the Fall. It's a crazy balance of work, children and play  during the summer months. Happy Friday Eve. xx (Dana Small of Matilda design)
