Beach Studios: Unkempt Beauty



I came across this beautiful & unruly Beach Studios location, called "Sperm Bank." (I felt indecent writing that in the title!! :) Anyway, above, is the very apt whale weather vane. I love this location for its wild, almost abandoned feeling. How beautiful is the photo below?!!

I love the massive vines overtaking the structure-- Is that wisteria?? It reminds me of something out of a fairytale... Stumbling upon a sleepy hidden cottage in the woods...


Below is the dining area insided the house. I LOVE the transoms & how real and undecorated this place feels.


Below, the blue is so pretty & it feels like someone really interesting lives here. I would just love to wander through this place & explore!!
How pretty is this shot, below? I love how the prints are placed anywhere they can fit, instead of perfectly displayed. Is that a library I see through the doorway on the left? Also, how funny is it that the plastic baby seat on the far right chair just sort of blends in & doens't look at all out of place on an antique chair?! (It's things like that that I really love--- the old fitting with the new & with "real life." It's like the grandparents live here or something & they keep the seats out for when the kids come to visit. ) It still manages to look beautiful to me.

Below, is one of the bedrooms. Very simple and seems like the perfect place for a vacation afternoon nap. I love the wall color with the curtains. Again, this room just feels a bit thrown together and its not anything about the decor I like specifically, but there's something about its feeling that I love.

And below, is one finaly shot of the property. I hope to have something this overgrown one day.


On a personal note concerning the flood, things are going really well here. We're halfway through packing for the new house & will probably get most of the important things covered by insurance. We will be sleeping at my grandparents' house starting Tuesday (they're going on a trip) and will have a great place to sleep!! My laptop is dead, but they were able to save all the memory & my photos so I'm thrilled!! And a camera that used to be broken now works after being soaked!! craziness. We're really really happy (and exhausted!!) about everything & are just so excited & counting down the days until we move into the treehouse!!
Thank you all so much for your sweet words (I can't tell you enough how much they mean to me) & I won't be able to blog/ read as much as usual until I get a computer/ and things get a bit more settled, but I'll be thinking of you & wondering what I'm missing!! If anyone writes any posts or reads any posts that you think I'll just totally LOVE, could you please shoot me an email?!! thanks so much
xoxo,
lauren
