The unsung hero of the house which never gets air play on here - this amazing mid century chrome light above the kitchen table. The design, the crackled glass, all of it is just incredible and adds so much to the design of the house. Sourced from @provenancecompanies in Philly, a great place for all things architectural salvage.

When her watercolor unexpectedly blew into a tide pool, we made a practice of it by dipping her other paintings in the pools to see what would happen. What a great way to learn collaborative art with nature!!!

Soon after buying the cottage I visited @provenancecompanies in Philly and found these, just a few peeking out from a crate. I was so enamored of them that I immediately bought them, knowing they were the first piece in the design puzzle for the house. I didn’t know where they’d end up, but it didn’t matter, I knew they were meant to be. These likely were fireplace tiles at the turn of the century; now they adorn our kitchen above the stove. {Wood paneling behind panels - @stikwooddesign ; thanks to @gibbuild for all his building and design work}

One of my favorite shell finds at our beach, ever! This NJ State shell - the Knobbed whelk - is a marine gastropod (snail!) that lives in coastal waters and tidal estuaries along the Atlantic coast, from as far north as Cape Cod to south in Cape Canaveral in Florida. You can find them along the Jersey Shore, from Raritan Bay down to the Delaware Bay, which is of course our beach! What is your favorite shell find from NJ?

Today we finally made it to @stansperlak gallery and sculpture gardens, and what a treat! The art is so wonderful, the grounds are STUNNING and the kids had a blast meeting Stan and his dog Eli. Thank you, Stan for a great day. We highly recommend Sperlak as a stop on your way to or from @solecottage !

Need a breather after the holiday? We’re less than a block to an oft-deserted beach, in a quiet and cozy cottage. You are surrounded by art, creative materials (to make your own art), a lovely little fireplace, tea, board games, books and a record player. We’d love to host you - see link in bio for calendar and to book.

@seashoreflowerfarm worked her magic once again for us with this eucalyptus garland which brings a touch of the holidays and smells incredible. Are you ready to cozy up here? December is open and there are so many great events to find.

There’s a reason our name is Sole - sun in Italian. Light pours into the house in such beautiful ways, like this kitchen scene with sunlight cascading over the marble floating shelves. Come stay a while to take it all in.
