Last summer, my parents bought a home on the coast - we've (oh-so-originally) tagged it "the bayhouse." It is lovely, spacious, and full of potential. It also has a lot of..how shall I say...builder-grade touches. Picture mid-tone oak, "satin" nickel, and lots and lots of beige. Needless to say, I've been dreaming of ways to up the ante on the place since I heard the words "we closed."
In my mind, the perfect beach house would be a medley of this
and this
probably some of this
OR this
Tough call on that - location would factor.
But back to the Bayhouse....
The chance for decorating enlightenment might have made me foam at the mouth, because my parents graciously allowed my sister and I free reign to decorate our designated bedrooms as we please.
Wanna see what mine looked like the day they closed?
I know.

The bed and nightstands were Craigs'd. The lamps are being repurposed in the living area (working on that). I saved the chest, but am in the process of giving it some TLC. Stay tuned.
Considering this is a room I get to enjoy - oh, twice a year or so, I can't justify a big budget, but I have managed to give it some life.
