Have you met my friend Sarah from A Beach Cottage?
In an act of bravery and passion, she and her husband moved their family from England and set off on an adventure to Coastal Australia. At A Beach Cottage, Sarah shares her projects, decorating ideas and ways to achieve a comfortable and casual home without spending a fortune.
In her own words, “I started blogging to document the journey of our fixer-upper cottage. But it has become so much more than a blog for me, it has provided me with a place to fulfill my passion for casual, laid-back decor, vintage coastal style and more has become for me a cathartic outlet at the end of the day”
I’m so glad that Sarah shares her coastal style on her blog. She is, indeed, the queen of vintage, whitewashed style. Every time I visit her online home, I feel like I’m breathing in a little bit of her life by the sea. And trust me, the air is beautiful there.
I am completely in love with her whitewashed, timeless style. Here are just a few of my favorite posts from A Beach Cottage.

To celebrate some changes going on at her blog and her feature in Artful Blogging magazine, Sarah is offering a wonderful giveaway. One lucky reader at A Soft Place to Land will receive a set of four beachy putty stripe placemats and four matching napkins.
They’ll arrive to you directly from the shores of Australia. If you’re lucky, they’ll still smell of fresh sea air.
All you need to do is leave me a comment here. Easy peasy! If you want extra entries, you can write about this on Twitter or Facebook and come back and leave another comment.
While you’re at it, make sure to visit Sarah at A Beach Cottage. She’s sure to become a regular stop for you.

My 3 year old son, was "coloring" today at the kitchen table. When I looked over to see what he was "coloring" with, I discovered the navy Sharpie in his hand… needless to say, its now permanently on my table. YIKES.
I really need this one for a new tablescape.
Cheers.

I adore Sarah and her beach cottage. She has inspired me in many projects.
What a great surprise to find one of my favourite blogs writting about my big source of beachy ideas! I live by the sea in Spain (excuse me for my english, i'm not native) and really try to put into practice her ideas. She is so talented!! I wish i get those napkins, it would be easier to me to keep on going beachy!
Thanks for turning me on to Sara's blog. Very nice.
What an exciting way to live life! I think all of us, in some capacity or another, envy the ability to pick up and move to a new place and truly engage our lives in the new locale.
Her blog is great! Such fun and wonderful ideas.
