Relaxing in the Boathouse




          Hello everyone,

    Whenever, I have time these days my favorite place
to go and relax with a tea and a book is our little
boathouse.

Even though it is a short stroll through the
garden to the pond and boathouse it feels
like a little getaway.

                                                                    The boathouse is furnished with
                                                                    yard sale and thrift finds etc.
                                                                    The old door was a $5 find and adds
                                                                    charm to this corner.
                                                                       The china is also thrift finds.
                                                                       I love the teapot..... also $5.
                                                                      The conservatory on the south
                                                                      is nice and sunny.
                                                           Looking down from the loft.

                                                                   So, if you can't find me in the garden
                                                                   there is a good chance I am taking a
                                                                   little break in the boathouse.

                                                                   If you would like to see more of the
                                                                   Boathouse click here.
                                                                   To see more of the conservatory

                                                                  It is cool and damp here so no
                                                                  painting today but the garden is
                                                                  calling my name!

                                                                  I am joining these tea parties today:

                                                                           Enjoy your day!

    I am so in love with your boathouse! It looks like the room of my dreams! I don't know how you ever bear to leave it! So romantic, so dreamy, so vintage, so pink, so floral, so, so, so PERFECT! What a wonderful spot.

    I love these colors. The soft pinks and greens are so restful and one could quickly fall asleep on that sweet bed. Good night!

    I got so sleepy I forgot to say that teapot was sure a bargain. I don't think I've ever found one so cute for $5.00!

    Your boathouse is so charming, Carolyn. I love the mix of fabrics in there. Your teapot was a real bargain and I have the same teacup. Your yardsaling certainly brings some lovely treasures your way. Thanks for sharing and joining me for tea. Stay cozy!

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hi Two Sisters,
    The boathouse is 12 by 20 ft. and the conservatory on the back is about 4 Ft by 10 ft. with a small loft on one side.

    Rosemary, the door was already pretty much that shade when I bought it. I just gave it a wash of Martha Stewart Plate Green to freshen it up.

    Thank you all for your visit and kind words.
    Carolyn
