All of the little shingled cottages in Cannon Beach are always so appealing to me. I love walking down the sandy roads that curve along the ocean front. I've been there on the windiest, wettest days, and still feel the same draw. But this weekend was truly spectacular. The weather was warm, I got to happily rock my Southern California wardrobe. We took a tour of 10 of the historic cottages on Laurel. It always feels a little like virtual reality getting to step inside someone else's shoes on these tours. Every room is open for you to take a peek inside. One attic had a deck outside the window that if you were brave enough to crawl out onto you could sit and take in the ocean breeze and views of haystack rock. They were all summer (vacation) homes or rentals so the interiors weren't very pretentious in nature, but getting glimpses into how the other half live always gets my imagination rolling.
This cottage with the green trim always grabs my eye, isn't the attention to detail great? It's a thin tall house, that always brings to mind folk tales like Hansel and Gretel. Just about every house in cannon beach is shingled like this, so I love how they incorporated the whimsical swooshy oceanic details into the wood.

I hope all is well with you all, let's pretend it's not Monday... ok?!
