My love affair with a house continues. We leave Provincetown on Sunday so I only have three more days to "visit" this perfect beach abode. I was able to see the property from the beach and the dream still lives, possibly even stronger now that I had the opportunity to stand at the bottom of the steps in bare feet with the sand between my toes imagining walking through the garden into the house of my dreams.
Here is the property from the beach. The main house is on the right and the guest cottage on the left with a lovely garden between.
I imagine the guest cottage as the perfect separate space for friends and family that visit but also a quiet spot to read and meditate. With three large walls to fill with art, I have selected these pieces to continue the collection in the main house. These are pieces by two of my favorite Louisiana artists and seven excellent Cape Cod artists.
Above the bed and the starting point of the guest house collection, a diptych by Mallory Page:

OK. I think I can now accept that Tim and I are not going to own this unique property in Provincetown. By the way, the asking price is 1.695 million. That helps let the delusion go!
As I have gone to all of the excellent galleries on the Cape and seen really fantastic pieces of art, I have assembled the dream collection that I would love to have. The pieces I chose are all available for any of you to add to your collection and I hope you will consider some of these pieces.
As I go into my final weekend in Provincetown, I will dream of future visits, get some sand between my toes, sun on my face, and look for boats on the horizon. I hope you are able to do the same wherever you are.
Peace,
Jeffery
