Cottage season is close, and we`ll definitely need somewhere to hang our stuff. Why not on these rustic vintage hooks made from recycled mouldings and upcycled hardware? Updated with eco friendly paint and sealer, these are perfect for the eco cottager`s bathing suits and towels, sundresses and sarongs, fly swatters and mosquito nets. (Can you tell I`m excited about summer?)
From: $19 USD

Yes, readers, the buzz is true. Sarah’s trading in her signature high heels for, well… Not-so-high heels.
Making its debut on HGTV tonight (YAY!), Sarah’s Cottage sees the divine Ms Richardson take Tommy and the gang on a trek through cottage country — an island 20 kilometres offshore, in fact — to tackle her very own northern getaway.Â
Â
Sarah’s husband bought a bachelor shack on a tiny island off the coast of Parry Sound, Ont., a few years back, and now it’s getting the Design Inc. treatment, with more than a hint of “green” thrown in as well. The cottage will be loaded with off-the-grid goodness, including a combination of solar, wind and propane power, and other savvy design solutions. Can’t wait to see what Sarah and Tommy have in store for this summer escape!
The best news of all? Style At Home magazine has the exclusive reveal of Sarah’s Cottage coming up in the July 2009 issue! On stands in early June (although subscribers will be getting it at the end of May, you lucky ducks), it’s just one more reason to get ‘cited for summer!
Sarah’s Cottage, Tuesdays at 9PM EST, HGTV
Separately, the words thrill and make my toes tingle. Beach. Cottage. Both are delightful. But combined, these two words evoke a feeling far more intense, conjuring up images of a summer by the sea, the smell of salt in the air. Not Hawaii or Jamaica. This is like Nantucket. Quaint. Historic. Rustic. Mary Emmerling’s Beach Cottages: At Home by the Sea (Random House, 2008) is a book of beautifully photographed beach cottages around America. Check out an excerpt here.
And if you`re lucky enough to be heading to a cottage this fine summer weekend, enjoy!
