Beach blues…

I've got a major case of the blues. Back to reality after another fabulous week in Rosemary. It's as hot as Hades in Atlanta. Swim team is in full swing -- my full time job for the month. And, I got some unfortunate news at my 6-month post-op appointment last week. No tennis until October. Say what? I went to a few clinics at the beach and felt fine. And I had already told my fearless captains that I'd be back for the fall ALTA season. A quick update on my team while we're on the subject. They were demoted not once, but twice during my absence. I was obviously missed. We have gone full circle. Back to D1 status.

To lift my spirits and add a bit of bliss to your Monday, I present the perfect blue/green beach palette.

Coastal window shopping...

A closer look...

 {beach treasures -- star fish, sea biscuits and driftwood}

Sweet ride…

Blue picket fence…

Serenity...

Have a seat in the blue-washed rocker upstaged by the blue glazed pot. Adorable mini palm...

I loved this cute sea foam gate. You can see straight through to its twin on there other side...

Love this one too. Such a welcoming side entrance...

An arched vine makes a huge difference...

Or over a pergola. Pretty blue trim on this house.

Nice color combo for your coastal garage doors….

It doesn't get any better than this. The door, windows, gas lantern, shutters, landscape, creeping vines. All inspiration for my future beach house.

Happy Summer!
