Beach Cottage
Series.
Drive NC-12 from Rodanthe to Hatteras Village and you'll see them — pink, seafoam, coral, sand-dune, storm navy. The painted cottages of Hatteras Island are part of the architecture of the place.
Ten hand-made canvas totes, each named for the kind of light and color you'd find on a porch on the soundside.

The Color of the Coast
Why the cottages are painted.
The painted cottages of the Outer Banks are not a tourist invention. They are a working tradition. Color was — and still is — a way to mark a house, locate a family, navigate a village from the sound side at dusk.
A pink cottage on Rodanthe stands out against gray storm sky. A seafoam house in Avon catches morning sun the way the dune grass does. The palette is local, weathered, and earned.
The Beach Cottage Series carries those colors off the cottages and into everyday life. Every tote in the series is a small painted homage to a specific kind of light, on a specific kind of porch, on a specific stretch of barrier island.
Questions.
Are these named after real cottages?
The names are nautical and coastal — Nauticus, Sea Glass, Mariner's Light, Compass Rose. The colors come from real cottages along NC-12 between Rodanthe and Hatteras Village. We honor the architecture without naming the families who live in it.
Can I request a cottage?
Yes. If you have a favorite cottage, send us a photo and the village. We add new tributes seasonally based on customer requests and our own walks down NC-12.
How are the colors selected?
Each tote uses canvas selected from supplier swatches that match cottage colors within fabric tolerances. Our digital values are guides — physical swatches confirm every run.
