Hello everyone,
This past week the little back
room in the bunkhouse got a
bit of a makeover.
I don't think I have any photos
of the original look as it was
just used for storage...not
photo worthy.
Last year we cleaned it out
and put a small bed in it for
our grandchildren when they
come to visit.
They love to have their own
little hideout.
So, the wall were natural pine before
last week so we gave them a wash of
white and the floor also got a coat of
paint (sand beige). I made the
pillows with a beachy theme from
a pair of old curtains from the thrift
store.
We put this window in last year
and if you guessed it was a french
door on it's side you are correct.
I put lots of pillows on so it can
be used as a daybed too.
I like the blue and white theme....
it has a breezy summer look now.
The front room of the bunkhouse also
got the same paint treatment but needs
a few extra touches before it is done.
Now, whenever school is over and the
weather warms up a bit more we are
ready for a sleepover party.
The back of the bunkhouse after
we put in the window and shingled
it and gave the door a new coat of paint.
Thank you for stopping by and
I hope you have a good week!

Everything looks so clean and bright. Especially want to know how you get thrift store fabric looking so crisp and new. Do you have a special trick? xx
What a sweet cottage. Very clever using a french door on its side for a window - so much light!

Thank you Andi! I don't have any special tricks, I just wash and dry it and it is good to go.
Thank you for visiting,

Very sweet! I love the French door window! How cleaver!
Hi Carolyn!
Love the new blue hue on the door! So refreshing and lovely.
Wishing you a beautiful day,

What wonderful memories in the making for your grandchildren and family. What a treasured retreat.
I absolutely love it. Especially that door on its side as a window. I am going to remember that!!
Such a charming little place. The blue makes it looks so cool, calm, and peaceful:)
Oh I just love the look from the outside, with the cedar shingles and that beautiful aqua blue door! Just darling.. and blues and whites are just perfect for that beachy feel and look. I bet the grands just love their little hideout/retreat. I still remember a place we went when I was a child, to the Oregon coast and stayed in a "cabin" with blue and white decor. I always loved it then and I have such good memories of the upstairs loft where we slept.. all blue and white and cozy! Your little bunkhouse is so sweet! Hugs.. Marilyn
I love this little house!!!
Hugs, Biene
