Today is a bittersweet day, it is both my youngest sons birthday (Happy birthday B)! So so proud of him, he’s in Shanghai right now so hopefully “living it up”! But on a more somber note, it is also a day of remembrance of that horrific day as we know it
\n“9\/11”. I as a New Yorker will never forget, it is like yesterday that I remember that morning, running to each of my kids schools to bring them home as it felt like the world was ending. I will never forget. My prayers are with all those families who lost loved ones and whose lives were changed forever. That includes the heroic efforts of all involved in the search and rescue and eventual rebuilding. It takes a village and the U.S. unifies when we need to. We are stronger because of it but hope we will never see another day like that ever again.<\/p>\n

Onto this post…….just back from a trip to PB over Labor Day weekend. It was short and sweet and better to have happened than not at all. The weather while hot was surprisingly not any hotter than what we had in NY and we had plenty of sunny days.\u00a0 Thankfully, going back again soon this time for a girls trip:) HOWEVER and this is a big however, we are now watching Hurricane Florence as it is looking quite fierce so fingers crossed for all in it’s path!<\/p>\n

It is baby steps in terms of decorating but I am most definitely making progress. It is just a little trickier doing this from afar and I would prefer to take my time and make good decisions that I will want to live with a long time instead of hasty ones that I will regret.<\/p>\n

But anything that I have<\/em> done, I must say I do love. I just love the feeling\/vibe of this house, it makes me happy walking into it. The clean, crisp open welcoming vibe is good for the soul. So as I do here and there, sharing the most recent progress made. Here we go…..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love the open floor plan…..such an easy to live in layout and really like that all rooms are used all the time!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not a day goes by there that I am not in awe of my spectacular hood from Classic Customs Metal works, Cindy who owns the company is a delight to work with, cannot recommend them enough!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our incredible screened in porch being used at different times of the day……..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing like early mornings on our porch with coffee in hand, just reveling in the silence<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I cannot tell you how much we enjoy our covered porch. Whether early morning with a cup of coffee (above) or evening with a cocktail..this is a fabulous space!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And if you look close you can see my husbands head, he is perched there almost every night…..such a great place to watch TV at night too:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Still so in love with my all Studio Tullia pillows that are part of the Palmetto Bluff Collection on my shop click here to see them<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

New hurricanes and this pretty faux floral are perfect for my dining room<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And so thrilled wit my bathroom I really love every detail, it is as practical as it is beautiful<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And, big news! I finally got my blue and white bathroom! I love this blue white cherry blossom grasscloth paper from Thibaut, it is perfect in this powder room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course loved using my gorgeous monogrammed towels in this bathroom:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This ginger jar is not staying, I have a much smaller one I am putting there, but this dude was just hanging around on the floor so I gave him a purpose:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love that its a grasscloth, the extra texture makes it a perfect choice<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These pillows are for an upstairs window seat bunch but played around with them for my benches outside (there are two more darker ones that are part of this grouping)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We use our bikes and golf cart more than we use our car! Bike riding is the best in PB, and these bikes are fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My front porch never gets old!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seen from the kitchen<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Part of food that I served for visiting gu<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The great room is coming out so beautifully, its a large room with high ceilings and I have to say such an incredibly comfortable room, the kind you don’t want to leave!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love these new custom pillows, trim from Lee Jofa and fabric from Kravet<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Had these pillows made and they look as good as I was hoping….perfect for the room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Working on my bookshelves, working from the bottom up:) Still have a ways to go and just bought a bunch of books to fill in, hopefully next time! Don’t look too closely at those picture frames, they still have their original “faux pics” that they came with lol- another thing to add to my list!<\/p>\n

And that’s a wrap for this chapter. I cannot wait to go back, I really love and thrive in that more laid back pace and it really is a happy place even with the humidity:) If I can survive August in the south, I can do it all!<\/p>\n

Now just praying that Florence has a mood swing literally and figuratively and ventures out to sea and leaves the entire Eastern seaboard alone! Prayers for all in the path of this horrible hurricane. I look forward to going back in the fall months when it’s milder and to me, perfect weather. Thanks for sharing this fun journey with me, so great to have a wonderful sounding board! Until next time……<\/p>\n
