My addition will be a modest one compared to many.

but....I love this little gem, and want to share...
Welcome to our back yard...amidst the banana trees (no monkeys...I think) and

tropical jungle gone a tad wild... where we are lucky to have a hidden
little gem of a guest cottage or casita. It tucks quietly behind our main house, and is a jewel of coral and persimmon color.
That my Mom (Grandma B) has made her own!

Yep, even better than living down the road...

she lives down the path.

You enter into an enclosed courtyard with a gated entrance(ooooh)

and a vine covered arbor...
...That opens to a winding path...





That unfolds to the little Casita...with a barrel tile roof

and working shutters...



When you enter the cottage, you step into a great room...strong Beams above.

A funky little fireplace in the corner...






One wall is all window/door...open to the palms and tropical fruit...




The tiny kitchen is on one side of this great room...open to living



Old european furniture is at home amongst the white walls and beams



....A small hallway leads to one of the two bedrooms...



Spanish Birth chairs are alwyas ready for a game of chess (talk about multi-tasking!)


...back outside Palm fronds cool ... Birds sing

Translation: Home sweet home. Perfect

...But...let me tell ya....

Said grandma can also make an amazing martini!

A-MAZing!

Phew...that was long...ready for that martini about now...you?

Thanks for popping by...
