In with the old

This past weekend we went back to Jackson, my brother's and sister-in-law's house that I have posted about here and here.


I love going there for the obvious reasons (waterfront views, beach, spending time with family, etc.) but I also love going so that I can see the latest progress they have made on their house.

Even though it is brand spanking new, they have done an amazing job adding a lot of character by incorporating old vintage finds.

This last visit, for example, I was wowed by this old porthole window purchased from Sailor Trading Co. that they installed in the master bathroom shower. 








Who wouldn't want a shower with a view like this?




Here's what the window looks like from the outside of the house:




Another place in the house where they tied in the old with the new is in their downstairs bathroom with this copper sink my mom actually found at a garage sale.




It's unique and like the porthole window, the sink adds a lot character to the bathroom.



Thanks Meryl and Sean for another great weekend!

    1. Whoops, now that I'm looking at this, I didn't mean to say "my house"! I meant that house! My house looks like tornado went through it. I'm pretty sure that no tours will be given until 2020! ;)

  6. The home of your brother and his wife looks amazing. Their bathroom window is a creative touch. It's a very fitting look for a home on the beach. I can't believe they installed it themselves. I would've thought it came with the house when they got it. They're very creative people, aren't they? Thanks for sharing that with us, Caitlin! All the best to you! :)
