Beachside Bungalow Christmas

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas --

at the bungalow.

Poinsettias, holly, and deliveries from Santa.

Next we'll get the interior decorated!

Happy December!

Christmas baking -- treats to eat on the porch
& wooden soldiers to watch for Santa!

Now we are ready!

Pink Beachside Bungalow/Cottage

The living room -- here is the last little room.

I painted and sanded the floor to look loved and used.

I love this little room.

The ceramic clock and blue chair were gifts from my grandparents one Christmas.

{Part of a 5 room dollhouse they made for me -- from scratch -- when I was a little girl.}

I might never have beach front property {a dream of mine},

but I have my little pink beach house!

I hope the next house doesn't take as long to make as this one!

But it was worth the effort -- I think for my first house it turned out great.

Here are a few other posts about this house.

Pink Beachside Bungalow Kitchen

I added a little light -- my first.

The kitchen in little so I had to make it work just the essentials.

The window treatment is part of a  placemat.

The little red bowl is for collecting shells from the beach.

{There might be a few shells from our travels in that little bowl.}

The little framed sand dollar is real. 

{I realize in real life that would be a huge sand dollar -- but I love how it looks framed.}

A few more pictures of the kitchen.

Move-in ready!

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!
