The letter H

Take a close look at this cuff... Do you see it?

I share the initial H with non other than India Hicks, and this cuff is from her collection at Sugar Mill by India Hicks. It's very inexpensive, even better right?

Have a fun week :)

King's Treat!!

The Bahamas have been on my mind lately, wanting to make the short trip so bad.....
A friend of mine is getting married (Fall 2012), and since "the other half" is Bahamian, perhaps the event will take place there, but it has not been decided yet, guess what my vote would be!

Please join me for a little tour of King's Treat, an India Hicks property. All these directors chairs are lined up like soldiers, ready to welcome you, easy to pick up and move to where ever you would like to spend a little time....
You know I am good for a Black & White themed photo, don't you?

 

A newly renovated, simple kitchen. Sustainable surfaces, easy to maintain and finishes that will stand up to the sea air, which is an absolute must in Island Living!! (Pun intended!! ;) ) Love artwork in a kitchen, and why not bring in some of the foliage... It's all about indoor / outdoor living anyhow, right?

Doubling the living space; Wide porches surround the house, and lounge-y seating areas make for comfortable living! Keeping all the woodwork white and cool, keeps your senses calm; quiet textures and interesting shadow patterns!! Love the graphic lines of the floorboards, the siding on the house, the Bahamian shutters, the trellis and the ceiling. Perrrfect for drinks; It's five o'clock somewhere, right?

Can you feel the breeze?
Such a pretty space!!
I am envisioning flip-flops and bathing suits.

Breakfast is served!
Not a bad way to start the day.....

A small bedroom shows much bigger than it is... Beautiful mix of Caribbean decor, quiet luxury, fresh flowers and clean fluffy towels! Yes, please! ... Love all the frames with local birds!

Sit here to write your travel notes, your postcards or a blog post, perhaps??

This beautiful estate is named Kings Treat, it's on Kings Street in Dunmore Town on Harbour Island, Bahamas. It's owned by India Hicks, and along with several different properties it is yours to rent for a week or more here.

Day dreaming at it's best :)

I'm a fan of Seafans!!

Have we not all drooled over the India Hicks book ISLAND LIFE? I know I have, and I especially remember this image, I find the white - on white - on white interesting! Her logo with the H's is so cool!! And I really like the gilded chair with the white linen upholstery, but what always catches my eye, is the upside down sea fan... Love that pop of coral. How pretty!

Next time I go snorkeling I will look for one.... Of cause it's a HUGE NO-NO to take anything away from a live reef, but sometimes these come loose, and can be found floating or washed up, look out!!

This beautiful black fan looks so cool against the white background, and the black frame just pops! If you look really closely, you can see all the tiny little "branches", acting as netting.

This image of sea fans is from Island Home, the store featured here.

So, are you a FAN yet??
