If I had a beach house
.....just a little tiny one....two bedrooms.....one for us and one for you....gray shuttered windows, vintage sea paintings, an ocean side porch, some weathered old rocking chairs,
WHERE
I could watch the magic of the summer sun playing on the waves, hear the laughter of children building homes of sand, feel the ocean spray, ...........
I'd paint it in colors with beautiful and peaceful and soothing names
LIKE
surfside, pool house, canopy stripe, restless seas, sea salt, shoreline mist, crushed coral, or mermaid,
AND
cool reflection, blue lake, shaded cove, splash, sea grass, aqua, east coast, smooth sailing, ocean dream, sand ............
with a touch of
flamingo pink and bird's nest buff and saltwater taffy
DREAMING
On This First Hot Day of Summer
Until then I invite you to join me by the pool,
sit in the ol' fish chair, have a cool drink
Dip your pink tootsies in the water..........feel the cool
Under a dome of glass, rest the spoils of the last vacation.....listen....can you hear the ocean calling ....
DREAMING

Oh Lynn, how I would pack my bags now to spend some blisful time poolside! This coming month would have been my sons 29th birthday, plans would be coming how we all would fly to AZ next year to surprise him for his 30th in 2013! Right now amidst the sadness of his loss I'll gladly settle for poolside since no ocean side is available! Thanks for such a lovely post!! Lori
It all sounds wonderful, Lynn! There's nothing like an ocean breeze. On a hot muggy day like this, I'd take your pool in a second! Lucky girl!
Marigolds are peeking their heads out!! :)
XO,
Jane
Hi Lynn! If I ever get a beach house you can come and visit me too!!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Oh I couldn't agree with you more, a beach house would be a dream come true! Those paint colors sound just yummy! Thank you for such a cute post! :)

Oh looking at your pool pictures makes me miss our pool that we had when we lived in California. I loved it. Always a great way to cool off on a hot day. That fish chair is o cute!
What a great summer post! I'll be right over to sit in that fish chair..with a glass of Merlot please!
A beach house . . . that WOULD be lovely and I love your descriptive colors you'd choose for it :) Mine would be on St. Simons Island, GA!
What a wonderful dream I would love to join you- either at the beach OR I will take the fish chair! xo Diana
i love that fishy chair - so cool!
What a beautiful post! I would love to join you at the pool, and dip my toes in, and my knees...
Oh how I miss my pool. I would love a little old fashioned cottage by the shore. They are getting harder to find as people are tearing them down to build big new beach homes.
Ohhhh how I would love love a beach cottage! You have me dreaming for sure :)
I feel transported. I would love to sit with you and wiggle my toes in the pool.♥
Lynn, Your pool looks very inviting on a hot day like we had today. Thanks for joining the Open House party this week.
What a beautiful post! It is ridiculously hot outside- this just made our day!
Thanks,
Laura and Blakeley
It's been near 100 the last few days here! I'd love to come over for a dip!
Well honestly, if I had your beautiful home and location I don't think I'd want to go anywhere else BUT that said as soon as you buy that beach property I'll be there !
:)) (())
A perfect way far anyone to spend their life.
HPS, Lynn. I'd love to come and sit in your fish chair....that sounds like a divine way to spend some wonderful time with you.
Oh and I love how your Frenchy cushion turned out for your window seat....you did find the perfect fabric!
L, Dana
AHHHH!! I feel the sensation, of that cool water over my feet as I'm sitting out here alongside our pool too!! Thanks for sharing the wonderful images, hope you have a fun Pink Saturday!
What a delightful collection of images you inspire! Happy Pink Saturday to you, Dru
Hi Lynne, I would love to come sit by the pool in that fabulous fish chair! Happy Pink Saturday. ~Marti
Sure wish I could join you at the pool. . .Way too hot here for me. . .a pool would be lovely. . .
Wow
I could dream that too
Oh, the many times I have spoken those very words...if I had a beach house. :) Well, I live in Florida so I guess I can consider it one large beach house. hmmmm...not quite the same.
I see your pink toes and I smile because I posted similarly earlier this week (Better by the Sea), pink toes too. :)
The pool sounds heavenly just about now.
Happy PINKS!
Marcia
Cannot wait to join you:)
Visiting for Pink Saturday- hope you can stop by..

I'll sit on the fish chair! Gorgeous! Today, it rained all day long in Paris :(
I live in Arizona and my husband, kids and I enjoyed a little cool water of our own.
Oh, that looks wonderful! I'll take the fish chair!
