Pink Beachside Bungalow Exterior

The Pink Beach Bungalow is finally finished!

Here she is before she was decorated for autumn & Christmas.

If  you've followed along with my adventure,

you saw my first attempt at beach signs here.

This sign now had a permanent home on the porch!

It took me forever to decide how to do the porch.

The house number is a significant date to our family.

I added the door knobs recently.

The glass panel in the door is going to be a stained glass window of some sort.

I've read a few tutorials...I just need to find a design I love -- something beach related.

Until I find that perfect design, clear glass will have to do.

These adorable nautical pillows are from Little Things By Anna's Etsy shoppe.

Mini House Wreath

Here is a project I made using mini houses -- 

Inspired by the Martha Stewart Dec/Jan 2014 Magazine cover.

I found the mini houses on clearance -- at JoAnn's Hobby & Craft.

You can read more about it here.

You can see my favorite projects of 2015 here -- 

a few of my projects {including this wreath} are mini inspired.

Looking forward to a quiet January and a little more free time to work on minis.

Pink Beachside Bungalow in the Fall

It was fun to decorate the bungalow for Autumn.

Lots of little pumpkins and leaves.

{Notice the little pumpkin pie cooling...}

Winter will be here before you know it!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

Truck in Sea Foam Green

Originally, I bought this darling little truck to be part of my

mini collection -- to use in an autumn scene.

{I thought sea foam green & orange pumpkins would look so fun together.}

On a whim, I filled her with some mini bottlebrush trees, and the rest is history!

This little truck is now a Christmas decoration --

and the inspiration behind my pink and sea foam green Christmas kitchen.

I've got my eyes open -- 

looking for sea foam green and pastel pink ornaments everywhere I go!

Beachside Bungalow/Cottage

A few years ago we were at a Dollhouse Festival and I bid on the Pink Cottage --

I honestly didn't think I would end up bringing her home, 

but I did.

She has sat around for a couple of years while ideas percolated and I gathered little treasures.

I started by making a few small signs {pictured above} and ordering a few items online.

I made my first attempt at a patio --

 

and a stone pathway.

{An amateur for sure, but I'm having so much fun.}

I thought it would also be fun to put in a few sentimental minis here and there.

{little stepping stones -- with special dates}

A little peek inside the 'nautical nursery'.

And another potting table photo -- just because I love it!

It looks like the porch swing could use a few cushions.

I need to finish the kitchen, the living room, and this little space as you come up 

the stairs -- I'll share the interior when I'm finished.

We'll be dipping our toes in the Pacific AND the Atlantic before the end of the year!

{I can't wait!}

I love the ocean, the beach, and this Little Pink Beach Bungalow!

Nautical Nursery Peek

Before I can begin working on the Winter Bleu Cottage, 

I need to finish the Little Pink Beach Cottage.

The cottage is only 3 rooms (and the stairway cubby),

so I'm limited on what I can actually do.

I decided on -- 

 a kitchen, 

a living room, 

and a combined nursery/bedroom.

I just finished the 'nautical nursery' and will be adding more photos soon.

The kitchen and living room are almost finished.

The majority of the work I have left to complete is outside the house -- patio, lawn, etc.

Back to the nursery: 

I painted the baby's dresser to match the room.

I made the cute 'twinkle twinkle' sign 

after a friend brought me mini sand dollars and a tiny starfish.

{I plan on using the sand dollars in the living room.}

The rug & books are an Etsy purchase -- I'll try to locate the seller's shoppe info.

The fun beach bag was from LittleThingsByAnna.

I love the mini goldfish bowl.

You can see how I made the bookends here.

The Pink Beach Cottage/Bungalow has been a fun project!

I should hurry and finish the exterior, so I can decorate it for Autumn/Halloween!

Winter Bleu Cottage

Here is my miniature project for the winter months -- Winter Bleu Cottage.

Good bones but a lot of work to be done on her {inside and outside}.

I'm hoping to have her completed by Christmas 2017 --

WHICH MEANS I MUST FINISH THE LITTLE PINK BEACH BUNGALOW SOON!
