Would LOVE to spend the winters in Flerida:):) Thank goodness you fixed the pediments over the shutters!!! Everything you have done looks terrific. Have a wonderful summer in Massachusets.

I did take note of that cute lantern..I beleive it's called Onion lantern... by the front door reading your last post. I really want to put two on the front of my place too. We have rules here too, well sort of. I mean they don't seem to have a problem with those blasted dishes for tv. Why do they have to be planted on the front of the houses? I think it's because the guys that slap them up just want quick and easy then the guy that lives in the place comes home and throws himself on to a chair called a lazyboy need I say more?

What a gem. Most people don't have a clue when it comes to exterior details. Years ago we were having our Greek Revival home painted and I heard the one guy complain "don't you think these people could afford vinyl shutters? - then He NAILED the old wooden shutters upside down onto the house!!!! Ya can't make this stuff up.<br /><br />I think monkeys are creepy too. They're kind of in the same category as clowns to me.<br /><br />I love your cottage!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992265910653421978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-20918746912618042752012-05-11T08:56:29.702-04:002012-05-11T08:56:29.702-04:00Love reading your blog, Betsy!

You crack me up.<br /><br />I cannot believe they allowed those window pediments to run across the tops of the shutters! Thank goodness you had them fixed! So much better.<br /><br />Your southern home is lovely.<br />A slice of heaven!<br /><br />xox<br />AlisonAlison @ The Polohousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158070644111719007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-40220823056924337092012-05-11T08:07:18.519-04:002012-05-11T08:07:18.519-04:00Betsy, Love the split reed console and, even thoug...Betsy, Love the split reed console and, even though I'm not particularly a fan of monkey paintings either,yours is the perfect piece above the console.

I have even picked up a decorating tip or two. The interior of your home is gorgeous and I love the cottage look of the exterior. The details that you added or changed made it adorable.

We had 3 coach lights on our house and they were made of plastic!!! Who does that? And we had to get permission to replace them. Took down my plastic house numbers to and got a plaque thing instead.
