IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME FOR THE SUMMER
Welcome to The Home and Cottage section of PEI Living Magazine Summer 2020. It is an absolutely beautiful summer to be here in Prince Edward Island. Despite living under so many restrictions Islanders have come together. And while this year has been a time of uncertainty and change it is one that has come with found opportunities. There are so many positive and healthy takeaways from our shared situation. We have been forced to take stock of our health. More than ever people are enjoying fresh air activities like taking a time out for a walk or a run, going for a bike ride or enjoying water sports like swimming, paddle boarding or kayaking. Encouragement to “Staycation” means getting the chance to enjoy this wonderful Island we call home. A moment to explore Prince Edward Island by taking part in local activities, exploring parks and beaches. This is also a great time to support our local shops, restaurants and markets.
Inside our homes people have been tackling organization and home improvement projects that perhaps would otherwise have been put off for another day. People are discovering new past times like the joy of baking and/ or cooking. Gardening has become the new “it thing”. More than ever before we are growing our own fresh veggies and herbs in whatever space we have available whether in the ground or in container pots. For the Home and Cottage features we have put together a few DIY projects that are easy to do in a weekend. We are showcasing a coastal cottage renovation sure to inspire you with its laid back vibes and hip style. We were invited into the outdoor spaces of real Islanders homes. A chance to explore and share how they are #peiliving, decorating, designing and creating their own personal outdoor havens. A round up of patios, decks, pools, gardens and entertaining areas.
