French/Italian Beach condo

Warning.....This is a random, rambling post! Proceed with caution!

I love the beach.

Want to see some pics?

OK, But first

I want to show you a very unexpected beach condo - French/Italian style.

Usually you would expect to see

blues and greens, wicker and rattan, and shells.

However, the owners of this little place must have visited Tuscany,

with a little stayover in France.

But First - my blooming tulips

brought from home,

a gift from some wonderful friends.

Then, some shells found on our first beach walk,

along with about 100 sand dollars! (not pictured - getting bleached)

And now for the unexpected decor.....

Some great distressed bar stools from Ballard.

Warm Tuscan colors....

A really, really humongous basket - I LOVE baskets - all kinds.....

A beautiful Tuscan countryside with red flowers....

A comfy leather chaise.....

Beautiful upholstered headboard....it's beginning to look a little Parisian now.....

A "French fried" fleur-de-lis Ballard rug....

Gorgeous Frenchy chandy.....


Another Ballard bench....this time in black....

A pair of Frenchy scrolly black iron bedside tables....


Some fancy black ironwork.....

Isn't that surprising - pleasantly - for the beach?!

But, my favorite.....

seagulls and seabouys : )

(oops, I cut off one of the bodies....see the legs under this sentence? Hee hee hee)

on a gray day....

until the sun broke through!!!!!!

Beautiful dunes......

and waves and water, waves and water.....ahhhhhhh.......

Are you a beach person or a mountain person?

Truth be told, my answer probably depends on where I am at the moment,

but for now, I am a beach person.

How about you?

What a beautiful world! - This is My Father's World.

Blessings,

Linda

I'm hooking up with Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday.
