Kia Ora

WE LOVE OUR "BEACH" HOUSE!

 

 

 

Everywhere we look there is color and beauty!  This home makes us feel so safe, secure and HAPPY!!!!

 

 

The blue, soft rug reminds us of the ocean--just outside our window!  We LOVE coming home to this beachy haven! We are SO happy in our New Zealand retreat!

 

 

 

 

Say hi to Sammy the Seahorse and our magical anemone lamp (the only plug-in we brought from the states!)  Kourt's coasters round out our square side table:)

 

I worked hard on this arrangement and it arrived in great shape--halfway across the world!  I love this cute little side table with sea glass. 

 

How I love my dishes!  It was very sporting of every store in Utah to go with my nautical theme!  Love the corals, shells and sea glass!

 

Hated to waste the wine rack openings, so I filled them with glass containers holding all of our nuts, raisins and quinoa!  Voila. 

 

 

Our Bishop's son Oliver, (Elder Cain, serving in England) created these wonderful shelves housing our most priceless possessions--the CHERUBS!  Love their parents too:)))

 

This nifty rope mirror was a local find.  Just right for our seafaring sitting area!

 

This guest room has YOUR name on it! Hurry--while vacancy sign is lit up!

 

His and Her guest beds!  Surf's Up, don't be late! We are happier than clams in our cozy cottage by the sea.  Can't wait for our first visitors in November to arrive.

 

 

Nautical nooks and crabby crannies!

 

Many thanks to my friend Joyce Hamula--former occupant of our apartment for suggesting this theme.  Even the music cubbies point to the sea!  If you're ever in the neighbourhood be sure to bring your snorkel and fins!  Kia Ora--time to collect some shells!
