Thursday snoop – the perfect hideaway…

Thursday 3 January 2013

I always breath a little sigh of relief after the winter solstice, for me it feels like the worst of winter is over and I can finally start to claw back some daylight hours. But in reality, January is one of the hardest months for a South African living in a cold climate and I know by mid January, I will be practically gasping for sunshine and warmth. At this point, I’ll settle for some coastal eye candy in the form of this beautiful beach cottage. Natural timber walls, floors, and low ceilings along with the relaxed furniture and rich textiles create the perfect little beach hideaway. I’d also quite happily give up chocolate for the rest of my life if I could have a dining room just like this one.

Perfection, no?

  6. Perfection yes! Love your new look Meghan and we hear you regarding the winter solstice and mid-January. Even for girls growing up in Belgium, we need warmth and sun by the end of the month. But we'll take that comfy chair and a cup of cocoa if that's what's on hand!

  7. Absolutely perfect. I feel the same way about winter solstace ........ I am coming out of this dreary winter and claw for more daylight. It's amazing how the days are cut short because of darkness. Let's hope the sun shines down a little more this winter for everyone.
