Looks like the perfect place to get away from in all, doesn't it? That view!! <a href="http://www.lonny.com/mag/osWdLZXQXc7/May+2014/A4FV0R659pn/Caribbean+Dream" target="_blank">Lonny</a> had an article all about it, check it out and see more photos by <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/team/IngallsPhotography" target="_blank">Ingalls Photography</a> over <a href="http://www.lonny.com/mag/osWdLZXQXc7/May+2014/A4FV0R659pn/Caribbean+Dream" target="_blank">here</a>!<br /><br />We are not headed to the Caribbean ourselves, instead we're flying to Seattle where we will be staying a few days before visiting Vancouver. After that we we'll be in Seabrook, WA for our friends' wedding. I've actually been wanting to visit <a href="http://www.seabrookwa.com/" target="_blank">Seabrook</a> for a long time, it looks like the cutest little coastal town!! <br /><br />I have some great guest bloggers filling in for me next week, but feel free to stay on top of my adventure on <a href="http://instagram.com/houseofturquoise" target="_blank">Instagram</a>!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

Her wraparound front porch on the coast of Long Island is nothing short of a dream! It's a little bit vintage, all sorts of happy and sprinkled with coastal touches! To top it off the makeover was done on a budget, coming in at just under $100! She reused everything she had, just gave it all a fresh coat of paint. And the cute sofa?? She actually made that herself!
