outdoor living ~ bluwaterstyle

It's always 5:00 somewhere, and it's always summer somewhere ~ especially in my mind. The calendar says it's almost November, but it's been warmer than usual here, so we are still loving some porch and patio time. This time of year I'm up for a little pumpkin spice and a lot of football, and it's even nicer when we can ... read more ~~~

sundial charters ~ tybee island

We had planned a bluwatergetaway for this weekend, but things didn't work out as planned. So when you can't be there, revisit a favorite from earlier this year! We enjoyed a fun trip to Tybee Island, GA earlier this year, and our sunset cruise with Captain Rene and Sundial Charters was AH-MAZ-ING! Lots of photos in this ... read more ~~~

hang a mirror? easy peasy!

hang a mirror? easy peasy!

Easy is always a relative term. Like when I have a problem with some electronic device and Bluwaterguy tells me how to fix it, starting with "it's easy" ~ and of course, it rarely is from my perspective. So when he told me he had an easy way to hang a mirror, I thought, "uh-oh, here we go" ~ but this really is an easy way ... read more ~~~

Amy Howard ~ one step paint

This post is all about how I refreshed some of my old furniture with a new look using Amy Howard One Step Paint. But it could also be titled "yes, I've had this furniture for 40 years" or "why I always skip ahead to the happy ending" or "what I did this past summer" ~ because all of those things are part of this story. Grab ... read more ~~~

Welcome to our recipe series blog hop ~ the Ultimate Recipe Challenge ~ and this time we're making the most of broccoli!

pimm’s cup cocktail

pimm’s cup cocktail

How about an easy refreshing cocktail that is perfect for the summer heat? An original Pimm's Cup is one of our favorites! A tradition at Wimbledon, it's also nice for our US summer holidays. We decided to have a festive cocktail hour with Pimm's and some tea sandwiches just because. It's all in fun and a good excuse to ... read more ~~~

floor lamp ~ easy update

floor lamp ~ easy update

Looking for an easy project this weekend? Here's a 5 minute SCBD project {small change, big difference} to bring a generic floor lamp from the 1990's into the 21st century.  I wonder how many of the torchiere floor lamps were sold in the 90's? They were certainly a popular item from every home improvement ... read more ~~~

tiki bar tailgate ~ 2016

Welcome to our annual tiki bar tailgate at the Jimmy Buffett concert! Neither rain, nor heat, nor 60 hour work weeks will keep us from cranking up the blender and getting our parrot head vibe on ~~~ We arrived in an afternoon thunderstorm and waited for it to pass, before we were able to set up. It cleared off pretty ... read more ~~~

pearl and leather jewelry ~ bluwaterstyle

We were out and about visiting Scott Antique Market a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday. Unless I'm on a mission for something specific, I'm more of a browser and like to wander about. Bluwaterguy is great at spotting good stuff. He knows my likes and at 6'6", he has a height advantage. He can see over crowds, look down ... read more ~~~

Martha is annoyed, Trudy is feeling neglected, Hermione cried uncle three weeks ago ~ and me? I've just been trying to stay afloat! Things have been quiet around the blog and on social channels here for some weeks, as my return to corporate America sucked up all my time and energy for a while. I think the tide may be ... read more ~~~
