In reply to Nancy. I thought it looked like sea salt! I’ve been wanting to paint my walls sea salt for so long. Thanks so much, your house is beautiful!

In reply to Liz. Thanks so much! It really is. It's called Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams.

I love the color of your walls! Looks like a Serene blue! May I ask what color/brand it is?

In reply to Teresa Bragg. Oh my gosh, really?!! Haha, that is so funny. Darn! And yay, I'm so glad you love the instructions but you've got to get busy, girl! Go for it! Pick something up small (and cheap) at the thrift store to practice on. You can do it! And thank you, aw, yes, Ryder says hi to Lucy and Carli too. xoxo

Hi, Nancy! I wish I would have known you needed a beige cover. You could’ve had mine! I purchased a new one on Facebook Marketplace for $25, thinking it was white. When I got home, I looked at it and it was beige. We could have swapped! It was for the 2 cushion love seat. I just love reading your blog! I live in Hampton, just across the bay from you! I love the instructions you give for painting furniture. I’m still a little nervous about painting but one day, I will try it. I love your coastal house! My two Bulldogs, Lucy and Carli wanted me to tell Ryder hi!

In reply to Michele.

Hi Michele!
Oh yay, I’m glad you were able to find it. I imagine those will all be gone soon too. And yes, I paid more too but those were my sentiments exactly!
I’m so happy to hear that and yes, we are excited to get started on it! xoxo

In reply to Sharon.

Hi Sharon,
It’s called “cream” but it is ivory-cream colored with blues and tans. And yes, I have the 9×12 size. :)

What color is your rug…cream or blue? Is it the 9 x 12 size? I’d like to order one like yours.

Hi Nancy,
I’m so glad I saw your post that the Ektorp line of sofas at Ikea is being discontinued. I have the same white sofa as you and I wasn’t able to get the beige from Ikea but like you, I was lucky enough to find one for 110.00 on Ebay. It was originally 124.00 but I negotiated to 110.00. I know it’s more than it was at Ikea but I don’t want to stop using our sofa anytime soon and it’s cheaper than a whole new sofa! The beige will go well with my decor and I like that you said it’s softer. We have alot of the same taste and decorate similarly. I always find inspiration from your rooms!
I’m anxious to see what you do to the new beach house!! Stay safe!

Nancy, I LOVE the new furniture covers! They really look great! It does pay to be persistent, doesn’t it?! Looking forward to seeing your bedroom! xo
