Overlooking the breathtaking waters of the Gulf, <a href="http://www.meyerre.com/house/Veranda_The" target="_blank">The Veranda</a> is a beautiful, spacious beach home from <a href="http://www.meyerre.com/" target="_blank">Meyer Vacation Rentals</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mary-Messer-Designs/111037585599786" target="_blank">Mary Messer Designs</a>, specifically designed with large gatherings in mind! We're talking 10-bedroom/10-bath + two half-baths! The designer clearly turned to the colors right outside, filling the home with sandy shades and sea-glass hues! Love the kitchen so much, that turquoise backsplash...what a dream! Learn all about the rental and see tons more photos <a href="http://www.meyerre.com/house/Veranda_The" target="_blank">here</a>! <br /><br /><br />When I learned that <a href="http://www.meyerre.com/" target="_blank">Meyer Vacation Rentals</a> was a huge supporter of <a href="http://www.operationreconnect.org/" target="_blank">Operation ReConnect</a>, I knew I had to tell you guys about that too. Operation ReConnect is a non-profit organization that provides deployed combat veterans and their families/support systems with a free week of beach-front accommodations while they are home on leave. Basically a gift of time that allows for an uninterrupted week for these families to reconnect, donated by the owners of the beach homes. I thought that was such a cool idea!<br /><br />If you own a beach house/condo and are interesting in donating it to a combat veteran and their family for a seven-day period (or longer!) or know of a combat veteran that could use a week at the beach to reconnect with their loved ones, visit <a href="http://www.operationreconnect.org/" target="_blank">Operation ReConnect</a> or their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OperationReconnectGulfCoast" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> to get more info!  <br /><br /><br />Oh and you have to see this turquoise stunner...<a href="http://www.meyerre.com/house/Windswept" target="_blank">Windswept</a>, another gulf-front home from Meyer Vacation Rentals, was a donation to the organization that Operation ReConnect families were recently able to enjoy!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSmdZgzHRVOTUf-CpsnbaDLISWt5D314RtV_eXzv_jnv5EKJrcqlSZGHO30bInd8wul_AP_d76ltwZui55B1HvWPOvcBmI_zMctA4p5Y3NUFnvGgBU1B0iM7wFVf0orxMf2bXTqLuckQ_N/s1600/WEB_FRONTA.jpg" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDQhgPra-bMYKSLhIn68g3IN-THCVISx6DVl0rMFdZ6YgUaYfmfjF_iy6e7EG3s5ehRuwkNy82rqGzqgmGMJNEWyxbAP1uqDp4pT4Zsnoo18tPTac-2KHlWlSHI_VAUzvjVk3rgZN0cVpy/s1600/WEB_BACKB.jpg" /></div><br />Amazing, right?!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

After a major update by the talented designer, the dated 1970s-style house was given a light, open and airy transformation. My favorite space is the large area in the back of the home with the kitchen that opens up to the cozy family room!

/><br /><a href="http://www.schneidermans.com/" target="_blank">Schneiderman's Furniture</a></center><br />There's nothing like spring to get you excited about outdoor decorating! Whether you have a tiny balcony or a poolside patio, isn't it just so nice to be able to extend living spaces to the outside?! I've been eyeing patio umbrellas lately as we have a large deck and a new fire pit area that could use a little shade. I used to think they were only good for popping into the middle of a patio table...totally not the case at all. There are so many possibilities, as you can see above!  <br /><br />That is exactly why I'm super excited about this week's giveaway, it's definitely one that I wish I could win! <a href="http://www.schneidermans.com/" target="_blank">Schneiderman's Furniture</a> is a fantastic local furniture store here in Minnesota and they are generously giving away one lucky reader of mine a beautiful <a href="http://www.schneidermans.com/products/Outdoor.asp" target="_blank">patio umbrella and base</a>! (Retail value $338!) I think it's the perfect complement to so many outdoor areas! <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.schneidermans.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.schneidermans.com" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfUq566q5S49FMTXajouLYuNtSsQQbGQxBBYvO3wEfrniRW0DgwANYE6oicUo4XrFMtuwGCApvfFMjFAPwEh3a9ZgkIeVsnOcONARWLIIsb0NCkbtnfhdzwmwji9R5dg_9dzeWxXlJSyoI/s1600/ocean+breeze+umbrella.jpg" /></a></div><br />My favorite is "Ocean Breeze", but the winner of the giveaway can actually choose from one of these great umbrella options below! (They all look good with turquoise!) <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.schneidermans.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.schneidermans.com" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkY2gNn-bZB2Kt-0Qwr6IV9c2u_iIEe-ZdHV8f5P3jMd-Q8B9TC_Wdc9fS0pa_JrL_JMG9H44jDuyFdpyCGqsJ7qm5WTLRHTmfideD2vFbmJG9cTZxyuNqyZ97lAdxSKmgf9ysWdih-DjV/s1600/Treasure+Garden+Umbrella+Color+Options+-PNG+-++Schneidermans+Furniture.png" /></a></div><b><br /></b> <b>To Enter:</b><br /><br />I'm getting with the times and running this giveaway using Rafflecopter...I think it will be a lot easier for everyone to enter!
