I’m Kim, and if you are new to my blog, welcome! I am so glad you are here, and hope you become a regular at the Charming Homes & Gardens party, and to Shiplap and Shells!
My blog is all about my home, garden and life in the PNW. I live in a beach cottage on the Puget Sound with my husband and pups, Lucy and Jax. We have spent the last 8 years, renovating, improving and adding character and charm to our 100 year-old cottage.
THIS WEEK ON SHIPLAP AND SHELLS
TRANSITIONING THE GARDEN FROM SUMMER TO FALL
There is still so much to do in the garden as we get closer to fall, and before the first frost of the season. I hope some of the tips I’m sharing with you will help you transition your garden from summer to fall.

COLORFUL COTTAGE LIVING ROOM SUMMER TOUR
Welcome to my colorful cottage living room summer tour. While there is a friendly debate this time of year as to who is “team summer” and who is on “team fall”, I am still enjoying my summer decor. Because technically, it IS still summer, isn’t it?
