When I read House Beautiful’s contributing editor, Frances Shultz’s story, it caught my eye. After the breaking of an engagement, her love story ended and she was starting over in this adorable 1920’s East Hampton Bee Cottage to begin her new journey. I can definitely relate to starting over and love the transformation of her cozy house. I think you will too. Be sure to read Part I and Part II of the story at House Beautiful. It’s very inspiring.
What a completely adorable cottage! I could totally move into a place like this, could you?
I love seeing Before and After photos and these go from plain and boring….
To a room alive with color and texture.  Love this room too! 
Beautiful blues and creams. 
Check out the angle of the ceiling here and how it comes alive with color in the After shot.
She even took advantage of that sweet little built in cubby to display shells.
Another angled wall goes from a forgotten and bland room to energizing. 
The geometric fabric adds a lot of punch to the room, as does the rug.
Another built-in gets a nice facelift.
Now that is something pretty to reflect in the mirror.
A lovely dressing table.
Did you enjoy Bee Cottage as much as I did? It’s cozy, inspiring and I could feel right at home there!

So beautiful, I love the blues!!!
I went to the site and read the story. I like the how she came to name it bee cottage. Love her furnishings. The only thing I would change is the squiggly light bulb on the front porch. I know I will never like the looks of those. Thanks for the post and enjoyed it
