Our little Casita (guest house)…is home to Grandma B.
we made a few teensy changes this weekend...
and found a couple of interesting antler lamps.
…Getting lighter.
Originally it was built as a lodge, of sorts
…dark, no kitchen
it’s not a small guest house (1100 SF)…but Grandma B has a lot
of big furniture…
and art.
The 1970’s fireplace had a rock wall behind it…
and while I would love to paint the fireplace
white…
That isn’t happening this weekend sigh…
but we did paint the rock.
Better…..Lighter

Outside,
The machete worthy
tropical jungle survives…even thrives.
It has been dry, dry, dry here of late.
The ever changing casita…
Anything new at your Casa??
Happy Memorial Day...relax...and remember those that serve
and have served us.

Lucky Grandma B!!!
Even under dry conditions... the jungle looks lush from Seattle. The casita looks very comfortable.
I was wondering, is that a citronella oil lamp in the garden?
Your green space looks awesome!
WOW! Grandma B is one lucky lady! I would love to shack up there! It's lovely!
Ooops I missed the number for reservations. I'll take the week of Labor Day please.
Uhhhhhhhhhhh if it wasn't for the reptiles I would so be a Florida girl.
The plumeria on budding here, how about you guys?
One of the sweetest smells on earth.

What a lovely place to hang your hat! Just beautiful; love all the colors and the decor.
pure loveliness... what cute lamps!!!
What a beautiful little casita for Grandma B! Lovely foliage outside too. Thanks for sharing.
Love the changes you've made. Today we've been working on sanding the kitchen floors. I'll start the painting tomorrow...
Ooooo, the painted rock wall looks cool! Nice changes.
I have to second it, Lucky Grandma! Oh, I am one too now! lol
Wow, Grandma B has some great furniture and art! I'm very impressed! Would she like a roommate?!!
Really great changes! Well done!
Love the changes! How cool to have a casita! This weekend, spent alot of time gardening... broadcast a ton of shade/wildflower seeds in my woods..planted some flower pots...weeding, cleaned hummingbird feeders... watered, even got a little sun kissed! Next.. looking to paint the front door! just have to ponder over the colors! Hope your Memorial Day was grand!
Absolutely beautiful, Linda! Always wonderful!
I just love the casita and its jungle. Really love the palm fronds on the tables. And totally love the painted rock wall.
Remember several months ago (January?) Layla did a redesign for my bedroom? I'm just now taping off the bathroom to paint it - it's been mismatched with my bedroom all this time... now we think we want to paint the whole interior of the house to lighten it up... :) Lots of projects, little time.
**wipes drool from chin** LOVELY!!! I really should live in a jungle. I hyperventilate just looking at all your gorgeous green.
**blows kisses** Deborah
Oh, Grandma's got a lovely place to live! I just love everything you've done!
Be a sweetie,

If I were a grandma I would like to live in that little guest house, and enjoy the tropical environment-well done, it looks great!
Nothing new here, but your casita is SO stylish! I also love your tropical, lush garden - beautiful!
If I were Grandma B, I would never leave!!
Everything is blooming at our casita!! And there are bird nests in the rose bushes.
i am liking it.
it looks good !
Lucky grama B indeed! Your casita is beautiful!
Our casita lawn is in need of a machete given how much RAIN we have had, everything is crazy green and growing...but...I'd love to see the sun!
Nothing has changed lately... I would soooo LOVE to get a game room put together for my boys!!!
Grandma B is one lucky chiquita!
Does your guest house have a guest room? If so, I'm in. . . .

Looks great! I'm lovin' the palm frawns everywhere.
Grandma has one rockin' shack! I wish my MIL would take a decorating cue from your casita. She has similar furniture but it just doesn't look the same.
so so so gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
Wow...
That is one nice guest house!!
I love the tropical "jungle" .... it looks fabulous even in the dry conditions!! Take care and have a great week!!
Such a pretty casita!
I'll cook if I can visit! What a beautiful place to be....jenn
Love the feel of this - the garden especially.
Enchanting! I especially like the lamps in the first photo!
I think this is an incredible space, what a lucky Grandma B and what a wonderful person to host her!!

What a fantastic place to live! I envy Grandma B!
sigh...
I love what you did with your casita. Grandma B should be so happy living in this gorgeous space.
So, so pretty! It was lovely before, but is amazing now. So lush and tropical...sigh. :)
Wow I love casitas! sigh....I had a darling lil' studio casita at my other home...my husband built it and I loved it! So, when I see casitas, I get excited! Enjoy it Grandma B!

The casita looks very charming. I could spend some time in there with friends and a cool drink. Grandma B must love it.
Wow - what a dream guest house. I must admit I have a not so secret desire to have a guest house some day, maybe over the garage, but my husband is targeting the future 'over the garage' space for his office. All part of our 'in our imaginations' future home!
beautiful !!
and yes your grandma is sooo lucky!
Your pics always bring a smile to my face;) Love them!! French;)
Um...can I come stay in the casita?
I love Grandma B's casita! She has beautiful things and I know she must be very comfortable there. Your tropical grounds are specatular...
Love the lamps. Mind if I ask where you got them? Are they real antler/horn or resin?
Wow!! I LOVE your casita. I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! I told my DH that I wanted a casita for the abuelitas but I might move into it myself!! QUESTION: I live in Texas. I moved here from Costa Rica and my husband is from Mexico. I WANT A HOUSE LIKE YOURS. I keep telling my sweetie that I want to change the house to a tropical retreat. It is possible here. BUT EVERYONE KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT DOESN'T FIT WITH THE STYLE OR ARCHITECTURE OF THE HOMES IN DALLAS. Mind you, these are not true designers. What do you think? What do your design friends think? Can I transform my 70s ranch home into our dream home?
