Yesterday the Mr. and I met down at the cottage to clear out a few pieces of furniture we are replacing with new stuff that suits the little living space better. If you can believe it, Mom and I had yet a second successful couch sit last week after I spied a couch for sale on FB at a really cool small home store on the Shoreline. As soon as I saw the photo I knew I had to drag accompany mom to the shop to see if she felt the same about the piece.
She was a good sport once again, and together we purchased the small couch AND a recliner especially for my guy, because we would indeed be removing his much loved but out-of-place wing back chairs we acquired when we bought and renovated This Old House, then transplanted to Stella as we threw furniture in there to get through the first year. We found in a tiny space, those wing backs are just too tall and overbearing, and they weren’t very beachy. The cheap couch we had bought for the same space inside Stella was just -blah- not particularly comfortable either. These pieces work well. The price was reasonable and the fabrics we chose are durable – (not what is shown in the photo) … we went with a hardy driftwood colored fabric for the couch and a pale sea green blue hardy fabric for the chair.
Stellas little “living room” before we removed the old furniture… a mix-match of perfectly good furniture that just doesn’t belong here in this space.
Stay tuned for the reveal.
After We moved the “stuff” out, I took some photos around the island (which is not really an island but that’s what it’s called) and below is what I captured…
A handsome duck
A momma Osprey in her nest…
and this fellow who hit the jackpot as far as Lunch is concerned..
a large fresh conch…
He saw me about 50 feet away standing behind my tripod and camera
and decided instead of dining at the restaurant,
this lunch might best be treated as Take Out.
I hope all is well in your world –
and thank you for stopping by.
