We turned the space into a total lounge — pulling the shag rug
out of my office, covering the furniture with loads
of cushy pillows, and using old wooden
crates borrowed from Loot Vintage Rental for extra seating and makeshift
tables.
I love the chicken
crate table, and how crazy, the day after you posted this I spotted one
of those
crates for $ 13 while checking
out our local ReStore for the 1st time!
There was a perfect spot next to the dining
table to put our dog's extra large
crate, and it fit just right.There was a vacuum in the closet, and we used it to try and keep up with our dog's hair.She is a golden retriever, and we thought she was molting!Hair everywhere and we kept bedroom doors closed, but we did our best to stay on top
of it.She behaved like a pampered princess, and she wasn't crazy about the heat and the humidity.One evening we sat
out on the porch with her, enjoying the evening in the rocking chairs, and when we came inside the BRB she collapsed on the floor inside and sighed.She apparently was thankful for the central air conditioning!For that reason, I think we will leave her with one
of our daughters the next time we visit and stay with the Mermaids.The BRB is located in a quiet neighborhood which was perfect for us.Even better, it is located around the corner from AJ's Dockside Restaurant.Good food and perfect outdoor views
of the sunset and the marsh from the outside tables.For those dinners when you would like to eat in, there is a grill in the backyard with a cover, and we used it multiple times.We had an excellent experience with the Mermaids, and we will most definitely stay with the Mermaids when we visit Tybee Island again.
To give the garden area a purpose and some personality, I built a DIY garden bench
out of cinder blocks and wood, added some container gardens, a DIY
crate side
table and some solar landscape lights.
