A few months ago I received an email from Maura, the owner of this lovely cottage. She was interested in trading a stay at her cottage for some photos. I am a lover of cottages, as you know, so I was definitely up for this! I brought my photo shoot friends (Lisa is of course is responsible for the photos) and we put together a few stories in and around the cottage. We were very inspired by Maura's lovely home.
Located in the sleepy town of Ocean Park, Old Faithful (built in 1887) is a short walk from gorgeous sand dunes at the edge of a quiet beach. I am not big on touristy places so this quiet town felt ideal to me. You won't find Internet or TV in the cottage, which makes it a great place to re-charge. The kitchen is stocked up with all the essentials for cooking. I can't wait to go back again and cook a feast in the kitchen to eat on the beach ! :)
Maura has put together the ideal summer cottage. Everything was picture perfect. I loved the whitewashed walls and floors and the fresh green paint in the kitchen and bathroom.
The bedroom is filled with flowery touches from paintings to pretty rose-strewn sheets. There's another bedroom too with bunk beds for four. You can rent the cottage right here.
Thanks so much, Maura!

Really wonderful, I love the green so much. Did the screen door slam? I like it when they do because that's what happened at my aunt's cottage. You drove in on a lane with just two tire tracks and you couldn't see the cottage until the very end. I think of it when I read The Road Not Taken.
