Keep the summer going - lovely conservatory inspiration

Even though it is the last week of July - I feel like it is just now getting hot. And where better to practice the art of being languid then a conservatory, porch, or sunroom?

I'm not a huge fan of wicker but this conservatory is still delicious!


It's too cold in my climate to enjoy Christmas in a glass room, but this is just gorgeous


Such a charming and lived in space

Welcome to My Beach Cottage Fantasy

Welcome to my beachy cottage fantasy! You may already know me from my main site, Hooked on Houses. My dream is to someday live in a cottage by the beach--but in the meantime, I'm going to live vicariously through Beach Cottage Love. If I find a beautiful home near the water somewhere in the world, then I'll be featuring it here. I hope you'll come along and dream big (and beachy) with me!
