she sells sea shells

J.McLaughlin's newest shop located in Sea Island, Georgia

As a child, I have fond memories of a few trips to the beaches of the Carolina's and shopping little shops with my Mother and Aunt. Do you remember those little shops full of crafty shells, ladies in shell dresses. I would love a little shop to sell artful creations and souvenirs here.
I would have clean crisp paintings and always something fun on display.
Welcome to my "virtual" sea side cottage with my studio on the left, lots of natural light and natural beauty all around me.
Notice, I love clean lines.

Although I have never been to Sea Island, I would love to have a spot like this with this entrance.
This would be my art studio, lots of white, lots of light and a chandelier. I could easily transform the space for dinner parties. Nothing like a fire with the doors open for fresh cool air.
I could prepare dinners here in this lovely kitchen.
What sort of spot would you own and what would you sell in your Island shop?

    Oh I would love a small quaint store with fun home items and art work sprinkled around.
    That kitchen in your post is perfect BTW!

    Sea Island is dreamy! It is the quintessential southern beach community. You would love it there. The Live Oaks and Spanish Moss are divine.

    I love your painting and your ideas for an island shop. I've always wanted a beach house, somewhere where I would have an excuse to display my sea shell collection. :)
