Cottage by the Sea

Since I was born, I have spent every summer at my family's ocean front cottage. My brother and I would spend our days building sand castles, "farming" hermit crabs and, eventually, trying to get the sand out of our bathing suits. However, since having moved almost a 1000km from home, my summers are now spent in my 3rd floor city apartment longing for the ocean breeze, the sound of the waves and the sand in my bathing suit. Although I love living in the city, our cottage is undoubtedly the thing I miss the most about back home and these beautifully decorated spaces fill my craving for it, if only for a brief moment.
