As you start to come around the side things start to look better. The natural beauty of the creek and landscape can make any "shack" look good. I started with a flower bed, added colored sap cans up the side of the wall and then found two old bamboo fishing rods. The furniture in the front is quite comfortable and the canvass umbrella can be adjusted to provide shade anytime of day.

Here's another shot of the side. 

The rope bed is surrounded by my own collections. Wrought iron end tables, an old saddle on the wall is great to hold fresh flowers, an outhouse door on one wall and a window valence on the other makes a great shelf more "things".

These shots of the living room are from three different angles. You can see that iron furniture has it's place in any motif. The "theme" mirrors are my own creations and have found they're way into the finest homes in Baltimore and even in ski resorts in Western Maryland.

These two shots tell it all. Ron Covington is a balloon artist and clown that is taking a much needed break. The other handsome fellow is my brother. Mark knows that our creek is host to the Maryland Bass Tournament.

That's John, my husband, worrying about his other love, the boat  "Julia Sea" during an unusually high tide.
