One of the many wonderful things about my NY/Calabash friends second home is that it’s so comfortable in a totally uncluttered way. They have a fabulous screened porch (perfect to watch fireworks from) that in my opinion is just perfect for lounging on a nice plush sofa with a fabulous book. Since it’s not 100% weather proof though it would need outdoor friendly furniture….I have a vision.
While adventure hunting in Calabash we were heading for Island Classic Interiors and I literally did a U-turn in the middle of the road when I saw a really cool bamboo patio set outside of Almost New Consignment. I decided…Lisa had to have this for her screened porch…it was PERFECT!!!

| Almost New Consignments 6692 Beach Drive, Ocean Isle Beach NC Isn't that sofa just an invitation to relax with a good book? |
Furniture that is more contemporary in its age than necessarily in its design - there were quite a few pieces I would most definitely live with.
 |
| Nice selection of Dash & Albert and Company C Rugs..would add great color to any room! |
Since I was limited in suitcase space (darn it, I really need to buy a larger suitcase don’t I) I settled on a beautiful blue plate that adds the perfect pop of color to my almost finished dining room.

| Love that this has a seaglass-look quality to it! |
Next stop was our initial intended destination Island Classic Interiors on Ocean Isle Beach. What a lovely little shop – all I could think of was Earnest Hemingway (see his Key West house by following this link to Lulo Design's Blog) while I was perusing the British Colonial with a Beach Flair feel of this shop.
I got so many ideas from this shop…I’ll never have enough time to execute everything I want to “knock off” for my house.

| I am so going to make this shade! |

| The striping on this brings such a updated look to this very classic style...again a great way to bring some color to a room. |
